just think how much money o d will save if they let all these driver go an rehire them back at bottom pay.I heard they are laying off 10% of their driver fleet company wide. 50% City/ 50% Linehaul. It is already happening.:Flame-On:
Just got my walking papers today in TXK. Total of 7 linehaul and 1 P&D was what the Terminal Manager told me this morning.
Unemployment office looked like an OD drivers meeting this morning.
Well, kinda figured it was coming. Freight just isn't there right now.
I'll draw my unemployment until something comes up.
I was told that if business picks up enough and he can justify hiring another P&D driver that I might be called back.
Guess we'll see.
Well, good luck to everyone. Its gonna be a tough year.
Best of luck Dkillett 7 l/h in txk,thats almost all of your line wasn't it?Just got my walking papers today in TXK. Total of 7 linehaul and 1 P&D was what the Terminal Manager told me this morning.

i know in my area just coming thru driving school don't protect you they usually only come after you for the money unless you get another driving job then they file it with collections I know a former driver that was fired three weeks after completing school and that was what he was told in three years they have not bothered him for the cost of school since he wasn't driving a truck anymoreWith things happening, say if there is a lay off at a certain terminal, would the new people that have come through the driving school be laid off or would they be protected because of their agreement to drive for O.D. for a year to pay back the schooling cost.
Or would it be the discretion of the local T/M.
still don't make much since since we don't get paid to sit at home unless they think its not going to pick up freight wise this yearI heard today now they are leaning to targeting more linehaul than city. That sucks. Two friends got the axe!! Too bad. They have been sticking it out and giving their all, then this happens. I understand things are slow. But you don't have to target linehaul. (Even thought that is the highest pay)
