IdleAire trucking services company files for bankruptcy

Very interesting.
Thanx Cybergal.

Especially the last sentence -- about the
Bonus Incentive Program for 22 senior executives.
At $505,000, if divvied up equally betwixt them,
would come to a cool $22,954.55.
Not too shabby for failing to turn a profit.
Ya reckon.

 

I just overheard an employee of Idleaire at the Earle, AR TA say that employee hours have been cut way down, with some employees only getting one shift per week.

Also, according to a posting made by an Idleaire employee on Knoxnews.com, some sites have reduced employee site reps down to just one per shift. So again, is this part of their restructuring plan or is there more cuts to come?

 

Next thang, I think you'll see is Idleaire
folks reportin' for work
belly UP.

After that, I expect to see a sign readin'
Gone Fishin'.

 

According to this article, http://truckinginfo.com/news/news-detail.asp?news_id=60517, there are three different new competing companies waiting to fill the void if Idleaire liquidates. You can see the pictures for two of the systems in this article, Cabaire and Airedock. The third company, Shorepower, my favorite, is strictly cable TV and 110V power outlets. You can go to Shorepower.com to look at their system.

Since I already have a ComfortPro system installed as well as a shore power connection, all I need is an extension cord to plug in. When I talked to Joe Licari with Shorepower back in December of last year, he said they were planning on charging .75 cents an hour for 110V power only and $1.00 for 110V plus cable tv.

What do you think of these systems?

 

I am formally a employee of IdleAire and I am very td off so I came here to vent and let some of you know a few things I know. Anyone interested in why IA employees right down truck names and #'s all day and night ???

 

why do they ?

 

Because they send all of the truck compant names and truck # to the individual companys to cause the companies to pd off at their drivers for idleing

 

It is a stanard rule to write down every sigle truck in the lot that is on the IA hit list to try to get the companies to force their drivers to hook up to the IA

 

Be very careful of new names Park N View IdleAire Shore Power take a good look at where the $ is coming from.
