Don't be upset Slick, you know someone always gets chosen last, nothing personal, you'll get over it someday.
That's normal..in 2016...was cut once a week from October till match...was still working 40s though

That’s the norm. Being cut is far different from having a massive layoff. SAIA rarely has layoffs because they cut drivers and rotate days off in P&D during the slow season. It’s the city guys that are use to getting 60 hours a week that cry the most. Many in linehaul don’t mind a day off from time to time.
Twice in the 10 yrs I was hear...none ever at my terminal

Now that’s sweet. But that wouldn’t be any fun. I must have a challenge like being up a tree waiting patiently. I love my solitude.
Hey, (Ole Retired One) don't put your cameras on a trail, put them on my porch!

Although me and SAIA had our differences over the years I have to say they are a great company.

When’s turkey season for you?
Train, I just go in the backyard for groceries, turkeys or deer, don't need to watch for snakes
Aprl 11- May 9th
I quit hunting in my early 20s, hunted deer 17 yrs, shot once and never got one, later I did get 3 at one time, with a Freightliner.
These are pests, you can't have anything in your yard, this is my home on the island, not the country.
They don't allow hunting on the island, deer have no predators.
Our animal lovers have a duckfit if you run over a squirrel, they want a funeral with all honors.
I sneak and shoot them out the kitchen window with a pellet gun.

You live in Martha’s Vineyard??? Damn, I didn’t know you had that sort of cash.
Train, I'm so poor, if steamboats were 10 cents each, all I could do would be run up and down the bank hollering "ain't that cheap" (Roy Clark)
So you want to deny Jimmy G's employer some extra sales?
Jimmy's business is fine, he has a sign on his trailer, (Drive Drunk,It's Good For Our Business)
Isn't turkey season 365 days a year here on TB?
No argument here!!!

ABF (050 Indy) has a 67 man city board & 10 are on lay off. By the end of the year maybe 5 more? I worked there from 1998 to 2016 & we never had 10 people laid off 3 weeks before turkey day. And we had a 30 many board the day I started & 80 man the year I retired. At one time Amazon in Indy represented 42% of our outbound freight. That is a lot of eggs in one basket. Now days I hear it's not even 5% of outbound. Companies change shippers for 1 cent a box irrespective of the service rendered. von.
Not really, but I can suggest it. Bosses have no sense of humor here....
