The "bid once a year" is coming to the other Estes Terminals.
The change has arrived... Effective 11/21/08 All bid runs will be re-posted and re-bidded on shortly. There will be no weekend work. All single drivers will work Mon.-Fri. (East & west) Weekend are going to be for team drivers only. Estes doesn't know how to lay-off drivers. Therefore the folks that don't have a scheduled run are fix'n to starve to death in the up comming months This is the info. I have recieved from another driver over the phone. May be a rumor....
The news is that they are going to re- bid all scheduled runs and run monday - friday.
Here's another idea they come up with to try and save fuel mileage
So if they do this that means I could possibly take a scheduled run because I chose to stay extra board and passed on a couple runs I could have took.
I got more time on the road then a few of the guys that have schedule runs.
But hey when it was busy I was gettin the miles, now I'm sittin at home and those guys are runnin on schedule.
Just keep them things in the east. Out here you have a flat you are getting towed no one carries them in stock yet. I think it will change but any and all trucks n trailers carry spares with them.
