XPO | Layoffs are coming

[truckdriver]

The new hires don't know how to use a shovel though. They were raised with a cell phone in hand, not a handle on life.

When I started working in the early 80's, I was the " Hey You Man"..... we have some crappy job that needs to be done. If you acted like it bothered you the old hands would ride your a$$ like borrowed mule.

Will layoffs be determined based on Driver performance? They can layoff senior drivers if they are not as good as new drivers

Some ov10 management poster has been drinking to much !!

Most of the new drivers can not even get all the stops off a city run before they are told to bulldoze the load to the nose so they can get some pick ups on .

Then it gets given to a old timer the next day with stops added to it .

You sound like one of my managers that have a answer for everything, except a real solution, we got 10-18 Linehaul drivers sitting on the butts , I am sure they will send 16 people to California, and pay them for the flights and what not

Same at my place. We have junior drivers call out almost once a week. When you only run 4, that’s a big deal. The last driver I helped train quit after linehaul training. Plus 80 hours covid pay. I texted him-WTF? He said he couldn’t work nights. Jokes on him though, he would have worked nights for a couple weeks and then gone to days. I hate training new drivers, because it’s a lot of work to do it right, and this is why. No more training for me. People suck.

That’s the biggest pet peeve I’ve ever had with Conway/XPO. Don’t tell new employees that they will only be on linehaul for a week or two. We lost three guys all the same time to FedEx because the manager would not Put them on the city operation. First guy left and called the second two guys. Don’t be a dinosaur change the way you do things.

Was lied to in my interview back in the Con-Way days. Was never told I could be forced out on LH or vs versa. We lost new guys to FedEx. We were bring them in at 11am or later. They went to FedEx and the latest they start is 9am.
It took some buy Con-Way to kill the dinosaur. When I came here they still thought it was the 90s and there sh1t didn't stink. For years other LTLs were investing in dockworkers. Mean time FedEx was getting 95% of there city operation out by 9am. Hell at my place over 50% of the driver start at or after 9am
