    There are no plans to put a shower in at the Wichita yard.

    I’m going to have to do some more checking into that Wylie/Bulldog highway express angle.

    I thought that after they put up the security fence so we could use the indoor restroom, it was one of those "eventually we'll get one" since they were gonna have to cut the concrete to run drains. Hell, it would be easy to put one upstairs over the restroom, there is already water and a drain in the bathroom, just plumb into it and run a drain down and tie into the existing one. Just needs a partition to meet the CTPAT guidelines.

    To expensive, we don’t own the building, everything had to be done to code, ect.

    According to this Bulldog driver, Wylie bought out bulldog. 19:45. He mentions getting his logos changed in this video or the next.
    That would explain why we moved over to bulldogs yard. We actually moved over to Wylie's yard.

    I wonder if they're closing down the sea can fleet. I noticed that they are decking all the empty chasis on the yard like they're moving them out.

    I wonder if he's confused about it being "bought". Not sure how one SFI company (formerly Daseke) buys out another SFI company(formerly Daseke). I wonder if we're next? If so, they need to pay us like a Wylie driver

    And if so, I might need to start looking for another job...not sure I would be welcomed in with open arms to the actual Wylie fleet

    Lol what? Pensions used to be huge for middle class workers. This whole post is beyond out of touch lmao I'm glad you're fine with some truck stop worker finding your bloated rotting corpse in your sleeper some day, you do you.

    Shocker it's more expensive to live in a big city than some podunk town, but that generally comes with more job opportunities, more things to do than cow tipping, and more interesting people, and access to more resources like healthcare,
