Please everyone let us know how bad the cuts are at your terminals as soon as you know. I haven't heard of anything at mine yet but I am sure they are coming. Good luck to everyone!
I'm not trying to be smart legshot but what is a revolving lay-off? I've never heard that....and by the way your avatar cracks me up every time I see it...
CALL IN??? First I've heard of this,but everyone knows estes policy is stamped on rubber sheetsRevolving Layoffs.... The P&D drivers have to call in two days a month according to the schedule. If it's slow, stay home. Usually there is a peddle to do though.

Well, here is how I see it... It seems like terminal to terminal discretion on how to ease back on hours. Remember, it's all in the numbers. If you are down on a bill count from the year prior, in that month, the hours have to match up. Same hours, with less bills = layoffs. If you layoff guys while things are slow during a hiring freeze, it may be like pulling teeth to get them replaced when things get busy again.
So my TM seems to be pulling this off very wisely, instead of a dummy who has a knee jerk reaction, and says, you four, beat it, your fired. Plus, we have a good crew, and he actually likes and respects us, and we work well together.
I know, it seems out of the norm for a lot of you Estes bashers, but here in the northeast, I have always been lucky to have the right people in charge, at the right times. That's why I've been here for ten years.
Leg shot I agree with you. The only thing is there is no layoffs going around RIFs are what is going on. We are ok and did not loose anyone on linehaul. I do not know if this is the way it is going on in the east but out here in the red headed step brother part we are doing RIFs. And from what I am told it is pretty much done and over company wide. I am not saying some terminals are not going to have to catch up or cut some they tried to hang on to.
