I am all about a person trying to better themselves. I really don' agree with the length of training that these guys are getting but, like all things in life some guys will hit the ground running others will fail with that being said here are my observations and complaints.
1. Dock guy goes thru the training....spends time training on line and city.
2. Because of the high failure and accident rates Safety has stated that these driver most of which will be "utility" or extra board can not run line haul for a period of 6 months and must be in the city for that time. At large terminals this isn't a real issue for us smaller terminals it's a killer. He came on in September this means that coming into and thru the slowest time of the year we have a extra city driver on the streets.
3. This guy is a rookie but, receives a years of service rate, our little rookie driver is making TOP driver pay.
Yes i have seen the proof of pay rate black and white, this isn't a "came from a reliable source crap"
So we have all taken a cut in our hours that way our rookie can drive the city.....at top pay.....yet can not do the job that he bid due to the fact he is a rookie.
Have a great weekend y'all
