Just found out on lay-offs, Atlanta is laying off line-haul drivers, some of them got lay-off today, donot know how many, some them had over a year with OD. ATL has over 230 line-haul drivers and about 100 city drivers. Donot know how many will get lay-off. Also heard Greenville lay-off some too. Thats all I know so far.

I wouldn't have believed it either, but I have witnessed it. I have never known OD to lay off in the past, but these are extraordinary times. Indy laid off 7 dock workers Tuesday. They were trying to distribute hours evenly so everyone could work equal hours but it's been so slow that, unfortunately more drastic measures were necessary. I'm afraid it will get worse before it gets better, but I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
 
I'm getting confirmed body counts now.Some are laid off and others are getting choice of dock work or no work.Looks like they're going by job classification seniority.Of course they want this kept quiet.They should know by now how quiet it will be kept after the W.V. loverboy deal and the on going ACLU adventure.
