Based on some of the new drivers I'd be surprised if they could spell Williams Sonoma let alone know what it is.

Teams almost always get new trucks and if the amount of miles they put on them is any indication of how well they do then they do awfully well. I have gotten a couple "hand me down" team trucks for my guys and 1 year old trucks have 250-300k miles on them.
That brings us to today and this global pandemic we're all hopefully living through, everything except my wing programs have slowed considerably. Many of the plants our trucks run in and out of have shut down or seriously slowed shipping and receiving so the bulk of our trucks, teams included, are moving freight outside of our regular lanes and have slowed down.
Due to the current situation I do not believe we are hiring any new drivers at this time except "come backs" that have worked here within the last year. Our headquarters is in Arlington, WA which is the epicenter of where the Coronavirus started here in the US so other than a very small handful of management people and shop personnel, which are working a rotating schedule, everyone else is working from home so there are no orientation classes going on. -

We're all still running and every morning's report shows we're still well into the black but I'm not going to blow smoke up your $$$, it has slowed down across many of our sectors. In fact ....... cough ...... I hate to say it but we're going to send a few guys to do ....... cough cough ....... wind energy OD loads which we normally NEVER touch. Customer is in a bind so here we go. Tough times call for drastic measures.stwik, Tug Toy, cke and 1 other person Thank this. -
