They hire whether they have freight to haul or not, I will never understand that. And then beat everyone up on hours and cost.
They will never understand that people don't want to live on the Road anymore. There is a small percentage of drivers that like that sort of thing but the majority of us require more home time. The Linehaul system here is screwed up. They could turn more people ,and relay this using less Trucks, ( dual use) , City/Linehaul slip seat and everyone could have more home time. Even the old green board would be better than what they have now.You ain't lying. And than they still keep TLI and other 3rd party carriers in the winter time... I wonder if they hire so many because all the new drivers leave shortly after they start cause being OTR isn't what they thought
There is truth to this but surely we don't want a model like Con-Job where most linehaul drivers work the dock and work 14 hours a day. The green board is a neat idea. Why don't we have that in the south, from what I understand only the northeast territory offers that ?They will never understand that people don't want to live on the Road anymore.

Same here,but cut during the week,especially Mondays and Tuesdays...Go figure.Mandatory work weekends.
Working the dock is not as bad as you would think now a days, 99% pallet freight, and hey, might as well make some money while you're load is getting ready. The Hub operation works fairly well in my opinion.most Hub is 12hrs or less a night.There is truth to this but surely we don't want a model like Con-Job where most linehaul drivers work the dock and work 14 hours a day.
