We had a guy at 205/BUF that got hired last Friday. (1st day) He got a yard bid today. Thats how desperate we are for drivers. Pretty sad.

So none of the dockworkers want to drive.

So I'm guessing were going by the old Yellow rules where seniority prevails. 7 or so years ago, talking with a couple of Roadway Brothers at one of my dailies, they told me that CDL qualified drivers were forced to bid a CDL bid, even if a burned out city man wanted a dock bid.

The 2 new hires at 309 quit with the quickness. Go sox!!

[screwy louiey]

had a new hire start the other day and the supervisor said we got a trailer to break that has his name all over it. A 1,000 rug trailer (not the little ones) that had to be finger printed & sorted to 5 different customers. Poor guy went on his lunch break and never returned or answered his phone again.

Good worker this guy was but i guess he thought dock work in his mind meant not getting off the forklift

Or maybe he figured the pay and benefits weren't worth what was being asked of him.

The lions share of pay and benefits are given to the 710 family and friends plan at the house of Flynn.
