[QUOTE="gman, post: 58204"] 9/5 If you had enough drivers, do you think the dispatch would come down? Is it a problem that since they can't get enough guys trained and on the road, they can't get the dispatch down? It can't be a positive for your center to have such a high turnover. It cost a lot to get these guys trained to the point where they can even go out by themselves. As for our area, the news just announced that Delphi, a major supplier to GM, is considering shutting down in the area. 5000 jobs in several area plants with pay and benis similar to ours going out the window. One plant is a nearly half days delivery work for one driver. Plus the fall out of other business locations closing up and folks moving out due to the closier. We are one of the lowest cost of living areas is the country, if you have a job. Believe me when I say, NOBODY is going to quit here unless they have something else ahead of time. We have a driver who may lose his job due to a roll away. (But I hope not) You could almost hear a muffled cheer from the preload. One step closer to the daylight shift. I'm sure none of them wants to see someone lose their job but if thats what it takes for them to get a shot, I can understand where they are coming from. And as for the I.E. guy, that may be a blessing for your center. Maybe he can go back and point out reality to his co-number crunchers. [/QUOTE]
