Norma, PAM's driver liaison, retiring; job eliminated

I guess you haven't seen the billboard on I-30 westbound heading into Texas about hiring O/O and beening home weekly.

 

IMO it is because of his past business contacts he knows where a lot of team freight is. Right after he came on board there were a lot of qcom messages saying "we have an opportunity for new freight." It was mostly team stuff.

 

Pam would fold and go out of business before becoming stictly team driven, if it became all team driven no employee would have over a year experience, since they would all quit.

 

Nah, I was happy there. I left because I wanted to get out of the monotony of holding a steering wheel, and took up skateboardin'

 

More power to ya, if you like the whole sharing a prison cell with a stranger! I'm not implying that people who team quit, just saying if pam was a team driven company only. They would not be able to hire anyone with any experience to drive team with the low team wage that pam pays and the only employees pam would have would be nothing but fresh low paying team drivers! Lets see if you are still going strong after 6 months!

 

Apparently it works for the bigger companies but I think it's a bs way of doing business. Eventually when all these low paying newbies can't make delivery times or can't run all nite companies will lose those customers and then the next bfi company will get customer and cycle continues. Happened to a friend of mine had a contract with a decent ltl company and they couldn't deliver on time so he uses nothing but O/O now. So low paying newbies is not good for this industry, most don't have pride and care in what they do. (not saying u don't)
