    the way communications goes around here im surprised they told you anything lol, but I haven't heard anything, especially today since its sunday. i dont think local drivers are going away everywhere, because I got called by the FM in charge of denver and he is calling people because he has a spot open and they are looking for a local, so not sure where your FM is talking about. things just seem to be changing so fast around here, the past 2 months have been like night and day from when i first started... hope things don't keep changing for you guys, good luck!

    I called my recruiter and asked him about this. Sounds like they are converting local drivers to committed runs. He also mentioned they have 17 open staff positions through out the company, so not sure where the "freeze" is......
     
    mje Thanks this.

    Well, they phased out local drivers at Knight, where did your CEO cut his management teeth? Oh yeah that was Knight.
