Ruan Lawsuit

To a fault, the Feds (and some shippers)have been in recent years have been emphasizing on food safety protocols (especially for those of us that pull reefers) over concerns of people getting ill from contaminated food and possible bioterrorism. A lot of shippers that handle frozen food and/or other perishables mandate the trailers be swept out or washed out(sometimes requiring a receipt for verification) to reduce the risk of contamination. I've seen the way some Walmart distribution centers haphazardly load their trailers (and have had some loads topple on their pallets during transit) ,making unloading a little tricky,if not risky.

 

I understand you didn't answer any question I asked.Just the chicken little sky falling speech

 

Not sure where your getting the concept of the constitution is protecting all citizens,my understanding is the basic concept is self governing is its most basic concept,and all have inherited rights never heard it's there to protect us from Ruan not stacking eggs properly.

 

So your saying you don't know right just in a long drawn out way,I don't know either that's why I ask the one who's telling this tale

 

No, I'm saying we are fragile creatures who can be killed very easily. A situation YOU might walk away from could put ME into a permanent dirt nap.

 

Ok thanks for that information I guess,I don't know why you felt the need to pass that we're fragile on .But as the op rant in my opinion is very hypothetical of him .Kroger at one time had there own company drivers represented by the teamsters,Kroger decided they could get rid of those drivers and get companies like Ruan to come in and bring in there drivers to do the same job for less money and benefits.Older drivers called those drivers scabs.Now this guy is on here complaining about how these companies are cutting corners being cheap for better profits when he is part of the problem .He decided to work cheaper then the Kroger drivers were now complaining about the monster he help build.so no I really have no sympathy for this guys rant

 

I can tell you that ruan doesn't give a rats ### about their employee's I worked for them for 17 years. if it wasn't for the benefits they had I would of not stayed on that long. in 2011 they came to our terminal a week before Christmas to give our safety awards an dinner. instead they told us to clean out our trucks that our terminal was now closed. .
