ABF Checker/Driver + Dock/P&D vs ABF over the road??? What's better?

I'll tell you something. You sure do like to cry about stupid crap on here. not worth asking you anything
"22" so called years doing trucking, Haven't gave 1 solid peace of advice. all you do is cry

I bet coworkers avoid you like ebola and management is tired of petty crap, Happy to give your next employer a great review

ABF does not want you. Awe poor kasey.

Back to former employer you go

 

Yea, Werner are pulling our sets... makes me sick

 

scabs

 

No kids, divorcing wife. I had 2 weeks this year. Oklahoma to see dad, he is 82, Florida 1 week to see mom. There is more to life than work.

 

Can anyone tell me how long you have to be a casual? I'm getting hired for city driver school dock/ p&d in Fontana Ca.

 

It can vary, there is no set time. I run into Fontana all the time. Just left that yard this morning.

 

Thanks for the reply howdey anything else you can tell me about this specific terminal? Can I expect to get a decent amount of hours each week?

 

I wish I could help you more but I can't. I'm a road driver out of Kingman Az, so I really don't have much knowledge of how the city board works there. I just take freight in and out of there.

I do know we're busy, so you should get plenty of work, and hopefully you don't stay casual too long.

Always be available for work, and work hard. Don't give them a reason not to call you for work and not to hire you full-time.

 

As a road driver do you usually deliver to the same terminal or is it different each run?

 

Well we have what we call "bids" which are runs that either go to the same terminal or just runs that run the same days each week with the same day off. We have turn bids and laydown bids. It varies

I'm an extra board driver, meaning I run whenever to wherever. Sometimes I do a turn, meaning I run from my home terminal to another terminal and back in the same shift. Or I'll do a laydown meaning I run to another terminal, go to a hotel and come home the next day.
My laydown runs may be a direct trip like going from home terminal straight to another then to the hotel or I may have a via or two before hitting my final destination for my hotel rest. Road drivers touch zero freight, it's all drop and hook.
I have no set day off, I just run till I wanna take off. I have to do at least 6 tours before I can take off. A turn would be one tour where as a laydown would be two tours. After 6 tours I get up 58 hours off, if I work 12 tours I get 72 hours off.


Edit:

I probably have about 20 different terminals I deal with. All within 600 miles of my home terminal.
