Very happy with LTL work!

it seems I floated under a lucky star, the bid came down to a busy ,but not demanding p/d run or fill in ,line haul.....although the fill in had a good 10 week of just driving, the other weeks you were a glorified dock worker.....I took the p/d guaranteed work....I have some good workers near my area, that's what sealed the deal for me.

 

Only the jerks.......

 

seems I spoke too soon, the contract says A bid run gets a scheduled start, albeit..within 2 hours of the start time given on the bid,,,,so tomorrow I have the bid start 9:30; and the rest of the week,'' on call''. If I had the money saved up I would never answer my phone. oh and the contract also says a awarded bid start gets a schedule thru out the week.........so how the hell is ''on call'' even close to the definition of a schedule?!

 

if the call doesn't come in the am, you don't work for the day....might get a call later ,but I never answer them calls....did it once , never again. See that's the problem I have, It's the companies way of skating past a layoff, but they could still use me and 2 other drivers for 4 hours and still get what little work done that there might be ....so they would rather call you for a start ,if need be, than a hard layoff or keep your start time and work shortened hours. Another thing they like to do is have other drivers take your run and then send you off on a crap day full of dismal deliveries. I dunno f I can take that kind of crap........I need a job, not this job.

 

at least that extra board is work, there are plenty of extra boards that are drive only...they sit home when it slows down, consider yourself lucky in that regard.

 

my operations manager is a complete imbecile, today he put a stop on my run that was s'posed to be on another run, and THAT run had a stop on his run that should of been mine....both tail loaded, but mine took me a hundred miles away from my regular first stop.......put me back and 1.5 hours on the run.........needless to say I was the last one back.....frigging idiot.

 

love the signature,btw.
