    ive has that argument in the past. It must be a control thing..
    The regs are pretty clear, any movement that does not benefit the carrier is clear use of PC..

    This is probably why they can’t stand it, regardless of if being legal. :lol:

    Well, after discussing further with management, it has something to do with the comments I put down for the reason for PC. I also explained that I am very careful to only use PC when I have no trip or trailer information entered on my ELD...so I am clearly 'not laden' or even connected to the load.

    When I spoke to the 1st person about the PC this afternoon, I mentioned something about this being part of the reason so many drivers have left. He said that he wasn't aware of that many drivers leaving...but strangely enough, the HR v/p sent out a company wide email this afternoon about recruiting new drivers, and that they hold orientation EVERY WEEK...so, either he is out of the loop as far as the turnover rate, or...he was not being truthful about the number of drivers leaving. I know we aren't expanding the fleet that much every week.

    I also spoke to a friend today that recently left Wy-Moore for much greener pastures. He said he saw a Central Oregon truck pulling a trailer with no COTC logo, just a full sized Daseke logo...as if they are starting to merge us all together under one company name. At least that's the only explanation I can come up with.

    I'm wondering myself what unemployment cost
    A company.
    With Uncle Sam ready to cut everybody a 600
    Dollar a week check for unemployment for 4 months.
    Why don't more of these companies just furlough
    Half their drivers, instead of having them sit somewhere
    Waiting for a load that's never gonna come.

    And if it does, your losing money by pulling it.
    This thing is not gonna flip back to normal anytime soon.

    Just send out a fleetwide message asking for
    Voluntary layoffs. Tell them you won't dispute the unemployment, And let them go.
    I don't see what's so hard about that.
     
    TokyoJoe and dwells40 Thank this.

    You lose your insurance if they furlough you.

    Part of the stimulus bill is that it doesn't cost companies anything when employees file

    Daseke put out a press release that they are intending to combine even more companies together.
    Btw, if you are ever at the central Oregon yard, they have a hotel for you to use free of charge and a cook that will make you what you like..

    Thanks, but I doubt I am ever out that way. In fact, this whole experience has only increased my desire to rid myself of not only this communist cesspool of a company, but get as far away from Daseke as possible.(and I call it a communist cesspool because and unamed source has informed me that they employ people who's soul purpose is to track down the identity of malcontents like me on the internet...how insecure can a company be that they have to spend money on tracking down people who have a negative opinion of them, and do who knows what, rather than fixing the issue that person has...sorta like how the communist nations of the middle and far east censor the internet their population has access to)
