A word from The Curb..... The Holland terminal in Akron just had a death from Covid and over 20 are out sick with it? They may have to shut the terminal down because of it? Any Holland Brothers or Sisters that can confirm this?
Yes, a city driver did die from the Akron terminal from COVID.Yes... I know a bid driver that passes through.... several in the office and quite a few drivers ..... I heard 18 were off.... and yes we're considering closing temporarily but have not so far..... also heard a driver has passed... I don't know the particulars or even if it's true..... my source is pretty reliable.
From what I was told... 37 or 47.... and was over weight....Yes, a city driver did die from the Akron terminal from COVID.
Mostly city drivers.... we have velocity drivers which are road drivers drive then work the dock and return to home terminal..... open board Drivers can drop freight at terminals on the way to their destination.At Holland freight, does driver load trailers ? Ups freight we did. Thanks David
So as a New guy to Holland.. I'd leave my home terminal, get to destination & work dock..then return to home terminal? I know recruiter said @ one point I'd be driving to say for instance, Memphis TN, lay down and then either to home terminal or to another terminal.. whats the Truth on new guy duties. ThanksM

Thanks, Appreciate the infoYou will be a open board driver..... till you get some seniority.... unless there is a undesirable bid that no one wants.... as a open board driver you will most likely just go from terminal to terminal.... very little dock work if any.
So tonight is my 1st night, we will be driving to a terminal ?Oh .... and most importantly we work on 6 day work weeks.... but it's usually just 5..... being on the bottom of the board expect to work 6 days for a while.... you will get a mentor that will explain most everything to you.
Usually if you go with a mentor the first week you do whatever bid the mentor is on. Probably a home every day bid? Every terminal and every mentor is different. Good Luck!So tonight is my 1st night, we will be driving to a terminal ?
Vaccine shots are free at any Walmart pharmacy. Anybody who wants the shot can get one free at virtually any pharmacy or urgent care.Maybe could set up free vaccine shots in the driver's room daily , for the safety of it's workers ?
Correct ,but idea was to make it more convenient for the driver's !Vaccine shots are free at any Walmart pharmacy. Anybody who wants the shot can get one free at virtually any pharmacy or urgent care.
Probably end up being a seniority issue. Can hear it now “ they should offer shots by seniority “Correct ,but idea was to make it more convenient for the driver's !

Not to mention the arguments and comments both for and against the vaccine. As charged up as this topic is online, can you imagine how bad it would be in person at work? Especially at the larger terminals.Maybe could set up free vaccine shots in the driver's room daily , for the safety of it's workers ?
Already bad at our barn, have a few real dandy’s with that topic. Worse than Roe v Wade discussion. Have a real work of art who goes off on GMO and all that also.Not to mention the arguments and comments both for and against the vaccine.
