1. Can you explain the difference between a line haul driver and a hub driver? How busy do they keep team drivers that are low on the board?
Ltl slows down in the winter. If it gets bad we rotate and let everyone work
Can I get a run to say....Wichita and not work the dock? Its to cold or its to hot, is that asking to much?
Estes sure is picky! How can you fault a guy for wanting to start at the top?
I need to drop Mildews name more, then I may be able to get on.
Hub and Linehaul run freight from terminal to terminal. Hub drivers also work the dock. Linehaul does not.
Teams run pretty good most of the year.
1 hub run has been added in our district in the last 5 years, the rest have been linehaul.. I'm sure the numbers differ from region to region, but there seems to be more linehaul than hub these days down here....By the way Hub Drivers are paid less by the mile, something like 4 cents less, I can't remember I was a Hub driver one time worked the dock made good money then they took that away and decided the only way to make money is the Road/ Linehaul, you get the miles and the pay is a lot better.
The bad side is Estes is about saving money anyway they can these days and they are finding anyway they know how to get rid of Linehaul..
That guy ain't fat enough to be a Linehaul driver!Hub driver
Linehaul driver
That guy ain't fat enough to be a Linehaul driver!
How are P&D drivers paid? Estes has an opening in Neenah, Wi for a P&D driver. What do hub drivers do as compared to line haul?
.4785 per mile. We're getting a raise in January so add about a penny to that. Linehaul currently tops out at .5585
Benefits are not very expensive. I have nearly everything and its about $75 a week pre-tax.
I've heard a different number for this year but I've been waiting to see if anyone else heard the same thing. Happens every year.
