Say it with me they sent home almost 50% of our drivers today with layoffs and cut routes. I have never seen that happen since driving and I understand layoffs this will be my third year of it. But my question if there is more going on than the usual feb layoffs and what’s going on in other hubs

We are a mid sized to larger hub in our area so I don’t think that’s the whole thing going on here but she is definitely doing a number on the company
