    I requested to fill one out of 2 local P&D driver positions that have remained vacant for the past 2 years. A third one is opening due to another driver moving out of state. Piece of cake I thought... we always needed extra people to help cover the extra bills each driver had to carry.

    "When can I start?"

    -- As soon as you are trained!

    "When can I train?"

    -- Errr... Good question. They are talking about keeping you on line until they can find someone to replace you

    Judging by the lack of available drivers, waiting for a replacement could take awhile. I just applied to switch over to FxF. Wish me luck.

    Well OK, good luck with FxF. Do you suppose your outfit will release you to them until they find a replacement driver?

    RR, "I'm quitting." COMPANY, "You CAN'T quit until we find a replacement for you. Get back to work!"

    Awe my little brother just gotten woken up. ( 4 hours notification from dispatch to report at terminal 9:30a )
    I start at 3:30p working the dock. Did I mention I hate working the dock and others in the office know it ? The more complain about dock work, more I get it, Don't mind P/D, but working the terminal just clicks and don't mind doing the late P/U because other issues. Know my cover will be blown when my brother goes out and blabs his mouth to drivers 12 hours a day lol



    LOUD and PROUD ( not that gay ) I love working the dock ( no, not the lizard way )


    MoDs: for clarification GAY = happy
