    I got a crappy card with company truck on it. Last year I was driving on Christmas so I got $200 "bonus" but I chose to just be with family on Christmas this year. They can keep their lousy $200 and shove it up their ###.

    I was with ruan transport for 17 years. a week before Christmas they would have a dinner an give out our safety awards, year service pins,hats. the last one was in 2011. the drivers arrived for our yearly to do and they told us our terminal was closed, an to go clean out our trucks. that was a really good Christmas that year.

    No you are not. I got a $50.00 gift card from my company. I also worked Christmas Eve which was holiday pay (almost $70.00 per hour for all hours worked). Looking forward to New Years Eve and New Years Day. Working both for the same pay.

    Got to love a good company!
     
    chris887 Thanks this.

    It's nice when a company does something special, but it shouldn't be expected.

    I make them money by delivering safely and on time, and they make me money by...
    Full circle.
    I really doubt my DM was too broken up when he didn't get a gift from all his drivers.
    Maybe in a DM forum he was crying like the OP?

    Grow up.
     
    ramblingman and truckdad Thank this.

    I made it home and that's all I cared about. I did get my dispatcher a present though. Since I'm always telling him what a terrible job he's doing I bought him Donald Trumps the art of the deal.
