Has anyone seen any management cut at their location as of yet?
Safe to say no, bloated management in small end of line terminals continues.
I stopped by our terminal about 2 weeks ago, 6 drivers on the street and 4 mangers in the office. One was on the dock talking on the phone, one was on You-tube watching hunting videos, and the SCM was talking to me. The OSD clerk was in a back office, I have no idea what they were doing. This went on for about the hour I was there.
During my conversation I asked why the OB supe. was here in the middle of the afternoon, "He needs the money" was the answer. Ya can't make this
up.
I guess the honeymoon is over and back to horse whipping your best people to go, go go.
If I recall correctly, TFI was "disgusted" by the shape of our fleet at purchase time. While I understand new equipment is difficult to obtain now, the hold lines at the hubs are overflowing with tractors awaiting parts. Cost vs. safety is never a good idea.
A few senior management positions are becoming open in the near future. That tells everything, UPGF retreads or a new direction. Time will tell.
When the best and the safest drivers beat down the door to get out it is never good.
Be safe brothers and sisters............
