How about flatbeds, that way freight could be quickly loaded and unloaded from both sides as well as the rear?

There was a time when Walmart was a great job to have.
PT ruined that
No it won’t don’t Sweat the small stuff. a man makes the job. the job doesn’t make the man. Yellow doesn’t Define us. There will be life after yellow .
That would work great on a switch load with say 26 pallets of say shampoo, each weighing 150#, turned sideways, 13 bills, 2 skids each, going from Baltimore to Maine, Or California. No touch, no damage, and should operate real well on revenue.
Let me know how you like it

Yeah we have hub, combo and linehaul. Hub category is linehaul with dock work. Linehaul category has no dock
Didn't they cut some of their benefits they used to be paid all time worked, paid meal breaks and paid sleeper berth but I hear their health insurance sucks now?

I was looking into Estes... They took down the road driver position for a week then it's available again with working dock in the description now.... So what is the deal with that
What a shocker of a comment coming from another union employee. And y’all wonder why Yellow and TForce suck at making money.Just a friendly reminder to the workers:
Should you get “injured “ before the Yellow ship sinks, you’ll be paid 65% of your wages on worker’s compensation for up to 2 years, by a third Party Insurance company that will still be afloat after Yellow’s departure.
Work safe everyone….
Estes has Linehaul runs and extra board that have no dock work. But they also have HUB runs where you linehaul to a terminal and work the dock for a few hours then linehaul back. It’s 95% of the time a van run also. Great job and pays like 77 cent a mile +
Linehaul and extra board top out over 80 cent a mile

I’m thinking it was about 30 years ago.
Then they started PT with Schneider back when Schneider was the lowest paid out there.
Phased out in-house almost completely.
I see it’s coming back now that PT is getting much more expensive to use.
VIDEO: Driver who says he worked for Yellow for 30 years loses it over hearing his pension could be gone
Very upset worker

In his position he has a fiduciary responsibility to act in OUR best interest...meaning put his ego aside.

It depends on what the posting was for… they may have decided to make that a utility/combo position. The road drivers at Estes don’t work the dock.

$.805 on the current pay package, top at 36 months.
So are you saying all non union employees are honest and wouldn't do such a thing???? I thought not...I think Yellow has money problems due to excessive debt, I didn't know TForce had money problems.... please enlighten us on that....What a shocker of a comment coming from another union employee. And y’all wonder why Yellow and TForce suck at making money.
