[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4291153, member: 58386"] It will likely mean more deadline sensitive, guaranteed time specific workloads and more pressure being placed on already badly under compensated contractor employed drivers. Contractors operate from day to day on the hope that there will always be somebody walking through that door physically able and psychologically willing to go out and deliver top of the scale performance for bottom of the scale money on a continuous daily basis for an extended period of time. Piling Smart Post and what was once Express freight on to those people and eventually they'll come a day when nobody's coming through the door. BTW. in case you missed it Celadon packed it in yesterday. Told their consignees not to worry their loads will get there while at the same time are telling O-O's to deliver their loads with cancelled fuel cards, file claims as a secured creditor and.....maybe....they'll get paid.... someday. Told their company drivers to take their rigs to the "nearest safe place" find their own way home and submit their claims for wages. If i was one of them I would turn around head for home then just about the time I was running out of fuel I would drive it into the nearest swampy woods and bury it up to the bumper. Them: "What the hell were you doing? What wrecker is going to come out here to pull it out when they already know that they're not going to get paid? Me: " Well, you said to take it to the nearest safe place and here is the nearest safe place . Look at is this way. Who's going to steal it? [/QUOTE]
