    When i signed up for insurance I was told I couldn't make any changes until open enrolment in Sept. I am not sure of exact date so guessed at it being the 1st of the month.

    Its not so funny if it turns out you are one of those regional drivers whether you want to be or not.

    I joked about it a few days ago but now I am really wondering.

    I would ask my driver manager but I was told yesterday that they are no longer my manager when I called for help with a pickup.

    Thats the second one that has bailed on me in 3 months. I'm starting to develop a complex.

    If they can't be fixed and stuck on a trailer our tire vendor gives the company credit for it.

    Then drop the trailer at our biggest customer ignoring the specific rule about ensuring trailers are clean before dropping them there.

    Then again maybe it was one of their yard drivers that grabbed the empty off our yard when they brought over a loaded trailer that should have stayed on their yard.

    Any word on that new trailer wrangler?.

    Ok, just didn't want to miss the opportunity to make changes due to a simple "miscommunication" ... Didn't know if I had missed an email or something. But maybe they will tell the rest us in the near future.

    Abilene does have regional drivers that don't do the NE. They don't live in Richmond of course. Abilene does this to get and keep drivers. They do have a turn over or they wouldn't be continuously hiring new people.
