Hurricane Issac- is Conway TL putting freight over Driver Safety?

NW 79th ST/E 25th ST and NW 37th AVE on the corner for cafe con leche and media noche.
The peelot and Medley has decent sammiches as well from either vendor.

 

Paul, the company always leaves shutting down up to the driver, we all got the same QC message monday I think. It still applies on Tuesday and everyday.

I have shut down for fog, wind, snow, ice, tornadoes. They never argue and there is never a service failure. Make sure your buddy knows this. By the way, snow chains are only for getting to a safe place, not to deliver the load.

So, to answer the original question, freight never comes before safety. It seems the storm moved slower, they might not have been aware, and it is up to the driver to make the decision. I went through on Thursday on I 20 and it was ugly but not requiring a shut down and it seemed the worst of the weather was still to the south.

I had the ability to choose I 20 over I 10. But if it was really bad, I would have shut down. The key is to communicate with ops.

 

A team that I know personally had to go through that area and Con-Way allowed them to reroute to avoid any potential problems with the storm. That's all I know about it.

 

You asked the question. The answer is no, they never put freight over driver safety.

 

Ah, we get to the bottom of it...the dispatch eliminates layover pay if I am not mistaken. If I am, then the dispatch is simply to cover the load. Shut down rules still apply. Always driver decision.

 

Just gonna add this most compys where not sendin trucks that way. I thought I was gonna get stuck in it but I didn't. If I was sure I was going to I wouldn't care about elogs I would drive to a safe heaven lol.
