Combo line haul/dockworker

Yeah - though it was 7 years ago - I wouldn’t hesitate to return there. They’re a top paying company with almost zero issues for us in the 8 years employed.

They outstrip most of the LTL companies in every respect.

 

When we left, seniority was still in place. Guys that were there longer than you had first pick on whatever runs suited them.

Not all went for longer runs. Some just wanted the easiest.

 

If you’re halfway between two cities and have an out of state license, I’m assuming you mean halfway between Buffalo and Erie? If so, you should also check out FedEx Freight. It’s right on the PA/NY state line.

 

I worked for YRC Freight (refrigerated division) for 3 yrs. My seniority was kinda in the middle. I refused to bid on runs because bid runs are too boring. The other drivers didn't like it that I refused to bid. The reason they didn't like it was because, even though I was far from the most senior driver, I made more money per year than the rest of the drivers. I got all the runs from drivers taking vacations, time off, extra runs that came in that weren't on the bid list. The other drivers were really bent out of shape because I was the top money maker in that division. Screw bid runs; don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
I'd never work for a company that said, "Bidding on runs is required."

 

That’s because you’re cut from a different cloth, and it’s hard to convey that sometimes.
