- Thread starter Griz
- Start date
Yep , most all barns been using them for a long time , can't hire nobody , but for some reason our greedy parent company old yellow thinks we can run a trucking company without Driver's ? And thinks we can hire Driver's when we are the lowest paid in the LTL Industry !!

NO! Grieve it! No Cartage companies in AK and many many other terminals.

If the Company is allowed to do it for 6 months then it becomes past practice and you will NEVER get that work back.

Or ******* B.A. Used to say -Your lucky to have a job. Now get your Ass back to f-em work.
Sounds like me needs an illness to hit all city drivers,
Aweso,so you don't need me on Monday and Fridays ,no problem
Been using them in Joliet for a long time
Hoodock do you know the percentage they use for cartage? Or like we were told if we have 12 call offs he'll call for 12 cartage drivers. This is going to get ugly.

Saw a cartage rig when I visited Detroit today. A tractor older and more beat up than anything Holland has left the yard with a tailgate pup. All I could do is shake my head in disgust.
Yes and no. Just say we are overwhelmed.
They use as many as they can get away with.
Overwhelmed indeed like most barns are lately ! good thing we got a lot of trap trailers !

Carolinas is licking their chops for freight. Just enough work to keep city guys going. Road is struggling to clear boards. Wish they would lay these guys off so they can find work elsewhere and if they come back when called back good if not tough :
: Ware/Cook for playing with people's lives.

MI isn't using them. I'm sitting home on a CC day. just finished my wifely duties, and getting ready to drink some lunch. 
Besides, a year and a half or so, we won't have to worry about it.

It's not the hourly rate, it's how much you keep. Your drivers take home pay is higher than ours for same 50 hour week

It IS the hourly rate. It is the lowest in the LTL industry. That's not up for debate, that is a fact.

You aren't following what I'm saying. When you factor in OT and the free medical holland drivers take home more than sefl drivers. The hourly rate may be higher where I am, but my insurance takes over 100 per week plus a 401k contribution of 100 plus no OT ever and you arrive at a lower take home amount than a lower hourly rate holland driver

Then I would suggest that you leave SEFL for greener pastures. Apply at Holland if you think that's better than what you have now.
