I join the list of other like Highspeed and drop my keys and badge on the SCM desk. This was the song I was singing as I walked out. So Long, Farewell from the movie Sound of Music.
"So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave a sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye!
I´m glad to go, I cannot tell a lie"
This place is nothing but wash, rinse and repeat. they can hire lots top manger from OD but if they don't fix there lower level mangers this place will never change.
After 30+ yrs as a truck driver I'm hanging up my trucker hat, keys, and log book.
To all you out there think about leaving there are better companies and jobs out there, you just have go find them. All that left my SIC have less stress, better work life balance, and are just happier over all.
I still poke my head in to see if this dumpster fire is still burning bright.
Keep it between the lines.

Best of luck with your future endeavors!
 
Good luck on your future endeavor. I am honestly sadden to see you go. I know we had more differences than agreements on our approach to solving the problems that drivers have with Xpo but you were consistent in yours beliefs. I respect that. I do believe Xpo lost an asset in your leaving.

Nope, we even have guys give 2 weeks and not get one. I did get a list of emails of top brass, including the new guy and will send them my exit interview. If they read it or not it's up to them. Just waiting till I get everything they owe me first

Labor(drivers) are completely disposable to them. If they run out of them they will lower their standards even more to find candidates. They are 100% behind allowing driver at 18 years old . That could turn out to be their route. In the meantime in house schools are filling the void . The inexperienced are more gullible to poor working conditions. This is why they are moving towards monitoring every aspect of your work day. From the dock to the cab your performance is being gauged.
