Well, I finally jumped ship. Best of luck to the guys who are staying, but I've had it with the trashed equipment. I don't know where all the new stuff is winding up, but it sure wasn't anywhere near our barn. We couldn't even get oil changes and inspections done.
Things at the new carrier are so much different. No angry chaos in the terminal, equipment that's taken care of, DIRECT FUGHIN' DEPOSIT, and the management treats drivers like an asset.
CT better get it together quick. They need to start by firing a bunch of people in the corporate office, and get rid of the crap trailers. That would be a start.
And, at least around me, they need to start paying a competitive wage. Right now, they're the lowest paid LTL that isn't a small regional, and even the one lower than CT is pretty close. Plus, they pay OT at 40.
I've never had a 2 week notice feel like it took a month to complete.
I had a great TM, and I wish him best of luck finding new drivers. He's fighting an uphill battle, and corporate is placing all the blame on him. Guy deserves better. I've watched the fights he's had, and even been a part of a few of them.
