Anyone watch Office Space? Right now it feels like that birthday scene where Milton gets screwed out of the last piece of office cake while inside a skeleton crew room cause everyone got laid off.
Took a paid day off to celebrate my birthday in the AM of the 9th. Dispatcher was on the way out with his usual cheerful smile. ",Hey ya R/R. Happy early bday. You taking your fam out anywhere fancy to eat?". Took me a second to mentally browse through all the cool places I had lined up before I went "mother....trucker"...
Loud chuckle before I heard Happy Birthday as he left.
This is a union thing. But they put up the bids twice a year for all of us to sign on to. They took down the bids before the rest of us got a chance to sign on. It's the equivalent of someone tearing down your work schedule cause they plan on laying off a bunch of people.
Yeah, I am Milton and I got my cake. But things just got real. Bill count collapsed from 300-500 a night outbound to about 120 within two weeks.
Happy birthday to me. Send beer.misterG, Mike2633, jmz and 1 other person Thank this. -

Seeing people post on FB that FxF is starting furloughs, voluntary for now. These days I’m seeing 3-6 road trucks parked at night, so even if they need to get rid of 6 drivers I should still be ok.
Mike2633 Thanks this. -
We've had a couple driver self quarantine at home. That has helped.
Start times have been posted later in the day, to prevent us from being in so early.Mike2633 Thanks this. -
