Yep!!!!Is this happening at any other barn's too , where the city Driver's are running out of hours by Friday noon ?? company is really spinning out of control lately !!
Or come in for a few hours on the dock.Yes ever day. We have drivers work over their 14 just to get the next day off. What happened to covering your bid time? Our managing team is clueless.
Wow. That's crazy. How the heck did they ever start letting that happen? Sounds like the inmates are running he asylum.Yes ever day. We have drivers work over their 14 just to get the next day off. What happened to covering your bid time? Our managing team is clueless.
That's not bad....at our barn the dispatchers supervisors and TM don't show up on Friday....not sure if they ran themselves out of hours or not? :DIs this happening at any other barn's too , where the city Driver's are running out of hours by Friday noon ?? company is really spinning out of control lately !!
Between UE's, FMLA and the forgotten contractual earned days off, this barn has become a business nightmare. It's funny back in the day we used to bust the sales reps balls about not getting the freight. Now I here the reps asking management how they are to grow the business if you can't get drivers to work. Wow how the shoe is on the other foot.That's not bad....at our barn the dispatchers supervisors and TM don't show up on Friday....not sure if they ran themselves out of hours or not? :D
Since Jan. 2016 we have had 6 city Driver's Quit and One new hire , but good news is they have added more trap trailer's for freight we can't delivery with Driver shortage !Just got word that another driver quit yesterday. That's a total of three drivers in two weeks, that new hiring program is working great....better put some more posters on the drivers room wall. By the way that's just road drivers I don't know if any city guys have left.
In Milwaukee city, Since Jan we have had 4 retire, 4 quit, and currently have 4 discharges waiting hearings. There are probably about 35 that can go anytime they are ready. And now we are about to enter work comp season. We are literally hiring anyone with a pulse.[/QUOTE. Discharges for what? They never stick down here.
I thought if you go over 14 hours & one minute that counts as your 16 hour day and cant do it again for 7 more days?Yes ever day. We have drivers work over their 14 just to get the next day off. What happened to covering your bid time? Our managing team is clueless.
Sorry to disagree partner, but please do not say driver shortage, when it has always been a pay and benefit shortage, for all carriers. It is like they said in Field of Dreams. If you pay them, they will come....Since Jan. 2016 we have had 6 city Driver's Quit and One new hire , but good news is they have added more trap trailer's for freight we can't delivery with Driver shortage !
You are both right. There IS a driver shortage for some companies.......because of their sub-standard pay and benefits package.Sorry to disagree partner, but please do not say driver shortage, when it has always been a pay and benefit shortage, for all carriers. It is like they said in Field of Dreams. If you pay them, they will come....
Yes your are correct partner , pay them and they will come !! "SHOW ME THE MONEY" as Jamie would say !!!Sorry to disagree partner, but please do not say driver shortage, when it has always been a pay and benefit shortage, for all carriers. It is like they said in Field of Dreams. If you pay them, they will come....
