we got this moron from central running our city opp. every day i talk to p&d drivers that have to leave freight on the street(theres not enough time or room on here for all of the storys). anyway, i go to the t.o.m. and ask whats up? he tells me, no way is this happening, i tell him, i've talked to to many men for this to just be a fluke, he replyes i'll check into it. go back and talk to him, his reply is, i've checked everything and there was a very good reason for every missed pick up, i kid you not. meanwhile, more city jobs get cut, more guys get layed off, the lower guys dont get in at all, and these idots walk around with there heads up there @#$'s. and they wonder why no one gives a .

I remember one day I was at a customer that called us for a 2 van volume. The city dispatch manager told the customer that the best he could do was send someone else back tomorrow, yet he had 10%ers sitting at home by the phone and city qualified people on the dock that could of went there for the pickup. Needless to say, the customer wound up using ABF for that trailer because their customer wanted the freight on the road to Texas asap.

This is just one of many stories I have working for the idiots that have been in charge of the city operation I have been at for many years. One of the biggest problems we have is the ego of our management. They act is if we are still in a regulated industry and the customers just have to sit there and deal with it. Wrong, the customers have options.... like to call another carrier such as ABF, UPS, FedEx, or Polar Bear from Ice Road Truckers!

Apparently 40% more of them are.

We have 3 supervisors for 35 people in one office-how dumb is that?

biggest mishap.....sending guys away on coo's every year and expect them to be happy moving every year like a gypsy, i think it's stressful if you ask me and it's the government that allows this to happen, blame politics cause they passed legislation to make hour times change every other year just to shake things up cause they know how to pull the working mans strings, we're just puppets to people that don't do any work at all but make themselves look important taking all the money for themselves and leaving the working man in the dirt, been this way for many years and it ain't gonna change cause the people in power want to stay in power
