I doubt it goes against dock time, it will be counted as somthing different.

HAHAHAHA wait till they get a bunch of road drivers that havnt workd the dock in 20 years messing up their production #s they are so worried about. we will see
No it is dock time, according to the contract, the driver has seniority over part time personnell.
I don't see where the senoriority issue has anything to do with where the hours are going to be counted against.
Currently it goes against delay pay unless the driver swipes to dock then it gets counted as dock production and it goes against the bills per hour.
If what he said is true then there is no delay pay were just forced to work the dock, that is not a benefit. In the bigger terminals there not gonna have 50 drivers sweeping trailers and emptying trash. We would be doing the job of a dockworker.

I know we are speculating on this and I don't know if you run th road or not.
But currently we get paid 13 somthing/hour to sit in the break room and eat m&ms, most hubs allow you to work the dock if you want to.
That is not delay pay, that is working the dock.
I can see it now the drivers that meet at empty lots will have to sweep the parking lot or sort and seg the grocery loads in there pup.
And under contract you cannot work the dock if it is taking work away from any other dock worker.
I was talking to an indy driver and he says that you are getting paid for delay but that they are making you work. Whether its cleaning the garbage from the pits or sweeping out trailers, they are not sitting and getting paid.
Well I agree, but if I were a business owner who had to pay people who was just sitting around, I too would put them to work, I am sure most probably expected that, or atleast I would think so......
And it will count as dock production, I guess a few part time people will be going home if it is that slow. Or the loads are not out in time.
WHAT A SUCK ***. YOU MUST BE A MANAGER. AND YOUR KNEES MUST HURT FROM ALL THE SUCKING YOUR MUST HAVE TO DO. TO KEEP YOUR JOB.I doubt it goes against dock time, it will be counted as somthing different.
you havnt lost your delicate sence of humer have you woodnnn...
If drivers are expected to throw freight, sweep etc. when our loads are not ready, then why shouldn't dispatchers, dock supervisors, terminal managers, etc. be forced to do the same when the phones aren't ringing or when their reports are all finished or they have no meetings to attend? Sounds fair to me. If I have to perform tasks outside of my chosen career, to get payed for my time, then so shouldn't the terminal manager! Where am I going wrong here? Elvis out.....
when I was a super., and had drivers waiting I was told to have them run rails or pick up mty`s, I offered it but didn`t tell them they had too. it was in the book, if you turned it down they didn`t have to pay you. thats why I offered, i`d tell em to go out and clean their truck or something, out of site of the bosses.
