GUYS I INDERSTAND FEELINGS ARE HIGH BUT NO NAME CALLING. I WILL NOT HAND OUT POINTS OR INFRACTIONS YET...... WE NEED TO RESPECT EACHOTHER AND REALIZE GUYS ARE VENTING. I UNDERSTAND THAT AND FEEL FOR ALL THAT IS INVOLVED. PLEASE RESPECT YOUR FELLOW DRIVERS..... LAST WARNING FOR ALL ..... TBB

WITH that said I will feel better about the "givebacks"/"takeaways" if we as a company can be more competitive in our pricing. If we all can get a few extra miles on the back end of this deal it would make it feel better

Yeah, I agree. Its just hard to look to the future right now...Just like everyone else, I have a wife and 4 kids so there is alot at stake...BTW, anyone having a hard time sleeping theses dayz???

In the meeting they said that they were going to use more one ways because they were running too many empty miles! It looks as the line drivers might be getting hit harder then P&D! In this new bid that everybody is talking about can line bid to P&D?

What future are you looking for? You have a job..You have a family that cares for you..You're promised NOTHING in this world..Nor, are you going to be given anything..DCPS, everyone one that works for Estes Exprees Lines, has the same as you,problems,dreams and the pursuit of survival..I learned a long time ago, that everything you worked for,everything you sweated and bled for,can be taken away in an instant..That's why I live life to the fullest and have my freinds and co-workers in mind all the time..

People might think Rob wanted to do all this..In my opinion,nothing could be farther from the truth..This is devestating to his plans..DCPS, I know where you are coming from,and I support you 100%..Lets make this a learning thing..We, didn't take as big of a hit as some freight companies did..

As far as the drivers that got layed off,my prayers are with you and your families..As I know, I ,would be in yours..

The way I understand it,rookie..Everyone bids in their class..Team.Linehaul and Hub..Every freight line right now is using purchased tranportation..Heck I seen a contractor pulling OD trailers the other night..Something you never seen here in the deep south..FedEx Freight,Conway, all of them are using them..But,there are contractors that like to pick where they go,something this industry doesn't tolerate..Let them keep sitting at termainals for 14 to 20 hours at a time, see how long they stay or what they are willing to take..Take food off a man's plate,sooner or later he gets hungry..

Pay Cut thats next. As I see it a little at a time. Your numb now. Then the big hit. It called the 1 -2 whammy
