Uniform shirts are only required for linehaul. You can wear jeans but the city can’t. They do pay for them but you must wash them. When you’re running the system my friend anything is possible especially in Atlanta. Could be a simple turn or a lay down. You need to pack accordingly. Dude, if you get the job in Atlanta you will beg for time off and you damn sure won’t have to babysit your phone.
Not in Dallas or Garland. P&D must wear full uniform including pants. It’s not enforced for drivers on the favorite list.
Never was! I simply refused to kiss the dispatchers ass. Besides that too many other guy’s keep their lips permanently affixed to the dispatchers ass leaving me no chance to even snuggle up to it even if I wanted to.
I run out of the Houston Region, we're slow due too oilfield going down during Covid-19 pandemic. So most of the system drivers are running between Atlanta & Memphis & Dallas.... Atlanta and Memphis are way under staffed, Central Dispatch will work you like a borrowed mule if you let them...... You can pretty much leave anytime your reset is up if you want out of Atlanta.
:Yep. Not unless this symbolmeans favorite.....
: list! Absolutely.
I hated the camera’s but they are on 24/7 ... honestly they aren’t that bad but they did get me a few times. The company really doesn’t want to fire you so you will get plenty of warnings. Now being caught on a handheld phone is grounds for immediate termination but most things just get you a slap on the wrist. Smoking or dipping isn’t allowed but they will usually look the other way. If you share a truck with a non-smoker i wouldn’t advise it. The Bluetooth is total BS because they aren’t allowed to be used while driving but that one can be hard to prove since many drivers talk or sing to themselves. Despite everything it’s a great company with excellent benefits and you’d be a fool not to take it if offered. That do frown upon former union drivers and although it’s probably illegal to discriminate against them it is done. The good outweighs the bad IMO. Just remember there’s a microphone right above your head too so try to refrain from what you say. Another words be careful when you start cussing at the idiots that do some stupid stuff. They frown against you going ballistic. This is the fastest growing LTL company in America today so job security is pretty high. They will be on OD’s level very soon. Stock is soaring since COVID-19.
Ok, it may take awhile but they will get there. Thanks for setting the record straight.
You never know, sometimes a turn and sometimes a lay down so it’s always best to pack. You could definitely be out all week so just be prepared.
That actually happens a lot.
Its up to you.... If you want to stay out all week just let them know. Just remember if you tell them that you want to stay out all week Central Dispatch will remember that Forever.
