Not to dwell on the past BUT New Penn had good management until the last CEO appointed Mosheir and Swanky to run the company and allowed them to run off the experienced guys. The current CEO booted both of them and there has been some improvement.If we don’t get some freight people running this show no amount of money will ever make a difference!!
Way down hill since 09I haven't been an employee since 2009, and big changes were needed even then. I don't believe anything has changed.
Pos sorry ass companyAt my terminal I’m being told we can only pick up so much freight locally because our outbound is 5,000 bills behind and we can’t move it , So crappy Dockworkers and crappy management.
I belong to another group and the talk is always about drivers sitting in motels for 2-4 days so if those lazy ass crappy drivers would get in the truck and drive the outbound freight would get moved!At my terminal I’m being told we can only pick up so much freight locally because our outbound is 5,000 bills behind and we can’t move it , So crappy Dockworkers and crappy management.

The company seem to lack the basic management structure. The company hires people with basic skills and they struggle to do the job at hand. They fail to excel or adapt to excessive workload and don’t demand employees do the job they were hired to do! If this company doesn’t get back to the basics of moving freight and making sure everyone knows what their job responsibilities are and most importantly employees held accountable it will continue to fail and sadly time is running out!I've noticed that there are a lot of lower-management and even some middle-management who do not have college degrees <snip>

No one has been held accountable for much of anything that I have seen in the last 17 years. Zollars with his shoot from the hip decisions, either had many good management people quit, or were let go back then, and many of the remaining have not been competent enough to make even simple decisions.The company seem to lack the basic management structure.

Who is going to train them?Heck if they don't want to pay a decent salary to attract a competent employee, hire a college grad and train them. Target hires fresh out of college grads and sends them to their own 6 weeks of business training and then to shadow someone for a week.
Well, a fresh out of college kid would be eaten alive on the dock, but at least give then some training on how to do the job and how to work with union labor.
They have good experienced people working there in the rank and file.Who is going to train them?
They want managers that do what the division VP says not one that can think on his own.
