Kenan or Energy Dispatch?

Keenan guarantees you $500/week for being available 6 days/week.
And believe me, when it slows down I work until I get $500.00 then you sit home.
That's how it is in NC where I work.
There is no seniority,only benefit of staying is slow pay increase.
No raises in 3 years.
Local runs pay by the load, not hourly.
Lets say you have a local run for instance loading chemical tankers, delivering them less than 20 miles away-once you are unloaded you do it again for a total of 3 loads to deliver.
Now each time you pick up a load you have to give up the first 2 hours waiting time for free, after that you get paid hourly.
So if you pick up 3 loads a day, and there is a line at the loading rack-you will sit around unpaid for 6 hours.
The loaders know that and so does Kenan, and they abuse it.
Most trucks are ok and they keep them up. There are a few with over 600,000 miles on them with bad seats and they don't think twice about sending you out on a 550 mile turn in them.
Oh yeah-they installed computers in the trucks that keep track of everything you do-they are trying to use it for logs also.

So you don't get paid to load? How does that work? I never understood guys like you. How can you get load pay, which covers the load and unload, and claim you're not getting paid?
