Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Were you city flex or linehaul?

I started out banding wood, painting all kinds of misc. crap. Haha. I loved the flex board....not!! Calling in at 6am every day. lame

And lol enjoying those early 90's anti union videos?

 

#### 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 back

 

Lol Swift.....not surprised.

 

Please tell me CWF has their own videos. ABF and UPS use their own equipment and questionable personal in those videos. Look at it this way granny, Getting paid to watch videos and power points.

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 videos

 

NEMF makes a great wage, Not sure of the benefits or how OT works out, Old equipment.
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

 

What are you talking about? lol

 

sounds way off the wall, but it's sorta true. ever pull weeds and dumped trash bins at union rate to kill time?
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...
