Looks like a good day or two to shut down midwest/northeast terminals. Wind chill is dangerous out there!
Did someone REALLY think dock doors/aprons weren't necessary?

 

[Zipper]

Stay home boys "stay safe ", maybe Wednesday.

Well looks like freight gonna be backing up in the Midwest and when things reopen we gonna get slammed in the east and west Yea overtime coming lol !! Positivity Money Beerd my in my Pocket thanks to the Snowman :) !!!!

Why would things be backed up? If there was no city operation and alot of customers closed, its no different than a 3 day weekend.

Well, most of the country was still operating, and picking up freight going your way. All that freight sits and then has to move with todays and/or tomorrow's freight. They'll use this weather occurance as an excuse for any delays.

11 hours on the patio in super freezing weather?!? Hells no!!! Young and in shape or not there's no excuse for supervisors to let/make you work that long in that cold of weather. Doing that **** makes an old man out of anyone fast!

He forgot to mention that con-way realized the dock was cold, and provided those gas fired heaters, and the FOS's were running coffee to the DSR's and ensuring that they were keeping warm. They were also allowed breaks to go the break room to get warmed up!
