Between Portland and Sea over the past two days, very little other LTL running the corridor. Seems like more OD than other. Last night saw 2 local guys, 2 Estes, 3 Saia and 2 R&l. Actually saw about 6 Reddaway and only 2 YRC. not good for anyone up here it looks like.

Me too... I forgot to mention we left Monday morning at 7 so that's one horribly short week and let's be honest winter out here in the west was horrible I've spent way too many days at home
If you can drive a zero turn, Billy says, you have a good chance of being layed off, he needs mower drivers.

X OD Driver said that he was told he was not needed anymore.So that's how it goes.Hate it for all that have been let go.
Are the "let go" guys being terminated by company seniority time ? Bottom on up company seniority or just picking random people ?
I didn’t want to respond to to last post (I’m union) but that would be the worst if they picked and choose....

Very Aware. Just answering to Situation that is going on at this time.
You are correct on this Lawnboy. Have a couple friends that work here for OD, and they said the same thing. It’s not seniority, but how productive, and non disruptive you are in determining who gets whacked first...

That's any non-union trucking company.... I've worked for.
I guess OD is turning into Saia LTL, make the rules as they go.

I’ve been here almost a decade...not the same place now as when I started. Looks like it’s headed south, to the sewer! If I got laid off over someone that’s been here 2 years, there would be some .
