Hi all. Just found out around 2pm today that as of the end of school, our yard in Newmarket. will no longer have any school bus runs for the 2010/2011 school year. Apparently the runs come up for bid every few years, and we were under cut on them all, except a few french board runs. Stock, our Markham yard and a newer company Sinton, have scooped up our 70 odd runs.
Life in the 21st Century, undercut and destroy. Having a safety meeting in February,and they hope to have more info on who took what area, but it sounds like Stock took the 4 Stouffville runs. SO See what the meeting has to offer, but we may have to call Stock and see if we can get on. The ex shop foreman who is a full time spare seems to think Stock may call us to offer the runs to us instead of training new people, but i find that hard to believe. I believe things happen for a reason, and we have weathered worse storms, so hopefully we can carry on driving, but with another company. We both like the bis bus and would like to carry on, but if not, we should find something. Maybe i quit horse shows a year to soon. Nah.
