It's probably in an area like where I'm at. The Roadway terminal where I work has gotten extreamly busy with Home Depot freight since, very sadly, the local Reddaway terminal has been closed.
 
Hmmmm, these are gaining terminals in the COO that are hiring. Wonder if they are trying to fill anticipated slots the COO won't fill. Then there won't be work opp transfers available after.

Hmmmm, I wonder if they plan on hiring 4 hour casuals for the dock work ? Nah, team Yellow wouldn't do that? Hmm, but Lancaster is losing 93 local cartage. Oh Geez, maybe the IBT can figure out the "fuzzy math"... I forgot, the utility man is gonna DO IT ALL!

are they hiring in albuquerque? since that's where i assume your from. i would think it's hard to get a job there since there are already so many drviers looking for work (closed reddaway terminals).
 
Can someone explain exactly what the duties are for the Combination City Driver / Dock Worker position? Do you work all day on the dock when they need you to?

Basically, work the dock and if they need you to Jockey or City Run they send you out to do it. At least, that is how it is at LCP.
 
At an EOL you do pickups, deliveries and switches as well as work the dock loading and unloading and yard hostling.

yea that's the first thing I looked at but the ad is specificaly for road drivers not city /dock the even mention in the ad home "home most days" so I'm not sure what gives,and it dosen't make much sense to run a nationwide ad campaign for 5 road drivers. I'd read the new better titled thread about it but when I click on the link it's not there right now

If I was looking for a job in Albuquerque New Mexico, I would try The Walmart Distribution Center in Los Lunas, Yellow Freight(sleepers),ABF casual dockworker, Shamrock Foods, Nobel Sysco, RAC Transport or the Serta Mattress Factory.
