Seen on another board Hou laid off some line drivers last week cuz we ain’t got much work, what’s it like in other parts of the country?
And since when has common sense and fair play been available..It disappeared with reason a while ago. We now live in the world of entitlement don't you know.Its not too bad up here at Billy's terminal for Linehaul. Guys staying somewhat busy on the wild board. When we do have guys sit a day a week, its messed up when you see a city guy going to Boise every weekend as if its his scheduled run. His normal city route then over 1000 miles on weekends, and the wild board isn't even offered it. If they are going to use him, send him on the shorter turn and offer the long run to wild linehaul, after all its their job

I didn't know that we laid off I thought we just fired guys if we didn't need themSeen on another board Hou laid off some line drivers last week cuz we ain’t got much work, what’s it like in other parts of the country?
Could some of that be due to the flooding?It's a little slow in the midwest but not terrible. They haven't asked for the scheduled drivers to volunteer a night off for the extra board which they've done in the past. We can still run our 6th day most weekends.
Uh, wonder what they’re waiting on?I didn't know that we laid off I thought we just fired guys if we didn't need them
Too much turmoil in Washington is my guess for the roller coaster ride. We have a small window this year to have a good year. Anyone that’s been in freight knows what election years bring...slow times. So we have a few months to try and sustain what we have, and come this winter we will be in for a years worth of slow times. Wonder what will happen to all these new people?It's hard to come off of a year like last year and not have too many people. It's a shame, but a reality.

I’m sure all the newer employees can get good trucking jobs. I hope they don’t continue to starve us all vs layoffsI was told OD hires 25% more drivers then they need. I also agree with a lay-off. I’ve been here 7 years and only worked 4 1/2 days in the last two week.

OD must hire extra in Atl. in case "Panama Hat" drivers mark off when the weatherman calls for a snowflake.
Song will vouch for that.
