2017 Intermodal

He was irritated because they've hired a LOT of PRIMA DONNAS who go on vacation last minute, without telling anyone, because they wake up late and get late to customers, for no reason (i've actually rescued one of these loads), because they gripe about the rates, but when it's time to do something like pre pull a load, (they don't even call in while at the rail after liftoff, just so they don't have to do a pre pull)....They are asked to do inventory at a drop and hook (there's only 4 or 5 Kiswani chassis there) and they send in container numbers on another carriers chassis....Just a general, lack of ...well ...(they don't give a sh t!!!).....

Dean has even had to go to Elwood because an idiot was told to ingate an empty from Cargill AND INSTEAD HE INGATED A LOADED BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They had O/O show up at customers to pick up loads THAT WERE NOT DISPATCHED TO THEM!!!!!!!!!

In short, Primma Donnas.......

 

They're not, honestly, they've been forcing people out, that should have been gone a long time ago....Kiswani management is averse to firing people...(don't get it, myself, but, whatever)....O/O are free excess capacity......don't be surprised if at this time next year, there are over 50 O/O there....

My issues with them are not critical(yet), they've been VERY kind, fair and understanding with me, as I've had a rather bad year (mostly personal stuff, and the typical truck issues), so I'm giving them 6-12 months to deal with the issues THEY do have (dispatch)....

 

Yes, you have to re plan an exit mission at DA...
