You will sit by phone at both places. That’s the way it works.What center would be better for a road driver? Need full-time, not sit by a phone if that's even possible. Thanks!
Thanks! Not for me then.You will sit by phone at both places. That’s the way it works.
Pretty much like that at all ltl companies.Thanks! Not for me then.
If your on extra board they do.Pretty much like that at all ltl companies.
Copy that appreciate the info. It's just confusing to see all of the full-time class A road and city jobs posted on indeed at YRC and Holland. Doesn't make much sense to me.With the closing and relocation of New Penn's corporate HQ. And the comments from Hawkins about increasing density by consolidating terminals within similar geographic operating areas, this is not a time to be near the bottom of any seniority list. Teamster drivers as well as dock and clerical operations will be adversely effected.
All of YRCW's operating companies are DESPERATE for drivers. Even, in linehaul, with the increase in "purchased transportation" service is suffering. Because there are not enough P&D drivers to complete the daily pick ups or deliveries.Copy that appreciate the info.

They're making road drivers do more en route pickups and deliveries!All of YRCW's operating companies are DESPERATE for drivers.

It’s not an unreasonable request. Efficiency is the reason.They're making road drivers do more en route pickups and deliveries!

Said the auto worker who installed 7/16 nuts to the auto worker who installed 1/2 nuts, ‘that’s not my job!’Surely you jest, line drivers get our hands dirty? heaven forbid!
In the nearly 30 years on the road, I made many en-routes. As long as I had the hours I did the job.It’s not an unreasonable request. Efficiency is the reason.

I've made enroute deliveries on a sleeper run. God forbid a lazyass road driver have to get out and work a minute. .lolThey're making road drivers do more en route pickups and deliveries!
The times, they are a changin’!Just the opposite here, in 35 yrs, I can count the times on 1 hand I touched a piece of freight.
The times, they are a changin’!
In ‘the good old days’ of regulation, that was policy and practice.
Now days, we are all expected to do many things outside of our ‘classifications.’
Not a bad thing, imho. It’s just difficult to find new hires who realize mastering all facets of the industry is the new norm.
Did it once on a sleeper run. Dropped a pup in Basalt, Colorado. Left our lead in Glenwood Springs and took the single to a customer and spotted it at their dock. Adelanto was going to send us to Denver and then send it back to Basalt with a broker. I told them it was pretty dumb to drag it all the way to Denver and then back to Basalt. (360 extra miles). Roadway paid us hourly from Glenwood to Basalt and back, AND we had a very happy customer.I've made enroute deliveries on a sleeper run. God forbid a lazyass road driver have to get out and work a minute. .lol
