Well i hate to say it but im puttin in my two weeks come monday if things dont change. Im only gettin 10-15 hours in a week, cant make any kind of plans cuz they call me in at 5 make me work the outbound, wait till 7 to tell me u r on linehaul now. I do work another job as well which was fine by them, but i cant even make hours for that cuz when i do they flip on me. they even revoked my day off after granting it to me saying i will work the entire night but worked for a hour.
All in all i cannot live like this, they want me sitting home all day twiddling my thumbs till they call me in or hope they do, im 2 payments behind on my car which thankfully my father helped me out with, im goin back to my old jobs where i no wut i am doing and when.
special thx to jakebrake tho for answering all questions these few months, was hopin to c u out there man but looks like it wont happen.

good for you.....I don't know why drivers put up with that system. They are not that great of a company.

I talked to more senoir guys, they said wen it was CCX it was a lot better and they only stay now cuz of senority, they all say if they were my age or didnt have the senoirity theyd leave. like i said im never able to work, and i cannot make n e kind of plans, im on the verge of being thrown out of my vol fd, and ie cancelled like 4 dates with this girl ive been hanging with(although she fully understood). Like i said i cannot even make plans on a weekend if i have to do linehaul last min like today, had to cancell everything for tonite/tomorrow. honestly im not just living to work, i still want to have my life. Im waiting to hear back from Old dominion, my fathers gf works there and shes tryin to get me in, but in the mean time i can do my odd jobs like i was before hand and still to this day, thats how ive been making my money, not the 10-15 hours a week i work.

Spent a couple years with Con-Way when I got my CDL and have now been gone for a couple years. Just before I left, they started putting on a lot of drivers they really didn't need. I felt like the whole issue with that was they were circling like buzzards waiting for YRC to go belly up and they'd be ready to grab as much as they could. YRC is still with us. I was lucky when I started as I only spent about 2 1/2 months on their flex board. Others that started after me weren't as lucky. They brought me in with no experience, I was able to get some, and thats the only good thing I was able to say about them in the end.
ACH1130 Thanks this. -
Sorry to hear what going on with you dude. In my last week of training and we'll see how it goes next week when I go either linehaul flex/or p&D flex. G said he'll work with me.
this week I go to Newark, Newburgh and Carlstadt(wed-fri) in that order..So hopefully ill get to meet ya one of those nights.
Hope all works out for you man -
newarks probly easier since the sector is a lot smaller than carlstadt, watch mr G he doesnt always keep his word! if i go wednesday to newark i will let u no and keep an eye out. thursday i cant do linehaul and we dont go to newburgh. conway overhired and theres no work for n e of us, i found out theres more quitting too(not from my place, other terminals i no from linehaul). Honestly if i had a set start time everyday i would stay but i cant even plan out my day, especially when they tell me friday call at 730, i do so they say no runs, im about to go out and at 8 they scream at me to get my @#$ there now. thats the second time that happened within a week.
im lookin into other companies, my fathers friend is tryin to get me into his place pull gas tankers but they r never hiring(jus my luck). well n e way how many people r in front of u for flex, for p/d i got 4 in front and for linehaul i got 2 -
Yea I see that too with the overhiring. Doesnt make any sense at all. Well Im just trying to get my foot in the door. We'll see how it goes after training. Good luck with everything man, and I'll PM you my #

yea maybe ur terminal is different than mine, ive been done with training about two months now. yea send me ur # in a pm, and ill give u a shout if i go to carlstadt or newark this week. i didnt even no newburgh was a FAC
