That phrase vitocorleone99 said will stick with me for a long time ...

Well after all the

i started back in march I had my own private viewing with my tm......its amazing how they can continue to think we are idiots....its gotten to a point where I couldnt care less anymore...even have stayed off of tb because I just am tired of being ticked off all the time...And wondering, mr vito is absolutly right.....a pencil is deadlier than a gun....this so called raise will actually cost me money...not alot...but it will cost me...and thier answer is we didnt make the goal.....if thats the case why give us anything......the cost of insurance is going to double for me..and we all know this is going to happen every year ...how much of the o/r was spent on almost every terminal renting trucks and trailers because conway wants to have all the extras for when yrc goes under.trucks that are just sitting in the yards collecting dust...and then I am told to participate in the program that will give conway access to my bloodwork...well in my opinion anyone who does this is a fool....they will use this against you if youre choleastoral or sugar is high because now u will be a risk...and how do we really kmow that we opertated at 96% and not 94%..lets not forget how honest they were when they stole a years worth of our vacation and personal days.....I dont know about you but i would of felt better if they would of told us we didnt make the goal and end it there...instead of giving me 2.5% and taking it back plus some for insurance payments

And then they might say we need to make $400 mil profit before we get and ICP. So, I at this point in time say that we will NEVER see that dang check again.. RIP ICP!!!!

I heard p&g pulled the plug..... from my tm

It doesn't feel too good to be tossed aside after giving the best years of your life.

come on dont forget they are giving us the better trucks for the longer runs....so all youre best years havent been a waste.....

There is just too much crap anymore. Too many groin kicks for me to care...(and many others as well!)...

Todays video wasn't as bad as I had expected...basically a wash!

Most of us in the waning years of our chosen careers don't quite see eye to eye with the company...

My manager made mention something to the effect if you are counting on the five or six weeks of vacation lost to benefit your retirement then you aren't ready to retire...thats not the point...its the idea that they failed to deliver on what they promised...

Something that they seem to be good at as of late.

Hey Rat he said we were exhausted because of the increased work hours....if they knew anything about a driver especially a linehaul driver thats why we do this...or i do...i want my 60 everyweek...i am "exhausted" from all their bull

....but i know one thing I am doing this over 20 years and if something happens here I will find a job a lot faster than the "management team".....they cant get a computer to do what I do...at least not yet
