Boyd Intermodal

Well it appears I need to clarify some things so some people don't have the wrong impression. First is that you should never ASSUME anything about someone cuz well we know the rest of that saying. So with that said, for the record I am a very modest driver, have more patiences than any driver I know, have fixed more BS for Boyd than I can count, and I still don't ask for special treatment or think I deserve it. ALL I ASK FOR IS TO BE TREATED FAIRLY. I KNOW WHEN I'M BEING SCREWED. The problem is that too many drivers don't see the BIG PICTURE. They don't check the load boards and read the paper and keep up with the industry and the markets. All they do is listen to whatever bs the company tells them and then say "oh ok makes sense". Prime example was that I was laidover in Dallas one day and then I checked the load boards to find 1800 available flatbed loads in a 100 mile radius of Dallas. The real problem was that those loads didn't allow Boyd to make what they consider enough money cuz their greedy. Ask all the guys that were on percentage pay then switched back to cpm because Boyd started lying about the freight rate. Come on now, I'm supposed to respect a company that won't even let me have 27% I'm entitled to. Do they really think I'm that dumb to beleive that they booked a load for less than a dollar a mile after I witnessed the Dallas situation. Then when we were on percentage pay the cheap bs freight never stopped. They had no problem getting outside brokered loads that were cheap. Its all about payroll taxes WAKEUP! Why do you think they do per diem pay? Do I have to explain how that benefits them to you also? Why do you think all the experienced drivers have left Boyd? They got tired of being screwed. Its sad when I used to run 2600 - 3100 miles consistently and now I can't even get 1900. So If you guys want to continue being narrow minded and are happy with half of the money we used to make then keep on chasing that carrot their dangling in front of you. I for one have higher ethics, standards, and goals in life and my work!
