The bad news, in the words of Springsteen; "Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they ain't coming back to your hometown"

No way that could happen in maine. The unloaders hook everything up for the driver. All they have to do is pop the top.

This is true, but 9/10 you bring an empty to Dow. Load, come back to the yard and deliver the next day. You dont unhook unti its empty.

Just telling you what I heard. Something like the TO, BOL, and Trailer didn't match, no one caught it, and the wrong crap was delivered. End of contract.

I know our first delivery to Baltimore with Ammonium Sulfate was delievered to the wrong side, same product just wrong place. Big mistake, but I guess they kissed enough ass that they kept Superior on.

To be honest I have no clue what happened with Dow, all we get is the heresay. Only the upper management knows for sure. The way stuff has been going in Maine I wouldnt be surprised by anything. Drivers are not paying attention to job duties anymore. The fear of how am I going to live is take first spot, and everything after that is a crap shoot.

It's hard to stay on top your game when work is so sporadic.

Oakley update...

Just got the word from a very good friend there about a nice move that Oakley just did to save quite a few $$$, implememnted a couple weeks ago! Ya ready?

-Elimination of the Retention Bonus and the Monthly Mileage Bonus. Looks like they're trying to get back to competing with the other two for "Biggest Florida Scumbag Company" award :eek2:
