It's always a cut routes disaster after a holiday.
Wednesday morning many will be coming back to work. Usually mid January things will start returning to normal.
Wise not to get into heavy debt until your through your progressing period
I recall the day after Christmas always being light. It'll come back.

All those 22.4s that start bumping inside and realize they don't get their driver wage are gonna be upset.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
I got a feeling it’s gonna be a little longer.
Biden said the economy is as good as it's ever been. It will be fine.

Get used to it. Economy sucks and corporate needs to recoup all the pay raise losses to make the Q1 books look good for the investors. I and many others were offered the day off today. I think it’s going to be a bad year for the covers. Plus whatever mess slotting all the 22.4s in causes. My routes on the chopping block, the latest I worked this peak was 6:45, other than that nothing but 8 hour days. At least we’re rebidding again.

This will be like nothing we’ve ever seen before. Our peaks keep getting lighter, it’s not just the economy or loss volume because of contract issues. This is a seismic shift in our business model and the impact on it by our largest competitor, Amazon. A lot of layoffs will be permanent. Hell, we had guys laid off right up to November this year. Low seniority drivers might want to think long and hard on where they see themselves 10, 20, or even 30 years out.
Hmmm. We still have 22.4 drivers?
Don’t worry about it. Enjoy your 8 hour days while they last. Soon you’ll be picking vacation. Hopefully you get a good route when you bid.

They shouldn't be. If they didn't know it was coming or a possibility then too bad for them.

Well the way you’re making it sound, high and low seniority should be concerned

Let’s hope not but honestly who knows. This year will be quite telling for our future. We can sit here and split hairs over Amazon being our competitor or not but the fact remains, they’re growing while we’re shrinking.

A lot of lower drivers are going to wish they were still 22.4s. Hope it's not a long layoff for them.

Why would high seniority be concerned?

Luckily for us if it went into full meltdown we can just submit our retirement papers.
