i did hear about P&D to line you lost all senority, that was G.I.'s policy also. however when Estes took over they tried to change the bid policy to Estes policy and some G.I. people did not like the policy, so they did what they did, and now we have what we have.

what does it matter if you come off a run in 90 days or not? a run still has to be filled. if guy #1 can't bid a run because he hasn't been on his run for 90 days and guy #2 comes off his to take the new run then guy#2's run now has to be filled. then guy #3 takes a new run then his run has to be filled, and so on. there is still going to be jumping around and runs to be filled no matter how you work it. and if you don't have the senority to hold a run then you should be bumped. i can tell by your post though that you must be a junior man that fell into a good run and doesn't want to lose it. that's cool though everyone has their opinions. have a good day.
if you change classifications (city to road, road to city, city to hub, etc, etc) you do lose all senority. when i worked in baltimore i had guys come on the road that had way more years then me but i had road senority. i didn't think it was fair to those men.

you lose your senority for that classification, but if you goback to that classification you regain what you had before.

a good run? no. steady run? yes
i seriously doubt my run will be messed with because it comes from a breakbulk and goes to a breakbulk. its not my fault a guy bids on a high mile run that meets a dark terminal, freight gets slow and is surprised thier is no return freight and it gets cancelled. now who looks stupid. i dont like alot of things about this company and i want things to change. because of the above i dont want this changed obviously because this is how its always been done lol.
but i can see an arguement on both sides.
flip side to this i have 5+ years company senority but since TM screwed me getting into linehaul 3 times i have atleast 10 guys ahead of me. of which i could of had thier runs which is better than mine. i hate the fact that this happened, but i cant be mad at the guys. oh well...

I just had to call central on our H.M. yesturday to try to find out how I rank on seniority before deciding on a bid. They got my T.M. in a heap of trouble. He is new, but before that it went in order of relation, friendship, hire date, and classification can take a leap. Now it turns out that a driver that always said he was #1 just dropped to @3rd from bottom. These rules are odd, but I like the security. Plus and minus with everyone. Figure it out and work with it.
