[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 5364063, member: 22662"] So our terminal currently has two open CSAs. That means that for approximately 1300 stops every day the company is paying an additional $4 per stop above negotiated stop pay. Had one route sit because nobody had a driver available three days ago. Yesterday they had approximately 20 stops left at 2pm unaccounted for. Text to all contractors offering $8 per stop to get those stops done. All stops on the same road 12 miles from the terminal. Why does that tell us? It tells us that the “take it or leave it” offer is a smokescreen. Guess what happens next. You’ll see more and more stops left behind. Bringing in contractors has proven incredibly difficult and the market now exists for the existing contractors to set the rates. They have no backup plan for the system they’ve created. This is small scale. This is why the company is in no position to take action against Spencer or anyone else. Imagine if the company attempted to purge contractors now before peak or even after peak. Good luck with that. [/QUOTE]
