Yesterday, Greensboro let 4 local drivers go. Also, some from upstairs. Moving others around. Very scary.....Things are slow, but why at Christmas? What's next? Has this ever happened before?
Were they layed off or fired?roaddog1 said:Yesterday, Greensboro let 4 local drivers go. Also, some from upstairs. Moving others around. Very scary.....Things are slow, but why at Christmas? What's next? Has this ever happened before?
They say they were laid off, but other sources say it's a done deal. One driver asked if he came back would it be at the same pay, and they told him he would be back at one year rate. His reply: Why would I want to come back for that?
Yes, they go by seniority. Low man 1st 2 go.
JimBob are them JCY loads still called gangster loads???Nope,this is the first time.Some cut loose in JCY too.

was told today that driver helpers for manhattan were laid off in jcy.also office people.now my question is all these rookies that came out of od driving school,do they stay and someone hired off the street goes? i would think being that much $ was invested in them that if they lay them off before a year that they are scott free and od wouldnt want to **** away there investment.
Well I was one of the ones let go.
1st thing..I was told it was terminated due to lack or work. I got between 45-50 hrs last week so much for lack of work. I even told time I would go to 30 hrs a week just to pay the bills but that was not enough.
2nd thing..I think 3 went to dock and the next day when I went in to get my check 2 came by me driving out on P&D trips.
3rd thing..I was also told that 10 would have to go. 3 or so are already out for injury or what ever (one is over seas military resurve) 3 went to dock and 4 were laid off.
I was told that after a point we would be at 1 year rates and after some asking around its a month (from corprate). However my concern is ill be back to ground 0 again starting fresh in seniority...ill still have 2+ years but in P&D ill be new. Also they said they will not be calling me I would have to call them and keep on them.
Well hart and I might have a new position...well he already does and I might if they can get it lined up.
However I asked my big boss (former) for a letter on company letterhead saying just why I was let go so future employes could see fast and from OD that my leaving was not my fault. I was told it was not company policy to do that but to put him down as a refrence.
