<p>[QUOTE=&quot;road_runner, post: 12103030, member: 83211&quot;]Ok, so thank you for propping that door open cause this does add some good discussion material without starting a new thread.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>At my old barn at USF Reddaway, everyone on linehaul and city was considered &quot;extra board&quot;.&nbsp; Major caveat was that management was lazy and they usually kept you on the same route (or city for P&amp;D) 98% of the time.&nbsp; Win-win since your workday was predictable and you were the subject matter expert for that route/city.&nbsp; Major downside was when the 2% emergency showed up, you were caught with your pants down.&nbsp; &quot;Crap, this is a layover run and now I have got&nbsp; to find a dog sitter&quot; or &quot;hope they like returns, cause this city is so foreign to me they might as well dropped me off in Belarus&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>My current company USF Holland on the other hand has everything chiseled in stone.&nbsp; You are on a bid.&nbsp; If they run out of freight they need to make something up, otherwise there are some consequences if they break your bid.&nbsp; Usually this may intail some financial benefits towards the driver that got his/her bid broken.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>We do use about 10% of the barn (on the city side) that can bid on an &quot;unassigned&quot; bid, which means they call you around 4 PM and tell you what time you can expect to come in the next day.&nbsp; This start time could be 1 AM to about 3 PM; or your 10 hour restart. You also never knew where you were going.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My question to everyone (and I genuinely can not find a pool of more qualified people to answer this). Is your barn set up the same way?&nbsp; Do you have the same terminology and structure?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
