<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ACH1130, post: 2847870, member: 59271&quot;]Like the others said, go in at 5pm, work the outbound for 2.5 hours while rushing on the lift. Then hooking up a set and driving 2 hours to the hub, breaking the set down, working the dock another 6-8 hours, then having to rehook and drive back . Or going in at 7, hooking up, driving 4.5 hours, doing the dock for who knows how long, then driving back... guys would have to pull over to rest.</p><p><br /></p><p>P/D was no prize either, either go in whatever time, rush through the dockwork breaking trailers, then having to rush rush on your route because they dont want you staying out, they would call the stop if you took to long and tell them let you go... Then having to go back and work the dock again. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your either a DRIVER or a DOCKWORKER. If you do both it should be going to one or two quick stops, not going out and doing 6-9 stops.</p><p><br /></p><p>YRC either you work the dock or drive. Even if we dont like the way our trucks set up, we tell the supervisor and he has one of the guys rearrange it the way you want it. Or if you go back to pickup more freight the dock guys will either load your truck(if you have a straight truck) or they will have the trailer already loaded and all you do is drop and hook. </p><p><br /></p><p>CWF, FedEx and RL are the only two that make you do that. Most other LTL companies your one or the other. Thats why the turnover rate is SO high at these companies and others have almost none</p><p><br /></p><p>My terminal is small, but either its a dock worker or driver. I would NEVER work for another LTL that requires driver/dock combo every day. I was very tired every day[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
