Question:With cut times at the FAC’s, most senior linehaul drivers are seeing less hours. It does not affect me much, I’m often last.
What's an 8 hr day? The average at my barn is 10+ per day. You want an 8 hr day you better take PTO. Now with summer coming I sure that number will go to 12+.Question:
We in the southern region have been told that if they ever implemented ot after 8 down here that hours would be trimmed down to 8 per day like y'all's. How many northern/western p and d guys only get 8 per day out there?
We are told y'all's hours are managed tightly. Who'd thought they were lying.What's an 8 hr day? The average at my barn is 10+ per day. You want an 8 hr day you better take PTO. Now with summer coming I sure that number will go to 12+.
An 8 hr day at most NE barn is only a dream
Some city drivers do work 8 hours. Depends on the start time and length of run. It is rare. Our bottom two flex drivers have been coming in at 07:00 and working 12 plus. Managing ot has always depended on fright volume and staffing levels. At my place, it’s not so much that we are busy, more that we are short handed, or a little of both.We are told y'all's hours are managed tightly. Who'd thought they were lying.

every time they try we get a call from some big national account manger asking why we did deliver or pick there freight and then time management goes out the windowWe are told y'all's hours are managed tightly. Who'd thought they were lying.
Old op but I'm bored. Night Linehaul. Hour and half working outbound, 184 to break bulk, 130 to meet & back, 184 home=13 hours/day.I'm the original poster on this thread and invite those from other companies to post how long their day is.
Some of your Con-way brothers and sisters may be looking for information about what their next job may be like.
Short term disability pay was changed recently to 60% of the base pay. I hope you are back to work.
With the difficulty hiring drivers , and with a lot of locations being busy when it is traditionally slow , I thought I would bump this thread up.
When there is a 10 hour day , I feel like I worked half a day. So used to working twelves.

I do night linehaul in the southeast. My day is normally 13 hours. Some a little more some a little less. But on average 65 hours a week. Life is good.

Every day my peddle is over booked and my pickups are over booked... And then they will do stupid :::::: like put appointment freight on a peddle and tie a driver up for hours sitting in line.

Yup- same. But that's also not new, at least for me.
There's only so much one person can do- so I do that, and everything else is their problem. Helps me relax.
It’s the goal every day. It depends on freight levels, so the 8 thing is a day by day thing. Sometimes it’s possible, sometimes not.Question:
