I only care about myself screw those guys that lost their runs!!
Fixed it for ya
I only care about myself screw those guys that lost their runs!!
Like I said, we’ve had situations where guys got laid off but no one was forced to go. Some went back to the City if openings were available and some left the company altogether, but no one was forced to transfer.
Yo Lube!
Take IR's post into consideration, what is it about the certain service centers hiring more drivers after they follow the freight that chaps your hide??
Is it because even though A lost three runs to B, they gained other runs or work for three or four new drivers that the original three didn't have to transfer for???
Essentially only days later they are putting 4 back on? That’s egregious and rises to the level of incompetence of the highest order. Regardless of where your loyalties lie, policy or not, this stinks and could happen anywhere within the organization. There was clearly no thought of planning, just shuffle employee numbers around on the paperwork in front of them and have at it haphazardly.Yo Lube!

With all due respect Lube, and I do respect your opinion, I’m kinda like BD and I just don’t understand the “chapped hide”...were the 3 guys who followed the freight from center A forced from the bottom or were they more senior guys who chose to leave?? I could see, understand, and even agree with your point if they were jr guys on the bottom who were forced but being senior guys who made a choice, I just can’t get there.Essentially only days later they are putting 4 back on?

You never can that's the problem. You all act like it's no big deal to pack you're family up and move on a whim, guess you never have been put in that position or maybe you might understand.
You don’t know me or what I’ve been through...Truth hurts sorry!!
No...the driver can’t return unless a position is availableSo say I took a job at center A. I’m the bottom guy and a year and a half later the guy that transferred to center B decided to come back I’d be bumped out of a job?
You don’t know me or what I’ve been through...
Stay on topic plz

Perhaps I misunderstood your post but I’ll have to correct an incorrect statement I think you made...when a driver “follows the freight” to another center, that run is not theirs forever, they’re simply following the freight to that center. The driver who dovetailed in by seniority can bid on whatever run they choose, they’re not obligated to take the run they followed. Also, any driver(s) senior to the driver who dovetailed in can take the new run if they so choose.Not sure of ALL of the details on this process, BUT... It's long standing policy to allow drivers to "follow the freight", when runs are moved. This is actually a pretty good (and fair) option for those who would otherwise lose these runs. It is also my understanding that drivers who follow the freight are allowed to keep those runs forever, unless they bid off of them. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Without the above option those effected would be pushed back through the ranks, via the bid process, bumping everyone in their path. This would cause more harm and disruption to center A, than letting the drivers follow. Drivers at center B remain unaffected, initially, if the drivers follow, since they never had those runs before.
The 2 year option to return, with seniority, sounds wrong and excessive, if accurate.
Is there a better option/policy that should be in place when runs are moved? Who exactly is harmed by this current policy? Seems to me, the biggest disruption potential applies to those who "exercise the option".
Thanks for the info. I was told that when following the freight, the driver(s) "could" stay on that run, until they bid off of it. Then they fall into the "pool", based on seniority. Again, I don't mind being wrong, but I was told that one of 4 drivers that we had follow the freight to CLT, did stay on the particular run... Forever, as to not lose it. X-43, I think it was called, at the time.Perhaps I misunderstood your post but I’ll have to correct an incorrect statement I think you made...when a driver “follows the freight” to another center, that run is not theirs forever, they’re simply following the freight to that center.

I agree, the option to follow the freight by seniority is the best option IMO.
Again, the option to return used to be six months. I think it may have changed a while back but not sure if it’s two years...it may be...but drivers can’t return just because they want to, a position has to be available first in order for them to return. In smaller centers it’s probably rare but in larger centers it happens more often.
