Bunny at Celadon!!!!

well, what happened, should be some good reading. These companies are all the same, same circus different clowns LOL. Find a smaller company where ya live, works a lot better

 

Maybe if you would have listened you would still have a job. I know that you dont care what I think, and that is obvious from the fact that you are now on the outside and looking in. I have been the Celadon route, I DO know what I was and still am talking about. Plus, I live in Indianapolis(home of Celadon)and they still have the same crummy reputation in this city that they did when I first told you. I dont have problems staying out of "your" blog, but like I said--"I told you so". You can try to explain yourself all you want to, but facts are they asked you to quit or be fired for a reason. You can justify or try to justify that fact all you want to, but you screwed yourself, and nobody did it for you. If you were really "all that" like you think you are, you would not have been asked to resign now would you have? BTW, if you dont like people making comments on "your" blog, then quit writing it and go someplace else more private. If you notice I had not even logged in here in like a year. I think "your" blog deserved a comment,if you dont like it--well too #### bad!

 

Also BTW, Celadon does have Dedicated lanes for at least 3 companies under Celadon Dedicated Contract Services-Chrysler, WalMart, and Target. So yes they do have dedicated lanes, not everything is Regional. And just in case you dont beleive me, you may want to tell them to quit advertising that fact. Oh yah, I forgot-they asked you to quit. My bad.

 

All throughout my 22 years of driving I've heard good and bad about Celadon. At my first driving job we were just 1 mile from their old terminal on south Harding street. Several of our mechanics used to work for them so I trusted their word. Now their terminal in Indy is about 5 minutes from my house and I have given them consideration because irregardless of what many say a job is what you make of it. And I like working somewhere where I don't have to park the truck at my house. Did that when I drove dump truck and did damage to the driveway. Sorry about the way things ended for you bunny but GOD never closes one door without opening another. Best Wishes to you.

 

I use to run for Celadon and I loved it for the longest time, I see you did not join up till after 08 so you did not know the company when it was really a good one, they have fallen down hill some but I hope not to the bottom totally. They lost some good people who stood up for the drivers and when they went the drivers were not treated so well and I had to say good bye. I am glad you happy there and hope you stay that way..If not look on down the road girl I have found myself happy too.

 

The only problem I had at Celadon was being out 4 to 5 weeks at a time and doing only 1800 miles a week. Then having to sit 2 or 3 days while the load people Could get organized.

 

..resign or be fired? I think I would resign "under protest" if it wasn't warranted.. u haven't told us their reason yet but I have an idea it was about your "can't please every customer" comment that might have been an ongoing issue with them, plus ur previous comment about "alot of screaming from me when i get upset" to ur DM might have also added to their decision.. I'm just guessing on those two issues but I wouldn't be surprised if they both were determining factors in their decision to let u go.. anyway at least you were upfront & being honest here to admit they were letting u go; just another life experience that u hopefully will learn from & move on with your life.. good luck with whatever u decide to do next...

 

Over a year and a half !!!!!!!!!!!

I'm impressed, most folks last about 3-12 months on this forum.

Glad you are doing well !!!
