And it's into week one correct? Lets see how that floats down Love Canal! I wonder what the odds are in Vegas on that lasting and what the spread is? LOL

Now as to this thread.... I'd jump now and not take a chance that it will come out peachy keen! Staying on is like wondering if a lead balloon will float on water.

 

Just a FYI....seen a AAX truck headed north through Polk City Fl this morning. I guess they are getting out of Lakeland.

 

Good for you for sticking it out with your company. If they didn't want the company to survive they would have filed chapter 7 and liquidated the company rather than chapter 11 to reorganize. All too often the rats will abandon ship and make things even more difficult. Some of the largest corporations in this country have filed bankruptcy and survived. Penny's, GM, Chrysler, Boeing, etc., It is not a pleasant way for a company to go but it enables them to renegotiate payments, interest rates, etc., If all creditors were willing to work with a debtor it might not be necessary. Often when a company or individual gets into trouble creditors increase interest rates and escalates payments which makes it even more difficult to repay them. It is very stupid of the creditors, but that is what has happened in the consumer markets the last couple of years, driving more people into bankruptcy. Lewis wants to save his company and this may be the only way that he can get some breathing room to save it. By filing bankruptcy, he may even be able to get some of the repossessed equipment back. This is a time for employees to work with the company for the benefit of all rather than throwing the owner or company under the bus.

 

I'm not trying to insinuate anything. Was just providing some input to show that they are still up and running. AAX's routes sound like a dream and would be just what I'm looking for had I not found the job I have now. I hope they pull it off.

 

Hate to disappoint the naysayers Go back and read your own posts at the start of the thread .

For example " I met the guy in charge of maintenance and he was nice and sincere but I was left with a lot of questions and items about the truck I was assigned were dismissed (broken front fairing from a deer strike was left for me to duct tape back together)"

Lot of posters offered ADVICE no more no less , so good luck hope it all works out.

 

Whatever !

 

As soon as I can afford to get out the truck and transition to another job, I am quitting and have already had that discussion with one of the VPs.
AAX should absolutely be in the bottom of the barrel for anyone not ready to be underpaid and overworked and unless you live in Lakeland, not get any hometime, just a 34 hr restart every 2 weeks.


Bbmyls2go, You are stating here that you are leaving. What changed your mind?
