An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

This may be the first time we've ever been called that...!

 

That’s a Riverside to Foley truck

 

Well week one of the new SPD was pretty rough for a lot of people. Last Friday 180 or so trucks were officially transferred to EWW. Monday morning most of the office staff was fired. The ones that are left all have a limited time left to finish off their areas basically. Eventually there will be 5 people in the office and that’s it. A few lucky ones got transferred to EWW, I know at least one of the fleet managers and our recruiter transferred.

California yard is closing, Wichita and the Wichita mechanic is transferring to EWW. We will still base the wing division out of that yard, but they fired our permit agent who was really starting to figure everything out.

I’m hopeful, but not very optimistic for the future of SPD. We have a lot stacked against us but the majority of the drivers left are all very experienced and have been here awhile. I’m sure going to miss hauling elevators though./s

 

I "UNthank" this post. Hopefully things stay good for you. You've done really good for yourself there.

 

Unfortunately the writing is on the wall..I’m betting before ‘26 is over they Will finish spd off unfortunately

 

I figure by the middle of the year we'll be in the same position. Every time I stop at the yard in FTW, there is fewer people i know in the office.
