First of all I know that most line haul drivers make more income than the P & D drivers, but how many line haul drivers make $75,000.00 per year. Does that get any ones attention? There is a line haul driver at ENC that does make over $75K and it is not so much how much he makes, but how he does it. Question is why is it allowed? This monster was created a long time ago and has been hidden by a lot of upper management. Here is how he does it. He comes in every night and punches in as a freight clerk around 7:45 p.m. After punching in he signs on the computer to see what load he is pulling that night and then he goes out and pre trips, washes, and fuels his truck (something other line haul drivers don’t get to do on the clock). Then he comes back on the dock and stands around and smokes with the front line leader and other drivers. His cut time is 9:30 p.m. Out of that 1.75 hours he actually spends 30 minutes on the computer lining up the peddle runs for the next day. This is one of the problems, actually this should be handled by the a.m. front line leader, but he doesn’t have enough sense to do it himself. At 9:30 p.m. I assume this driver punches out and takes his load to GBO. Once at GBO he punches in as a dock worker and spends about 4 hours on the dock and then drives back to ENC. Once he bumps the dock at ENC he goes in and punches in as a freight clerk again, signs onto the computer does a few adjustments to peddle runs and then he goes out and drops his trailer, fuels his truck (something other line haul drivers don’t get to do on the clock). Then he returns to the dispatch office where he runs the daily reports for the SCD. It takes him roughly 1 hour to do this. Why does this driver do the work for the FLL (Marcus C.) and the SCD(Gary T.)? These two employees are salary and an hourly person should not be doing the work for these two. The SCD was asked this question and answer was that if he was getting paid so well to do this why didn’t anyone else bid on his run. How stupid do you think we really are Gary T.? Doing yours and Marcus C’s job is not part of any bid. All this stuff was implicated way back by our past FLL Ben S. and Mr. Ron Z. when SCD Randy B. resigned to help out some five or six years ago. I thought when we got a new SCD it would stop, but it never did. Mike S. (past SCD) and Gary T. (present SCD) let him continue doing there jobs for them. Now that this whole scenario has been put into words lets do the math.
1.75 hrs p.m. @ $20.00 $ 35.00
Paid mileage ENC to GBO and back $164.00
4 hrs GBO dock @ 20.00 $80.00
1 hr. a.m. @ $20.00 $20.00
$299.00 per day
$299.00 X 5 days = $1495.00 X 49 weeks = $73,255.00
Not sure how he gets paid for vacation, but if he got $1000.00 per week for 3 weeks the annual salary would be $76,255.00. ALTHOUGH THESE FIGURES AS FAR AS PAY GOES IS CORRECT HIS HOURS MAY VARY FROM WEEK TO WEEK, BUT HE DOES MAKE OVER $75K PER YEAR. So how many drivers for Averitt make this kind of salary? I wonder why they say line haul is the biggest cost to Averitt. Well the way I see it, if Gary T. and Marcus C. did there job and Steve H. was cut from doing there job for them it would save ENC’s bottom line($13,475.00 per year). The thing about it is when Steve H. is on vacation they have to do their own jobs then. I know Mr. Ron Z. knows this is going on so why is he allowing it? Looks like someone in payroll or at corporate would catch on. Kind of sounds corrupt to me. Steve H. is good at what he does, but he either needs to just drive or become a SCD!!!
