Ive noticed the same thing, last couple years employers pulling some scummy moves. Can't even use the job boards (Monster, Indeed, etc) if you dont want to be hounded by a bunch of off shore recruiters. Show up to an interview at the arranged time (early actually) only for the entire facility to be closed. Get hung up on when asking a reasonable question. Now im apparently un-hireable because i didnt start flipping burgers 6 months ago.

I let it go and moved on. Maybe a week later, I get a voicemail from UPS, a woman who sounded American this time, asking me to call back about the position if I'm still intetested. I call back, wait on hold for over an hour, a guy answers from what sounds like an Indian call-center. He pulls up my application and the position is open. Yay!!!!!!!!!! He runs my background and tells me to call back in a day or two to schedule the driving test. Double Yay!!!!!!!!!
I call back, wait on hold over an hour, a guy answers from what sounds like an Indian call-center. He pulled up my application, position is still open, background came back good. We start to schedule the driving test. Uhhh ohhhh. Call drops. I wait a few minutes thinking he'll call me back, but nothing. So I call back, wait on hold over an hour, again, get a different person on the phone. They pull up my application, Guess what????????
THE POSITION IS FULLmjd4277, Gearjammin' Penguin, Cat sdp and 2 others Thank this. -
Most drivers I hear asking for hourly want it to replace CPM all together. And some try to push that into sleeper time as well.
The problem I have been hearing is both the customer and drivers suffer due to drivers moving slower to get the hourly time up which on the back end makes the amount of deliveries less because now that 14 got chewed up. The CPM doesn't make up for the lost hourly wages if you speed up. Causes a test and see fiasco dependent on the driver on how to maximize.
Again. That's just from the summaries I've gotten. I left Schneider back in November '22, before a lot of accounts got switched over. I have no clue how it effects full OTR. From the sound of it a bigger nightmare as I do know when you are in a live load/unload situation you are Off Duty still losing time on your 14. Which means no hourly pay and no accessorial (remember they got rid of it in the name of hourly). So in effect it feels like you are donating time to the company. Original idea for drivers asking for hourly as I caught on was for full hourly time. On duty, off duty etc. If you're in the truck you are on the clock. Unless in a day cab no company is going to go that route.LtlAnonymous, Lonesome and MSWS Thank this. -
Schneider takes that ability away on the 14 by prohibiting the split-sleeper. And they fundamentally change the way a driver can use their 14 by prohibiting personal conveyance. They let customers steal time from drivers, and then they deny drivers a legal tool to find safe harbor when the customer doesn't leave them with enough time.
In this case, yeah... They need to pay for the full 14 every day.
