Flat Rate for Dropped Trailers...

[R&L_PHI]

This just started at our terminal last week,and the rates are ridiculous,No traffic or average delays added into rate. Flat rate for dropped trailers.......Okay.......Pay me flat rate for 1.5 stops per hour....Hmmmmm Let me see......Average 20 stops a day.......that should pay me approximately 13.33 hours a day.

They have doing this at our terminal now for over a year. Its a slap in the damn face, you work hard all day, 10-12 hours, and then they have you come in and clock out and do a flat rate run.

On these runs, you NEVER make what you would had you stayed on the clock. (Usually substancially less)

Just another way do desroy morale, and take from the driver.

From outside this to me is very unfair how can they justify this as not being city p&d?

They dont justify anything to us,they just do it and dont care. Sorry to the folks that will say Im being negative but it really is true.

Easy for you to say. You don't have to work for a flat rate to fix trucks and aren't you the one that doesn't even work at R+L anymore?

"Aren't" suggests a question not a statement of fact. Im sorry I confused you with the other mechanic that was on here and left the company however the other part of my post was a statement and I still stand by it.

You don't have to work for a flat rate to fix trucks
