Why would someone get put on probation? If they are a bad driver as the company says just get rid of them. Putting someone on probation is something you do to an employee.
Now that was not Nice. I have a son that is altistic. People with handicaps shouldn't be made fun of. People shouldn't use the word retarded, I hate that word. They didnt ask to be born that way.
This is a very GOOD post Dave and Linda. Panther does things that some dont like, FedEx does some things that other don't like. Yea, I have shared my thoughts on EO about my leaving of FedEx. Does that make FedEx a bad company? Hell no, FedEx Custom Critical is a great company. If they was that...

Many people took it as an attack. We all know you are a diehard FedEx guy. Telling someone to "get over it" isn't making you look any better. Can't we all just get along? I know it's getting old.

Good post Steve. I had a truck on with TST that got .80 a mile for all U.S. miles, .90 a mile for loads going in and out of Canada. I ran alot more miles, but I still made money. Things will get better. Steve you remember how 1995 was?
Happy Thanksgiving Davekc,Lawrence, Jaminjim,Turtle,Leo, Moot, Greg, Teamcaffe, CoCo, Mike, Cindy, Phil, Diane, Dale and to everyone that is out on the road away from your family. Be safe out there. :)
