[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1664554, member: 52978"] Before cell phones, if management wanted to get ahold of a driver, they would call his/her pickups and leave a message to call the center. So they could get word to you if they wanted. A fellow driver (single dad) had a son about 14 years old who attempted suicide at home while the driver was at work. This happened about noon. The company made no attempt to get ahold of the driver on area. They waited till he got back to the building to inform him about his only son shooting himself in the head. He lived, btw. Example #2: Another time, about 5pm, there were several mechanics walking out towards the guard shack at end of day. 1 of them collapsed. A shifter was driving by and called up to dispatch on their motorola to send an ambulance asap (this was before cells as well) A feeder center manager told the people in dispatch not to call an ambulance till he could walk down there and verify it was an emergency. He had to walk the length of our hub. After he got there and recognized it was life or death, he told dispatch to call the ambulance. The mechanic died on the way to the hospital of a heart attack. I heard his family sued when they heard the details. I never heard the outcome. Nothing this company does suprises me. [/QUOTE]
