Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

From what I understand and recently told was they have several interns working load planning..smh

 

My AM said the majority of drivers...can't seem to do more than 400 miles a day...so Creaffer is scheduling loads that way ...to fit the work ethic...of the slackers

 

New hire drivers...are paid less cpm....and don't make the quarterly bonus...because they can't t run that hard...so more profit per load

 

I think a lot of drivers are happy with that. However, I'm not, and my AM will keep me

I don't think they do that, if you're less productive, so are they in the big picture. Some drivers are happy with 400-450 miles a day, I'm not one of them. My AM keeps me as busy as he can. I've made all but one of the bonuses since they started and I'm at top pay. I stayed out an extra week to be home over the 4th, and I'm going to be close to 35k this quarter. And that includes a couple short shag loads that were less than productive in the last couple weeks. One was 9 miles and it took them over 3 hours on a live unload. sometimes just being in the right place at the right time gets you the miles. I don't think it's any conspiracy on how many cpm you make. Keeping off of the east coast/ I-95 helps too.

 

Will the driver be punished if he throws the hubcaps in the dumpster? Asking for a friend.

 

Yeah, the hourly guys have no regard for the CPM guys paycheck, at least not the after hours ones. I never had any issues getting miles and decent loads from regular dispatchers because they knew I’d get it done, even the tight runs . But I learned to be very careful in working with after hours. They’ll screw you in a heart beat. If they would curb the turnover, after hours would probably get to know the dependable runners as well. But it seems this whole industry is filled with short timers.

 

Kansas City terminal mgr...said total number of drivers at Creaffer / Hunt...was currently around 5,000 ...down from 6,000 drivers...at this time last year
