Estes | City drivers turn into linehaul drivers on the weekend!!!

Can someone answer me how can a bunch of city drivers like a pack of hungry dogs run all the loads on the weekends??

Could be because there's a lot of freight to move where you are,or they were asked to and Ill bet what they are pulling are pups because the OTR drivers Estes hires for next to nothing don't have doubles endorsement maybe their hours were cut during the week and their trying to make it up.
 
When they leave a road driver home because of lack of freight they don't give us the option of running a city load, they just tell us to stay home. If they would stop them from running our freight on the weekends maybe we would get to work more often instead of getting told to stay home.
 
there is not enough of xtra board drivers:hysterical:
Well when it gets to the point that we're all extra board, then they'll b***h and complain all of us are jammed up at terminals and the regular runs aren't getting done. Management morons and dispatch dummies - may the farce be with them.

I see your point,if you had to stay home during the week you should be first in line to run on the weekends .Im a city driver and iV run on the weekends a few times and have been paid whatever extraboards top pay is,are these city drivers new,that would save them a few pennys. I run out of a small terminal so Im lucky enough to not have all the bullshit you bigger terminals have.On a different note ,do you know a driver by the name of Tolbert,he runs into our terminal (071)good man that one is,funny as hell.Stay Safe

justbeinapain. your name says it all. get your head outta yer rump! Estes will not even think of hiring you unless you have "doubles, triples,and haz-mat",on your license. I think you may have just been busted as a office personel or someone who needs to turn off Springer and find a job. I totally agree with monkeywrench! (more to follow up on this red button issue)!

I'd be willin to bet my right nut you've never been farther that 500 miles from your home terminal. You better take a look around the system, and see how we are all jammed up in the motels,bunkhouses, home,and terminal parking lots!:smilie_132:

Heads not in my rump son,I said OTR drivers Estes contracts out do not have doubles endorsement which a lot of them don't man asked a question and I gave some reasons why it might have happened.Also,Im P&D and didnt really appreciate the pack of dogs remark.

you just cannot pick up on sarcasm
 
I just started the xtra brd recently and was told all along i'd be running 5 days so why did they have me run 6? (not that i really minded)
 
It happens. When I was extraboard I'd start reminding Central what day I was supposed to be home a couple of days ahead of time. Sometimes they forget how to count to 5.
 
Some of them must forget how to be polite and helpful too. One of them was so rude, I felt like telling him to go F himself.
 
Funny how you guys are complaining about the same thing they have been doing for awhile. See not much has changed on the Extra board, sit and wait, the Big E way. And Estes has kinda become the Swift of the LTL industry, don't listen to the guy that blew smoke up your :moon2: when he said you would be home every 5 days. Should be a HUB or City driver, they been trying now for a couple years on how to run like Fed Ex, Con way, etc....
