ABF | Operating ration 90.2% Second Quarter 2021

[Trippleswest]

Wow a 90.2 O.R. I haven't seen that sense the late 80"s early 90's. Back then it was common to see O.R.'s in the low 90's, I recall once or twice seeing an O.R. in the high 80's.

I hope that in 6 month's I'm reading that your getting a 3% bonus, that will be a WIN-WIN
for everyone involved.

I have to agree with the steward, when they put this article in the contract, I thought it was
a waste of ink on paper. I must say I'm glad I was wrong on this one, cause didn't you get a bonus a year or two ago? Keep up the good work .

I thought the same thing. We will never see a bonus. I missed my guess.

I bet they are already plotting the next contract out....saying "let's change that to an 85"....lmao

Actually, we have received a 1% OR bonus the last two years in a row. We had a 95.2 OR for 2019 and a 95.3 OR for 2020.

All that bonus money and you couldn't spring for dentures for you cousin.....WOW...

We prefer the "Natural" look in these parts. After all, this is the "Natural" state. Besides, I could not afford dentures for her after paying for the glass eye for the other cousin. Even with my "Large Benefits Package" as mentioned on another forum, I just didn't have enough money to pay for both. LOL!!!

Anything ever said about a J B Hunt driver is gospel.

I will bite. What did they say about the JB Hunt driver? von.

Hunt driver tells dispatch he has been delayed for an hour @ a R x R crossing. Dispatch says just how long is the train. Driver says, 'I don't know, it hasn't arrived yet. von.

I guess him being out of fuel is the only way BRG can catch a 62 mph Hunt driver....lol

Did you offer to sell him extra mirrors??

 

[RonnieJames]

This really is great, unfortunately, lots of the older guys are retiring and the new hires could care less about longevity. Only a small percentage of 45-55 year-ish old work force will remain if this company doesn’t start paying out some real cash. My 2¢

 

[BIG R GUY]

These guys told police, no one trained us on how to use mirrors..

I thought he was filling the fuel tank with water.

I drove by an electronic bill board that said a company was paying a $15,000 hiring bonus. Now when ever I drive by the sign it is lit up with a different Advertisement. I think the company was McLane but not sure.
With all of the $5,000 to $10,000 bonuses out there they really need this to be a retention bonus of more than 3%......

When Dean Foods filed for bankruptcy, the dairy close by, offered the drivers a couple of grand( I don't remember the exact amounts) to agree to stay. You could sign for a one or two year agreement.
