Estes | Utility Tractor Trailer Driver

No, utility is used differently at every terminal, but the job discription is you will work p@d, dock,fill in schedual runs, basically where ever they need help, you will be asked to fill in.Now some guys fill in mostly all schedual runs at the bigger terminals,and would be home every day, but a wise person would not want to bank on it
 
I don't know but they will use and abuse you on this, but they love that Category to death, will keep a Utility guy that just started here and let us been here 11 year veteran Linehaul guys go when it gets slow.
 
Extraboard is all linehaul, you take extra runs to whichever terminal it needs to go to. You're gone all week.

Utility means you might run linehaul one day, P&D the next, work the dock the next, be a yard jockey for a couple of days, etc... Or you might stay home for a few days. It's not a bad gig at a big terminal.
 
...or you might run linehaul for a solid month and then P&D for a month. You just don't know from week to week what you'll be doing.
 
You need to be part machine and part robot to work utility. it was designed for real truck drivers. it separates the men from the boys.
 
Still haven't heard anything from Athens as to whether I'm going to get hired or not. I've called and bugged the crap out of the t/m but seem to be getting nowhere. He's hired 2 guys while I've been calling him. Told me yesterday he's hired all he's gonna hire but will be putting more on soon. I'm beginning to wonder if there's a reason why he's not considering me seeing's how I've let him know how interested I am. I guess the guys he's hired have been straight p&d so maybe he's waiting 'til he can justify putting me on as utility. I don't know, but the limbo is killing me!
 
They are putting a new Caterpillar plant up in Athens. Amazon is going to give everyone all they can stand shortly. It shouldn't be long.
