so how many are still working in nashville?

what rule are they following for the terminations? I heard rule was changed to not just cut extra board to even take schedule drivers going by hire date in class.

des moines is sitting on 4 hub, 2 xtra, 1 line, 9 city. we have 1 full time dock worker. the rest are either part time or covered by drivers (i work the dock before my hub run). so i hope that des moines is a little too tight for layoffs.

The way Saia is slopping up Mid-West Starbucks Nashville may end up getting that freight back if Starbucks gets tired of the lousy service

That's my understanding.. extra and L/H schedules are all L/H and one class. Company time within them.

And that means if you are a schedule and have, say 5 years with the company , and there is an extra board driver with 6 years company time, even though you have a schedule you would be laid off first .
