I cannot believe this shiz. Winter storm crippling the whole east coast and I cannot get any information on what is going on with what is closed at 5PM. Nobody at the terminal is saying nothing. What is wrong with these people?

I don't know how long it will take you to realize this but that's how it been for the last 8 years or so. They used to tell us if things was changing but at some point it was decided that we don't need to know until they actually tell us
 
Here are the closings.

Since the East Coast is not expected to see any snow until the morning, I would anticipate that everyone will be open.

In the old Conway days they didn't care in the least about us drivers. "Get your chains on and get out there," was the standing order of the day come he** or high water, ice or blinding snow,(the only way one could stand down was if the state closed the roads). And after D.S.'s daughter got killed in a needless accident, CNW did a 180 on their winter driving policy and became all safety minded. What's going on w/ them not making an early decision to notify you concerning this current blizzard...you got me on this one. Probably all the grey shirts involved in making the call on this are scared to pull the trigger too early and put their jobs, that are already on thin ice, on really thin ice.
 
It really doesn't make good business sense to run into a eminent storm .Putting life's at risk , expensive equipment , wrecker bills , and drivers CSA safety score. Sometimes you just cannot go.

so that explains why we had an early friday night at reship! 4 pups for our day crew on monday thats it
 
Our Friday morning pre-shift meeting they told us that 2 FACs we run to were closed and asked for volunteers to run weekend linehaul. They told us if more close, they would let us know.
 
Well the good thing about this storm is at least XPO will be playing catch up with the freight i SHOULDN'T be sitting because i wont have a line haul run this week..

The corporate party line was "proceed with caution".
 
I have to shake my head at the super truckers, pissed of because they are stuck on the road or at the truck stop. It's not like you didn't know this was coming....

Their thinking UN has to be something along these lines... "I Can't let a little snow slow me down on my way to making a decent buck."
 
just gotta put you foot down and say "i'm not coming in" they'll say we'll write you up! then say "so do it". they won't fire you and they'll get over it
