I dropped off my trailer yesterday morning, and am now waiting for an empty trailer to become availible. Unfortunitly three other trucks were down here before me and two of them are waiting as well. Yesterday night two more trucks showed up and so we have turned one section of this Love's into a Falcon Terminal. We have five bobtails grouped together in three spots and have hung around talking about things. I found out one thing that is probably the reason for a lot of the changes that have been going on. Part of the company has been sold to another party by a few of the family members that own it. Apparently it was sold and part of the deal was that these new owners would run the day to day operations. I don't know how much that they own, but right now it seems like they are interested in getting as much money out of the company as possible while running it into the ground. Truck repairs and services have been delayed for more than just the people who were at the closing terminals. A lot of other things have been cut as well, so at this point it is just a matter of getting a decent paycheck while riding this down in flames. At least I will be building time at one company, so will have unemployment to fall back on if I need to for a while.
the waiting for a trailer isn't to bad, especially since I don't have a whole lot of hours to work with today and tomorrow. If I stay here till at least midnight I will be able to restart myself and start tomorrow with a full 70 hours to work.
