Question to Current Interstate Drivers

I have a question to pose to my fellow Interstate drivers. Any truth to the rumors floating about that Interstate is "circling the drain", being sold, bought out? It just seems odd that there are so many cuts being made to FM staff, mechanics and other departments. I was at TY last week to get permit book updated and was told the "2011 permits would be issued later." REALLY?! Seems odd with only 3 weeks left in the year. Found out over the weekend that they closed the truck washes at FY and Wilsonville. I was also talking to another driver who told me his FM spent her vacation time looking for other employment. And I don't know about the rest of you, but my runs have been getting shorter and shorter (11 Western).
Maybe this isn't the proper place to be discussing dirty laundry, but I gotta tell ya...I'm more than a little nervous. Any thoughts, comments?

 

Thanks Gears! I really hope this is all just over-reaction on my part, but I'm leaning toward following my gut instincts and exploring other options.

 

OK. I just confirmed my fears. They're laying off FM's on an almost daily basis, and I'm told my miles were reduced due to freight being "less than projected". Bullsh#! I'm grabbing my life vest and abandoning ship. I hope things get better for those left behind. I'll be praying for you all.

 

I can't see their CSA score yet, but their SafeStat score is better than most. It's a head scratcher as to what's going on.

 

Thanks Gears! I start with TWT on Monday. I worked for them a few years back, and I know they're stable and a great company to work for.
