Hi Rinna,
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. James felt very
positive working for a Refrigerated trucking company
because he said, that people will always have to buy food
from the various food stores so he is less likely to be
sitting out waiting for a load for long periods of time.
James arrived at his destination in South Carolina, he had
packaged beef on board. He will pick up another load and
drive up to Ohio then probably be heading home with another
load for a 2 day rest.
When I was living back in New Zealand, employees did not
get laid off very often especially if they had been with the
company for several years because it cost too much in
redundancy (compensation). Most companies here in the
States do not seem to have this 'safety net' for their
employees so when they get laid off, with many I have read
working for the same company many years - they get hardly
anything in the way of compensation. The company's loyalty
to their employees have gone out of the window. They do
not care. These companies have to make money for their
Administration staff at their workers expense. They have
become so greedy and new staff comes and goes like a
revolving door. The motto today seems to be 'they will not
pay their employees more than they can replace them'
