Ashley Furniture? Good company?

Congrats, my brothers there, now for 7 yrs==he loves it---more money!!! LOL A real 401k, stock purchase, better INS for the drivers, 6 on 3 off.

He has no complaints there at all

Every driving job is different, you'll make it work---

 

I sense someone a little twisted on that----LOL

 

Ya, I don't think it will be problem coming back, if you have too, you do not know how it will work out for ya, until you give it a try.

 

if those are your peoplenet numbers then you're closer to 7.7-7.8

the peoplenet is about .3 off on the low side. I keep my numbers actual fuel to the tank / mileage. my april number was avg 7.97 for the month. avg wt. has stayed pretty consistent just learned the sweet spot for the 670 and the 13 the more time I've been in it and gotten it up from when I was first in the truck. can't seem to get over 8 consistently though for a monthly.

ya think? lol oh the stories I could tell about what goes on in one of those DC's........which will remain only verbal if I see you and you ask......I probably still would bear some liability all these years later if I ever put in in print to leave a paper trail. the reason I left there 3 months short of being fully vested still seems a little out there and arrogant even for them but I was having no part of it.

even now years later I still go across town not to shop there and the wife is forbidden from shopping there when I'm home. if she shops there during the week I don't hear about it

 

Ya, those are the peoplenet numbers, who knows what the real numbers are, I also compare them with the dash numbers, which are also diff. So you are right I am sure.

I thought you were in a 780? and the 670 was a loaner?


Ya think----LOL I want to hear a few of those story's, next time I run into ya---It was bad for ya, I am sure, to leave just before you were vested, Working inside a box store type job is not for me, always been and outside person, I am sure if I was working in the same environment you were, I would be out that door also.

 

I was training supervisor at the DC in laurens, sc started as an orderfiller, then a lift driver and worked my way up into management. that place, as a company, is a real piece of work. started when mr sam was still alive and it was an entirely different company. literally changed overnight into something he never intended as the children fought each other for control over it and never was the same after that. I can remember the days when drivers, outside and inside were treated like gold and like valued partners. no bs lumpers scams and treating drivers like scum. that changed too almost from the day he died and the groundwork was laid for the driver unfriendly malwart we have today.

always been in a 670. advance doesn't get the 780's we only have the 670's and the kw's. the 670's were a failed experiment that was tried out at advance. if you notice there are no 12 series 670's and no 15 series 670's.......just the 13-14 series.......they aren't getting any more of them they have absolutely no resale value

 

When we had the drivers meeting here, we were told that even though the 5 670 Volvos we have here that only have 50-60,000 miles on them, they were also pulling out as soon as possible, and replacing them with the 780 again, but that has not happen yet.


The DC that my brother works out of, is a good one, they even have drivers that live in FL, fly back and fourth to that DC to work out of it, but he sent a picture of the inside of the CAB, and they just went to CAB cameras, and I am sure you know what there phone policy is now, so it is changing.
