    Just thought I would pass along that today miller transport laid off
    50% of it's company drivers..
    1/3 of it's O/O's

    Not sure why really but talked to a miller driver today ... He wasn't sure if it was a business loss or??

    They are not folding up though still running ..

    Miller laid off 15 % of their lease operators and to the best of my knowledge no company drivers as they are union.
    The guys who were laid off were flagrant log abusers, had a lot of customer service failures and new hires.
    We are living in tough times and after loosing a large account by refusing to cut rates they chose to cull the herd at their discretion rather than loose any of their productive conscientious workers.

    I just report what I was told. The. Source for my thread was a miller company hand. (so he told me) he was in a miller truck pulling a miller trailer I can 100% say that.

    My creditability is good here I only post facts as I find them out. I could be wrong but just what I was told tanker driver, to tanker driver at the pilot in hayti mo on I 55
    Don't know why he would just tell me that he was a little upset and venting ...

    I hope no one got laid off at all....
