Ashley Distribution

No big loss there

 

I talked with an Ashley driver...doing N.Orlando to S.Florida work....he was an O/O and loved it.

 

We didn't lose him. He's still with the company and doing well. I know him and run out of advance with him.

The site lost him. Their loss.

 

Always appreciated his wisdom, glad he's still doing well.

 

He taught me a lot when I came here. JJ as well. We both have him on speed dial lol. This isn't one of those companies where you get an instruction book it's pretty much get in the truck and you better know what you're doing. Nobody's gonna hold your hand and explain it to you.

He was in a bike wreck mid year last year. Woman pulled out in front of him and trashed both him and his bike. Screwed him up pretty good he was down about a month but slowly recovering and still pushing hard as always.

We've been dealing with a bunch of crap backhaul loads out of NC lately and the plant seems to perpetually run behind and there's a lot of waiting on loads but we don't have quite the hometime issues that Arcadia is experiencing. I'm getting around 44 at home pretty consistently and miles have stayed pretty consistent

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if something ever happened at my current gig I'd look in to Ashley. The hometime would probably be my biggest concern. A 34 at the house wouldn't quite be enough, in my opinion.

 

For about a week, my load got to Richmond everyday late... not to mention leaving from Northern VA to go get a Beer or Pepsi Load to relay back to the yard is also starting to test my nerves

 

Wouldn't be for me neither... the guy that ran PTP out of Richmond pretty much did a 34-44 hour break every week. On occasions he might have two full days off... but I agree

 

Anybody know if they are or will be hiring for the Cedar Falls IA distribution center soon. I'm really hoping to get on with them. I applied over the phone awhile back but didn't get a response I think because I didn't have 2 years experience yet "I will have in May" I'm looking to do ptp for them

 

Yep that would be me the old PTP the was running out of Richmond. That reset each week got old not to mention that attendance policy they put in place. It was like I couldnt schedule time of for personal family events. They was only give us about 8 days for the year if I remembered correctly, but other then that Ashley was a good company money was good just PTP side being its new they need to work out the kinks.
