Neil and I didn't get our reloads until 16.00, another 4 hours wasted, head to Sheboygen, Wisconsin to load 5 generators to go to Carnduff, Saskatchewan for Monday morning. Neil got the same message. We went to Racine, Wisconsin for the night and then went to load Thursday morning. "Your at the wrong address" the shipper told us and then gave us the wrong directions to the warehouse.We eventually turned up 1 hour later to discover we were not due to load until 13.00 and the shipper had faxed a map to BFS. They agreed to load us straight away as they were quiet.
Generators loaded and chained we got as far as Rogers on Thursday then made it back to Steinbach Friday afternoon for another couple of days at home without pay.
I sent a couple of messages on Thursday and a couple more on Friday but as yet have not received any replies. The annoying part about all this is that BFS are always preaching about communication and how important keeping in touch is, shame they don't explain this to one of my dispatchers. We have two delivery addresses and I still don't know which one to deliver to on Monday, trial and error I think.

I have heard that Big Freight have been stopped from participating in the Manitoba PNP programme. Is there any truth in that? Have you heard anything?
I have heard the same rumours but if you want to know the truth I suggest you speak to someone at BFS.
It is true that they are reducing the size of their fleet this year and immigrant drivers are still being brought to Canada by BFS this year, but next year? Who knows. We would probably be the last to find out as employees.
