    Default Cls/usic

    Just got hired with CLS (USIC?) in Eastern, PA. Anyone know much about the company from personal experience? I guess it'll be changing though too with the USIC owning it now. Any info would be helpful. Im still going through my training classes right now.

    I didn't even know CLS was still in Eastern, PA. Thought they got pushed out to the west, Pittsburgh areas.

    So who is training you there? Jordan? He's a good guy. Your DM is Dwayne S. another good guy (yes, even for a DM). To be honest with you I'm not sure what impact USIC is going to have there. It might be something like CLS a USIC Company, you might not even be able to tell that USIC is even involved, unlike some areas, say Chicago for instance.

    I have been with cls for 9 years now and from what I can tell we are being turned into sm&p some of the changes are good and some are a joke ( like mobile dispatch) all you can do is go along for the ride till we get sold again and again its a vicious cycle

    T, what's wrong with Mobile Dispatch? By the way, are the CLS guys still getting new trucks withe the CLS logo or is it something different?

    All I know is so far all of us new guys that have gotten our trucks already are the used Toyota's (still in good shape - low miles) with the CLS Logo. No word on if any will be getting it changed.

    I know lets all go to TRANSLORE system. Then everyone can spend an extra five minutes on every ticket in billing. At least with Mobile Dispatch your pictures automatically upload after every ticket that is billed. What a concept eh? TRANSORE is a $ucking joke!!!

    I was with STS in Central Florida locating ATT. STS lost the contract back to CLS and I've been with CLS now six months. We do phone, cable, electricity here. I only hear the horror stories of CLS but been told the company has improved from the Gestapo days.

    Oh, by the way. I'm new here. First post . Guess I'll introduce myself on the welcome thread.
