What happened to all the dockhands??Ive heard a few drivers asking this question.The new load plan appears to send more freight into this terminal,yet it appears the dockworkers have disappeared.
Flooding the terminal with shuttle drivers help the situation but is not a fix-all solution.It is a major break terminal that from a drivers veiwpoint appears to be under-manned.Their are mini breaks that have more dockhands.
If their is a hiring freeze,why cant we get some city drivers from that terminal who may not be getting in sufficient hours to volunteer for dock help??That would be utilizing the current workforce to the max,freight could get moved,drivers could make $$,and cut down on wait times.
The supervision from that terminal has never been in question,as I think most drivers will attest,as it is probably one of the more capable in the system.However it takes alot of ants to move molehills,not just a few...
