Big Blue Bulk Trucks

Sorry for neglecting you guys but I have to make a living. Your tank washers are gone and the new wrench is in place and Fat Wilford is still upstairs polluting the air with all his various toxic fumes. Watch for the new wrench to become the eyes and ears for slim Jim in Joliet. That should be the end of the troll's rein of terror. Whatever you do do not help in the warehouse, you will get used and used up. Tell them that jackass running the yards should be able to do it in his spare time.
Go easy on your dispatcher, she is in a tough spot. She only does what she is told and has to work due to her old man's layoff. Remember though you don't have to go to Canada if you don't want to. They can't force you to leave this country and work in a foreign one. If they fire you for it there is legal recourse. Remember run legal and log it like you do it, that drives Wilford the troll crazy.

Greetings Fellow blue bellys,
Seems what goes around really does come around. Wilford Brimley's rat got the axe. Seems his services are no longer needed. He wanted to come back as a driver and was told to reapply. Who will be next?Did anyone besides me notice something missing from the tankwash? How long before a major contamination?
Look for more unexpected visits from the regional manager in the near future. What's that noise? I think it is the Troll's knees knocking together. I guess I'd be shaking too if I'd pulled some of the crap he has. Also the Rat has no reason to keep his secrets anymore. It should be very interesting in the near future.
Stay tuned for my predictions, it's gonna be good.......

The purpose of this blog is to compare the way terminals at a certain dry bulk company are run. I am speaking about the big blue plastic trucks. Those involved with this company will know immediatly who they are. We will also try to predict the future of this company. Hopefully this will help my fellow drivers gain the upper hand when dealing with these hard nosed S.O.B's.
Just for fun let's rate the terminals. I say Louisville is at the bottom. Florence is probably the best. What do you say?
Do you think we will have a job a year from now? How about five years from now? I can't think of many companys who let a holding company buy into them who are still around. Can you?
Anybody out there ever consider going union? That would have Joliet crying wouldn't it. It may come to that if they keep cutting benefits. Wages are next I'd say. I don't know about the rest of you guys but my wages are down ten to twelve thousand dollars from this time last year. Bet The brass haven't missed any meals.
So reply soon, tell me what you think be nice and drive safe.
