<p>[QUOTE="david123abc, post: 10642604, member: 59981"]As far as dis patch goes, from what I’ve seen so far, the amount of down time Heniff drivers have while in the system compared to Superior is night and day. Getting to a terminal and sitting 2 or 3 days waiting for a load just doesn’t seem to happen (at least not with anywhere near the same frequency). It may be beneficial if you call your terminal before you get empty, especially on a Friday. With a new way of doing things and sometimes a couple dozen drivers to look after, I can see how you could easily forget about one guy in the fray. I doubt it’s intentional. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don’t think the dispatch integration is completely done yet, so I would assume things will improve once it is and everyone is on board. I’m sure everything is confusing when you’ve got one guy from terminal a being dispatched on one system and another from terminal b on another. FWIW this change to the new dispatch system was already planned at Superior before the buyout, so that was probably going to happen regardless.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the insurance being different between the two companies, it was my understanding everything is the same, can you provide some examples? My insurance ended up being about $6 more, and the coverage is less. I went with the HSA plan, short and long term disability added life insurance, and am putting $10 a week in the HSA. Talking with friends who work for other trucking companies though, it sounds like we’re still on the cheaper side, but we were definitely spoiled with Superior’s insurance costs.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
