os&d guys name was MOE GULIPSE or something like that,been with npme for along time, if it was he you guys talking about. hollands been haveing driver ads in hbg, paper for last 2-3 weeks. one rumor was they got bordner book account. they just opened 800,000 sq. ft. warehouse in carlisle, and are said to be hireing 500 people for warehouse. nothing is happening to npme per say, there selling npme&bestway-npme and reddaway, and makeing good money and profit from exchangeing freight. there makeing a killing just in fuel sur-charges.if these guys are leaveing, it's probably because they have been with npme back when we were the elite fleet, only now yellow is makeing npme deal with numbers that they didnt worry about before, and hounding TM's to make these numbers. os&d guy could go to a terminal if it was showing lots of claims and talk to the dock guys about problems and put procedures in place to correct any big problem with loading or unloading freight. now, npme hires any ******* that puts in a app. they have no clue what made npme the best- less claims, more work less men to do it, and on and on, anyone thats been here for awhile knows what i mean- i'm sure this frustrates old time excutives and much as it does me. if they leave now, they can still go to other companys with npme rep. behind them and command top dollar. everyone wants to know how npme does it. unlike us who would take a cut in pay if we left with that much experiance. with road guys getting back so late in the mornings as i have heard alot are, and all the time constraitents that city guys have with delivering and of course pick-ups, its hard to believe we can still show 95% overnight del. in the north-east, even with the fudgeing of numbers we all know they did years ago. if anything, the volume of freight we have now and is ever increaseing , will be the down fall of npme. our jobs are labor intensive and the computers can only do so much. ok, said enough, guess i had a few to many this morning and running my mouth again, good night.
