OIX/Ortrans

No rudeness noticed. I am actively looking for another place . Believe me this company used to be totally different than. And the jb comment was a comparison not a put down. So many policies have changed, our safety and performance bonuses have changed drastically, the ambiance of the company is company first driver second. Never used to be that way. Used to get 3400+ miles a week now that they have put on another 30 trucks without getting more customers miles have dropped off. Should I keep going?

 

Yes... keep going man... what else? Take this opportunity and say it all... Ah... one thing, hope you find what you are looking for as soon as possible. All the best to you.

 

When I started here we had a safety department that actually gave a #### about you the driver. They cared about your family.and it was a genuine concern. When you walked in the building everybody in the safety department said hello.our safety department now is more concerned about policies than drivers unless you're doing something wrong.when was the last time you needed a sticker on your way mirror to tell you to get out and look we never had those before we were treated as responsible adults now we have to have stickers to tell us not to talk on the phone and have three point of contact on the truck and to get out and look. we had a vice president that actually gave a #### and would bend over backwards to help you out. those people have been replaced. We now have people here from large companies that still have the large company mentality and want to impose that large company mentality on a small family operation.most of us drivers hired on here because of the small family operation if we wanted to work for a large company we would not have worked here. Our safety bonus and performance bonus are no more now than a fuel the used to actually meet safety and performance now it means how much fuel did you say. Hour pay cut off use to be Monday morning at 10 a.m. now it is Sunday so you don't have the weekend trip on your pay sheet unless you get your load split. We no longer have apu units on the trucks because of a shorter wheelbaseso in order to keep cool you have to idle and that can make you lose your bonus.in reality it is not a bad company in the strictest sense of the word it is just different it is trying to be much bigger than it is without very much for thoughtsomeday it may catch up to itself

 

What is supposed to happen at the 6 month mark. Are you supposed to turn into a pumpkin LOL

 

IMHO, as small companies develop and grow, they have to change and adapt due to regulations, economy, etc, etc...
