[QUOTE="HedleyLamarr, post: 5574345, member: 62232"] You don't need a giant press release to know Express is being eliminated. The writing has been on the wall since LMO started. Years ago, I knew this gentleman who worked at a nearby textile plant. I asked him if he was getting ready to move on since textile plants across the country were all shutting their doors and moving to Mexico. It was inevitable that this nearby plant would soon follow, but he refused to believe me. Less than a year later, it was announced the plant was closing. Don't be completely caught off guard like he was. Also, from a pure financial point of view, it makes sense. Why pay insurance, vacation, sick days...etc to employee drivers when you don't have to? We haven't gotten a new vehicle at my station in probably 3 years now. There is a reason for that! BHMA, Birmingham, AL Management said they would let us know on Friday what they decide to do. It's still up in the air, but changes will be made. [/QUOTE]
