Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Aren't they affiliated with Averett?

 

personally, I think they've over hired for the upcoming slow season and their freight projections can't support keeping this number of drivers and they don't just lay people off because that cost them in the form of unemployment insurance. It's just easier to do it this way so a certain percentage of drivers quit. Since the trucks are paid for the day they are delivered, having it sit there empty and not burning fuel is cheaper than having a driver sitting in a truckstop burning fuel waiting on a load.

 

Yeah, and we used to have a load select system so we could choose where and how hard we ran to control our own performance level, but this isn't that company anymore. Now it's an adult daycare for dementia patients who have to be reminded how to do everything except breathe and wipe ourselves (at least that's the way it feels based on how senior management does things).

 

I used to say breathe and walk, but both of our senior management members have reminded us how to walk on their weekly YouTube propaganda videos.
