Wow...painting and cleaning gutters? I am glad you guys get to deal with that and not me. I am extra board line, but I work a very consistent schedule/route. Having a bit of a crappy two weeks. They took in my truck for maintenance. Loaner truck they gave me is a hunk of junk. Won't even pull its own weight over the hills without downshifting three times. On top of that, the previous owner got trigger happy with a label gun and posted notes all over the dash. "No Smoking in this truck" and "No gloves while touching the steering wheel". To top it off, he placed 14 air freshener trees inside of it. I smell like a cab driver.
CenutryClass Thanks this. -
#### I got NEMF and YRC blowing me up for a job lol

Cenutryclass I don't miss those days. In fact I'm having bad memories now, and I forgot all about that.
@Grannyprolane best thing to do is talk to the drivers and see what they have to say from both companies. That's what I did when I choose my current job and I'm not looking backCenutryClass Thanks this. -
Lol Swift.....not surprised.

My shop at ABF, first round and current go around the videos were played in the drivers lounge, 5 disc for the dvd player to watch. The TM left and let the new drivers watch this in the drivers lounge. Well, break time comes senior drivers troll in. Hilarity ensues and rips apart the 20th century videos. I think every TM does this on purpose,No need for updated videosLast edited: Jun 28, 2014

My experience, 2 old fellas run my area. Same old tractor and seems like the same old 53 footer, Equipment not pretty, but sure as heck make a good living. In fact these 2 drivers have been on the same route for the past 5 years when i worked for a non LTL outfit and did line haul for valvoline lol. Yes they bust my balls. this is my 3rd company interacting with those fellas.
I know nothing about YRC, This is biased. Go with NEMF -

I have. only to be reminded we don't do that job. What can I say? I was bored and the crap needed done. not joking
Context: needed a space at the shop. over grown with weeds. end of shift and had time to kill. ran over with trailer multiple times and hand thrown the easy pickings.
Seriously trash and weed picking. I'm not above any job, clean the bathrooms at union rate fock yeah. some folks need a ego check. Emptying trash bins on the dock threw people into a meltdown. WE HAVE SOMEONE DO THAT ! welll im doing it we don't need them !
joking about the bathrooms, decades old filth. Lost cause,Needs rebuilt...Last edited: Jun 28, 2014
