No jobs here?
I asked the boss on Monday, why he has not filled the 3 empty 'slots' we have.
He didn't stutter or dodge the issue. He stated that after running (3) different adds over a 5 month period, accepting about 40 applications, most of the ones that had the right endorsements could not pass the DRUG screen or the background check! The only others that could pass both of them failed the DOT physical! Our 'crew's youngest driver is 55 and has had (2) knee replacements! We have 15 drivers over age 60 and 3 of them are in their 70's! When a driver died in November, I had to jump into the seat and cover the runs for 30 days, till another guy got his CDL upgraded. I would drive a bus all day, then go back out in a van to help clean everything up. A driver came in on thursday and told us that he will be starting 'chemo' soon. Since he is at retirement age, if he survives, I doubt that he will be back. As it stands now, if anyone needs a day off or goes down sick, the mechanic and I will be covering again. It's a good thing that I kept all my certificates up when I came inside off the road! They would have to shut down routes!

Re: No jobs here?
We had a guy retire in may. He took a 'buy-out'. 40 years with the company! He
told me today, that he was RE HIRED as a part-time driver! When you have to 're-hire' your retirees, the 'pool' of potentials must really SUCK! He comes in as a 'new' guy, but hits the ground running, since his DOT stuff is still good. BUT, it also says that after 40 years, he was WILLING to come BACK!
