RE: off topic
I'm well aware we aren't going to get everything we want and those things we get aren't always going to be as prompt as we'd like. We have achieved some good things and more are in progress. We have a long way to go and we all recognize that.
Greg, perhaps they wouldn't do anything during the time they spend preparing for and holding our meetings. Perhaps they spend time every day doing nothing. Perhaps the many times I am there on business and observe many of them, often without their notice, they are putting on a show for me of working, even the times they don't know I'm there. Somehow I doubt that's the case and they are pretty busy most of the time.
Their first concern is the ongoing viability and profitability of the company. Nobody would suggest otherwise. Contrary to the belief of some here, they do have concern for retention and turnover. It costs much more to bring in new drivers than to continue paying those who are here.
For those who believe there is zero consideration for drivers and find no value in anything we've accomplished so far, you probably need to move on. With a 100% negative attitude and opinion you are in the wrong place and perhaps in the wrong business.
I haven't drank any koolaid and I'm get no special consideration from the company. I recognize many warts they have. I complain. Sometimes I get positive results, as with some of the council items so far. Often I get frustration. I'll appreciate the positives and the progress we've made and complain about the things still lacking. If I had a totally negative attitude and mindset I would move on. I see some positives to go with my negatives so I'll continue to work for better.
