Anyone care to discuss their opinions of new idle and jake brake policy?

Well such a flurry of fun with USX this week ain't it!!!!

HighwayMan I still say you did the right thing.

Also looks like USX is still going further down hill to me too.

 

You don't pay attention very well do you ?? I was at a shop for 7 days, but I can also see you are just here to run your mouth and stir stuff up.. So you go right on ahead and enjoy your super truckin life. Bye bye

 

It is almost like some people read between the lines and only see the words that they think they see.

I thought that it was pretty clear that you were at a terminal when all of that went down.

 

No, I don't read every post. I don't live on this message board. Your last post made it sound like you were stuck out on the road and unable to idle in cold weather. Next time be more clear.

All I said in the beginning was you weren't "pushed out". They didn't say "Hey we don't like this guy so let's get rid of him."

You had some bad luck with the truck not working. It happens. I was once stuck out in Idaho with a blown turbo for 6 days winter before last. It sucked. I was supposed to be headed home to Florida.

I'm not putting you down so quit whining. Seems to me you wanted to get out of OTR anyway. Now you have a decent local job. I've been looking myself but there's nothing out there at the moment.

 

Dam why is it all you see is the good in USX and not see the bad there too. No offense, but are you really that blind? I am not trying to start a peeing match with you either. You are just about as bad as all the cheerleaders on the USX Facebook page.

People have opinions, here is a man that has been with the company for at least 2 years, and you trash the guy WTF??? Come on dude, have a little respect.

 

Are you kidding me? I came here and everyone is like the Stepford Drivers or something. It actually kind of creeped me out.

I don't just see good here. I would never recommend this company to someone who drives solo, for instance.

I'm also not going to be like you and just aimlessly bash the company either.

The only problem I had with what you said was the wording.

 

I never aimlessly bashed the company. I am not some young gun that has not worked in the world. This company has had a bad habit of treating people poorly. Maybe it is the people they hire, maybe the people that are part of the staff, but if there wasn't any issues then why did they have a re-org??

 

When I think about how USXpress is as a company, I look deep...
Their biggest problems are organization, communication and hiring practices. This is a problem among a lot of large companies and because of it, employee's do not feel they are treated right. They should not take this personally, it is simply because of the 3 things I mentioned above. Each person that works for USXPress is a human as we are and I am sure that most do care about their fellow man/woman. They are taxed to the very second of their 40 hour work week, or whatever hours they are worked. I am sure they also see the lack of communication, as we do, and it effects them as well. I beleive as long as we continue to pass our dislike about these weaknesses, someone will take the raines and make the move needed to start change.

Highwayman and Renegade... I do understand why you two left and if in your shoes, may have done the same. All I am saying is that I would like to see more focus on getting the company to make some changes, rather than expecting them to make changes.

 

Nicely said SD

To be honest if I had someone within the company willing to listen to what someone had to say that could help some of the issue I would be willing to share them. My knowledge and understanding of customer service, working with shippers, receivers, drivers, and as well as faculty and staff from 15 years of working with fortune 500 company. Some of the things that could fix some of the larger issues with this company would take such little effort to try and fix and would not cost USX very much to start.

Nothing against you, but I am the bad guy that use to work for said company, so who (inside of USX) would even try to listen to anything I would have to say that might help them.

Respectfully,
