They're showing a ptp position open out of Brandon/Tampa

@ASHLEYDRIVER2013 runs out of that yard. He can tell you about that location better than I can

 

When did that show up?

Just checked on Crigslist tampa, were they advertise, there is an ad for Ashley and Son's, did not see one for Ashley, as we know it---LOL

 

Today when I checked the open positions

 

Good luck to all of you hopefuls, but don't be too surprised if you are turned down, as happened to me last year. No reason given other than, more suitable candidate was chosen; yet they continued to advertise for drivers in my area. I had no problem with previous employment and had no problem getting hired elsewhere by a good company where I still am a driver. That was, of course, their prerogative, but must admit that it left me somewhat puzzled. Obviously, they are a terrific company for drivers and can afford to be very selective.

 

Everyone is still employed as I know it. Still at 5 PTP, they could be adding another, we just got a replacement for the one driver that transferred, The history of the warehouse here, suggest that there could be a few more, but they usually balance it out to almost equal PTP vs LTL, just a guess?

 

Maybe.

I know they need to keep better track of the number of trailers down there or find somewhere else for a drop spot.

When I was down there early in the week they had 5 more trailers there than were supposed to be there and I had to pull out an empty just to have somewhere to put my loaded one....then had to push it down to 1 minute left to park at Pepsi because there was nowhere for me to park there at the drop lot.

 

Ya I hear -ya, what is a little puzzling is also they say they keep qualified apps on file, so you would figure that out of the 100 apps per opening they get there should be at least a few apps that are good, and they would call them, instead of running ads again. Just thinking out loud--I never heard of a driver that was called up, but it may happen--just saying.

 

Yup its overloaded by 6 trailers as of Saturday afternoon, counting the other 2 drivers that were coming in later.

 

On a side note, went in and bought some living room furniture, boy it was nice taking 35% off the price, which was 15% more than the veteran's day sale price--
