Coppell/Dallas: FedEx to lay off 900 employees

Our problem is we don’t have enough trucks to haul what the customers are asking us to haul… I’m taking every freaking advantage of it right now. I’m running right around 35,000 miles. A quarter

 

IDK how your company feels about PACCAR trucks but we have too d a m n many T-680s that we need to get rid of!lol
Usually for us from Halloween thru to the new year we’re kept busy. In fact,usually around late December into January my company usually will start sending me west of the Mississippi towards the West Coast.

 

According to the President of my company who myself and a few other drivers talk to in Lincoln couple weeks ago we’re turning down 200 loads a day because we can’t haul it

 

If that’s the case. Can we talk?

 

Even
some of the trades aren’t safe. GM just filed a WARN notice with the State of Michigan a few days ago. 1140 workers will be getting pink slips unfortunately.
Originally the layoffs were supposed to be temporary,but as of November 20th,they’ll be officially permanent!

That's the GM plant building a bunch of electric vehicles that nobody wants to buy. Ford wasted billions on that boondoggle too. Shouldn't be surprised they're closing that one down permanently.
