Our mechanics had a conference call tonight.
any repair over $500 has to have sup approval
any part over $1000 has to have his bosses approval
no overtime at all for mechanics
mechanic says no problem the have to pay him for showing up if there are no parts to install!
We have not been put on cost restrictions at my hub yet, but I am sure it’s coming. I can’t order pink tag supplies or any parts right now. our red tag list and non compliance ( oil changes and pmi’s) is out of control.. they are now short several trucks a night and it’s only going to get worse.
We had some supervisor come flipping out in a panic the other night looking for trucks, nothing I can do about it. We are 8 then the gate and I am not working for free and I am not putting unsafe trucks on the road.
Our management started putting some trucks in B status to get the red tags off the books. Lol like that’s going to help anything.
The company is making money... this insanity of chasing unrealistic profit goals needs to stop.
