A little off subject I went by the xpo terminal in Wilkes Barre Pa. just to see if they changed anything over yet, and it was still the same. I thought they would have put a temporary sign over the one that still says Conway and for the driver its still the same uniform including the Conway hat....

What they told us was that pay and benefits would remain unchanged for a year. They said nothing of policies or practices.

Unfortunately it's going to be a while until everything rolls out and everyone is on board. It's a big company.
ot was explained by both our TM and HR person several times in the last few years.. Our dock workers sit almost every day and drivers with no run at least get the dockwork.
Start time is allowed to be moved an hour to account for freight levels, they are suppose to call you three hours before your shift if they want to push it back more than that. It's clear that not many FOS follow or give two ***** about the dsr's... And that's wrong.
As for actual policy, we in Canada have no and never have had access to the policy and procedure manual. So we go by federal law.
I thought by now I would see a rebranded trailer passing through with a road driver?

We ain't got laws like that here.
We have similar practices/policies? here as far as bid start times.ot was explained by both our TM and HR person several times in the last few years.. Our dock workers sit almost every day and drivers with no run at least get the dockwork.

I guess what I was searching for is what level the decisions fall on: supervisors , managers , regional , VP or corporate? And operations or HR. When it's something like this , in my area it's a hot potato and if you ask a pointed question you're told that you need to talk to someone else. Pass the buck.
That page is from the old company. XPO may keep the same policy, but until I see something with an updated heading without the Con-Way name, I will take everything with a grain of salt.The only thing I see regarding this is this,
It wont matter, everything they say or do is always subject to change, that's managments way of saying I changed my mind!
The policy is in effect until told otherwise. If 9lives is not a troll he is getting screwed and needs to do something about it. I would be throwing a fit to get my hours, calling any and everyone. Drivers are more valuable than dockworkers and need to eat first.

His struggle is real. It's not just where he is.
A lot of rumors going around that many of the leased terminals will be closed.
A lot of scared people. Just got bought and it's a bad economic cycle.
A lot of concern. No answers. Makes for paranoia.
We will all see soon enough.

Not a dream of mine actually. I've got 23+ years in with the IBT. Just concerned about those guys and how their seniority is being trampled. Fact: a contract would fix that issue.
Fact, at my barn seniority is honored. Fact, there are issues here and there at some barns. Fact, we have almost 300 terminals in our system and I would bet you at most, seniority is honored. There is no way no how we will join the teamsters now that the mess that is your pension is out in the open. I was for orginizing and now am completely against. The teamsters have nothing to offer us at this time.

You guys keep telling us about what you can get with a union, but when I read your thread all I see is what you have lost.

It's a new company. Things are going to change. Drivers are going to drive more. I still look forward to seeing how this all plays out.

Rad and highspeeds, it's a free country, and you can choose whatever path you desire in life. I chose the Union route for numerous reasons, and have been rarely disappointed. As for my pension, I'm in the Western Conference, and have suffered no such cuts. But, I do feel sorry for the ones that have. It's not all gloom and doom.
Its good that your pension is in good shape. I feel bad for the drivers in Central States. Its not right what has happend to them. Its kind of like what happend to our pension. Gutted, gutless, and good for nothing now. People that have worked hard their whole life don't deserve that. My father was a union man and retired with a good pension. The main reason I was pro union during this last drive was the promise of a pension so that I could retire with dignity like my father did. I still plan on retiring some day but its going to be alot harder and require alot of saving.
