Default Recommendations for new drivers?

I'm interested to hear how things are over in this camp. I've been with Con-Job for nearly 3 years now, and let's just say that I've not been impressed. And I recently was contacted by a terminal manager about an app I filed a few months back. So I'm curous to know what the skinny is over here.

I think that right now, the most important thing for me is to have a steady schedule and paycheck. So are the new hires all on-call guys or do they get some sort of set schedule (like set start times), or what?

Thanks everyone!

Not sure I want to say on here. It would not surprise me to learn that the Con-Job management would be watching and try to hunt me down. But I will say that I am in Idaho. And since there's two terminals in that state and most everyone would leave if they could, I'm faily safe I think.

Thanks! THat's my main reason for asking, is because of the striking and assorted other problems they were having just a short time ago. Are the waters smoothing out or are they looking to hire because they lost some guys?

Not really sure what is going on there, it sure is quiet though. I do not think the company and the union are even talking at all. I think everyone is waiting for the other shoe to fall at YRC, you know what I mean.
