The guy with 3 years linehaul would get 1st pick over the others. It wouldn't matter if they had 35 years hub and 2 years 11 months linehaul. He would still get the leftovers behind the 36 month linehaul driver. Vacation would would go to the guy with the most company time
Estes | When are the Re-bids coming
- Thread starter FLYINGBY
- Start date
Have also heard of alphabet, on last name, no proof, but basically like mildews coin toss
.
I have heard talk of this very thing, that would be more tolerable I guess, only 1 board would be impossible. Well some would benefit, some would take it in the shorts. Everyone has a different scenario that plays out,and that scenerio dictates who gets what. Thinking about it, I would jump a few spots

Yea kinda like that wall-e robot always having to recharge, 'course with city drivers its the shade tree.
We just lost a 17 year driver that left the city to run the road. I remember him saying night time running wasn't for him. He got bumped off his daytime 400 mile schedule then went to 400 mile night run and lost his job.

I think his point is, if the driver would hve stayed where he was, he would have a job...Most city drivers think we have it easy...And at times we do..But in my case,I spent 20 years in the city, my body couldn't handle it anymore...I couldn't comtinue doing for my customers like I wanted to...It worked out for me, but most city guys want the city back after a year...

I understand your point of not wanting to start over in senority. Nobody does. But it's the only way to keep it fair. I had to start over twice.
And yes they all want to go back after first snow storm or bunkroom experience.

Basically real easy who ever has been at Estes the longest with combined Road time, between Linehaul, Hub, Utility, and I would even throw in Team drivers, they really get screwed if they decide to get rid of a team or a guy or gal loses there partner.
Look anybody can work on a hub run, or Utility, or Linehaul why keep them seperate, it just does not work anymore in this company with how big they have become.
It would make things alot more easy, when all the changes come, cause in this buisness there is always gonna be changes.

Let me start another rumor(sorry Dew,I gotta do it)....How much is our raise going to be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me get outta here.."The Dew" is coming....
Gentlemen...Must we re-visit the Rebidding classes again...As a 17 yr linehaul driver at a fairly large southern terminal.Here we go...We as employees hired on some as linehaul,Hub ,City,And utility,And some as even dock who moved up when when the chance was open.....In no way shape or fashion am i trying to say that one job at the big e is more important than the other.But lets dive right on in to the driver classification deal once more.It is very clear in our bidding and classification rules as to drivers moving from one to another and coming back to your origanal class.With that being said i started here 17 yrs ago as a linehaul driver so i was once on the very bottom of the board and ran extra board for 3 yrs before i could even think about gettind a turn or schedual run and no hope of a new tractor in my 1st 2 yrs.So what im reading here is that some drivers think that they should jump ahead of others ,When in fact if some of you are or were city or hub or utility in many cases have had at one time or the other choices to go linehaul and start building linehaul senority.But for one reason or the other it came down to being on the EXTRABOARD AND STARTING AT THE BOTTOM.Being gone for a full week at a time .Not this go out one day and home the next or maybe one overnight stay thing they call the Board now lol...Years ago when ya left on sunday evening YR ASS didnt see yr home terminal againtill maybe friday.Let me also add the two drivers to a room hotel stay.The non a/c trucks.No transponders for the turnpikes.I mean do i need to say more.Not at all trying to be a dick,But cmon guys....You simply cant jump over someone cause ya got 20 yrs in the city.AND THAT SUMS IT UP WHY WE HAVE CLASSIFICATIONS AND WHY IT WILL NEVER CHANGE.....hAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE....
So if I do the math youran the extraboard when the northernmost terminal was Edison? BTW don't know of many extraboarders getting home every other day.
