Changes At Hobby Lobby?

Given all the praise I've seen from Hobby Lobby company drivers here in the past, I found it interesting that I observed a Werner tractor pulling a Hobby Lobby trailer east near Joplin.

Maybe it's a seasonal thing? But isn't that the way changes from well compensated company employees to poorly treated outside contractor drivers always happen? ("This will help surge needs today" turns into "This can save us milllions in the long run")

Keep your head on a swivel Hobby Lobby company drivers. Your days may ultimately be numbered unless you want to sign on to a fleece contract at a mega.

 

I know everybody and their brother hauls freight into the Hobby Lobby DC but to my knowledge, all of their store deliveries have been handed by company equipment and employees, until perhaps recently.

This was a Hobby Lobby trailer, leaving OKC headed for a store somewhere east, being pulled (powered) by something other than Hobby Lobby assets. But I'm sure I'm not telling their drivers anything they don't already know.

Returning home to the DC to see a Werner driver pulling one of your loads out the gate must be very disheartening.

 

LOL it would be akin to going on break at your fast food job and seeing a crate labeled "Automatic Burger Maker" from the ACME Corporation in Walla Walla, WA, that was just received and left in the storage room.

 

Okay. My mistake. I've been out here a long time and never observed any truck other than a Hobby Lobby badged truck pulling a Hobby Lobby trailer.

I take back anything good I've ever said about the Hobby Lobby transportation side. I also didn't realize that cheap Chinese made crap was so "valuable".

Carry on.
