The whole industry will have or would have had reduced capacity if the railroads went on strike which would have benefited all trucking including OD . It’s a moot point now tho…Od don’t take on temporary customers.
Very little to Od,, you are wrongThe whole industry will have or would have had reduced capacity if the railroads went on strike which would have benefited all trucking including OD . It’s a moot point now tho…
Not the same.Be no affect to OD since we rail very few or none now.Yeah just like the ups strike had no affect on LTL..
Old Dominion needs a Union Contract!What happened to the time you had already worked before getting laid off? Was all the time that counts towards earning vacation time taken away? As an example, if someone had worked let’s say two full years and was eligible for two weeks vacation that he/she used and was then laid off for a year or so, when they were brought back from layoff, do they lose that earned time before the lay off to count towards the next progression (two weeks eligibility to three weeks eligibility)?
In other words, when coming back from lay off as a new employee, does the vacation progression schedule start over as if you had never worked at the company?
If so, that sucks big time!!!
Late reply, but I wouldn't move anywhere at this point. At least you have SOME tenure where you're at.
At any rate, where could you go in LtL and improve your situation? Every LtL is in the same position.
Hiring on now on the cusp of a accepted recession would be a crapshoot.
If we go to war with Russia get ready to run in convoys with armed escorts!Can't live scared. This recession will dump at least one of the big players and then the rest will have to haul the freight. Will it be YRC ? Doubt it. They always find a way. But you never know. Maybe XPO LTL ? Or what ever happens to the old Con-way. Maybe they get bought up by Central Transport ? What ever. Recession brings consolidation. And drivers will always follow the freight.

I think we can all expect tforce to fall and no one will notice a difference in freight.Can't live scared.

I'm in socal also, overhiring hurt us bad. Knee-jerk reaction after furloughs in 2020. Stick around, guys will filter out and you will be alright, sooner rather than later hopefullyI've been with the company 10 months now. Some weeks I get 4 runs in, others I get 3 runs, rarely get a full week worth of work in. I run wild board linehaul in Southern California. Anyone that's been with the company for a while able to speak some words of wisdom to me.
Having an assigned run one day is so appealing to me. I like driving nights, drop and hook work, longer one trip and done. In time this would be my perfect job I could see my self retiring here.
Yet I worry about being laid off or financially ruining my self hoping things get better.
