Lol, they use a map instead of a map, lol
 
My terminal hired too many drivers, they have been getting 6-8 hours if that , we have the dumbest managers you can think of , now we have 20 % too many people and everyone is miserable because they can’t get any hours , and the managers don’t give a flying ^*#£ as long as they get their bonuses.
 
Yeah I can’t wait until jsp this year. It’s going to be very interesting to say the least. I’m guessing at least in the city out of my terminal a lot of the early start times are getting cut.

If these guys had it there way we would all leave at noon to go out and peddle freight.

Down is up , up is down.

We have city drivers on flex coming in early EVERYDAY like they have a bid , even though our terminal is slow. Nobody is off.

It will be crazy for some come JSP ( bid time )

On a positive note , I did see a story headline saying Old Dominion says slowdown will ease come springtime.
