When the coffe stops watch production drop like a rock. No coffee is like no diesel, the transportion industry cannot run without it. I would not believe everything you hear. I have heard that all non essential spending is being cut off until the end of the year. Coffee is ABSOLUTELY essential.

True, How absolutely true!!! How could I have possibly believed that they'd deprive us of all things...COFFEE

Those bastards!!! What terminal you out of V? I will bring a box of Twinkies over when the time comes....

Yeah sure Radman, when the time comes...bring me lots of 'Twinkies.' I'll get our guys to unwrap one for every year that I'll have under my belt when I'm finally done. Then i'll have them put them on a tray w/ birthday type candles stuck in them, lite 'em up, and gather a few of my choice friends around and sing 'Happy retirement to me'... then get my hand shake and ride off into the sunset.

 

[vetran peddleman]

and they took our water away as well

That's totally outrageous!!! Do they need to pinch every little penny possible that people are now deprived, not only of coffee... but now the good water to make it with???

Got the latest scuttlebutt from one of our L/H drivers this morning... He was told, I assume from a credible xpo source...

Well there's your problem- assuming that any LH scuttlebutt comes from a credible source.

Yes grass-hopper!! It is my experience with the LH scuttlebutt is like smoke; where there is little smoke there is fire. Where there is a lot of smoke it is a dead and withering fire with wet wood!!

I suppose you're right, but why finger just the L/H when everybody...and I mean everybody... is highly speculative on most things since the buyout

Did you hear it from the guy who said all the dispatchers and dock supervisors quit at a terminal, that he would not name and they all went to OD? Obviously I do not work at CW, or XPO, but hate to see people putting BS on your page like they know something, and don't. If they would just let this thing play out, everyone would be better off. Believe it when you see it in print in your hand at work or it shows up from corporate in your mailbox at your house. Until then.............Relax.

Never asked for names. All I asked was what terminal that everyone quit at. So Nch is what? Charlotte, NC? That is all you had to put in the first place.

Score Cards - Anybody hear anything about the possibility of local service center score cards going away??? I can't recall where I just recently heard that they might be a thing of the past. Let's see... did I hear it from my TM last Thursday when he got back from St. Louis?...was this just wishful thinking on my part... or was I just dreaming this last night???

Wow!!! Sounds like the books ,(score cards), were cooked in order to have a shiny record for the new boss. I wonder if I went to my TM and asked him if he could cook the books on my 'personal company file' too so I could get a clean record for the new boss?

Don't panic over the water supply.......there is always water available for coffee.

Just make your choice carefully.

Just don't go to get coffee water right after a line haul driver leaves.

Well looks like Xpo is looking into a 7 day work week.

Look like this is the last year for VPP.

But hey we get 5 shirts and 5 pants now when we get new uniform.

I can see them adding Saturday city ops. Not sure about Sunday. But they could easily operate L/H seven days.

Once again the lack of communication is leading to speculation. It will be interesting to see what changes , if any , actually happen.

No wonder my buddy said his TM was excited after St.Louis meeting,told him he might wait a few extra years to retire. 7 days a week more money bigger bonus for him! (The terminal manager that is)
