    If yearly bonus don’t show next week Im sure there will be massive uproar and lots of angry drivers quitting. I still haven’t got my 1 cent longevity raise and my terminal manager supposedly put in for it while I was on the phone couple weeks ago.

    Here’s a bit of news I came across in my daily perusing of various news outlets. They had the auction this week of Yellow Freights terminals. The big winner was Estes who ponied up $884 million dollars for a boatload of the terminals. The list went on with all the various LTL companies getting their hands on terminals. On the list? Knight/Swift Holdings who bought 13 terminals for $51.8 million dollars. Now I know where the bonus money went. Back in October, It was announced by said corporation that the top executives at this corporation were taking a 20% pay cut due to the declining freight market. A little research and I find out David Jackson, the head honcho who is the lip service for the round table folks back in Phoenix, went from $850K per year down to $680K per year. I just hope with his pay cut, he’s able to keep a roof over his head and food on the table.

    Ya'll should probably consider starting a GoFundMe Page for Mr. Jackson to help him through these trying times

    The poor Fella was grossing $16,346/week and his Income has taken a hit of $3270 a week to only $13,076 now, how will Mr Jackson and his Family get by?

    Please do all U can to help Mr Jackson and Family get through the Holidays, Ur help would be greatly appreciated

    So if you get this bonus does that mean that all of their drivers in all of their companies get it too? That is a lot of drivers....

    By the looks of some of the pics of smashed up equipment that John sends from time to time they probably don’t all get the bonus. Lol

    Be happy you have a chance to get one. Leonard’s told us pay raise freeze, and no bonus this year.

    I use to think that every subsidiary was on their own, but now everything done comes from the Knights at the round table in Phoenix.

    But of course, those of us that don’t break anything, get screwed because of the ones that can’t even leave the Richmond yard without hitting anything.

    I’m thinking it will be here. Our monthly mileage/safety bonus is here every month. As long as you fit into all the parameters. But, who knows.
