They don't want to pay the time and half i guess with it being slow. Some of Estes terminals are keeping their p&d drivers around the 40- 45 hour mark.
Unfortunately you may not get much info here. Think you are the third Pyle person on the sitePYLE is paying time and half after 40 already. What we're doing is we're taking drivers who picked long 60+ hour weekly trips, because they wanted them, and forcing those guys on shorter trips while taking guys who picked shorter trips and making them take longer trips just to get folks under 54 hours.
When the hours are balanced Pyle isn't saving any money as all are still way over the 40 hour OT threshold.
I've been travelling the system and this seems to come direct from the COO but, it seems to make no sense and many drivers I talked to are getting frustrated by it.
So what you’re basically saying is seniority don’t meanIn the slow winter months the p&d guys have something called Shared Sacrifice. Basically rotating days off. EVERYONE does it. Thinking that is what is happening now. Spread the wealth.
length of Service lets you pick vacation , start times for P&D or runs of L/H and if there is work on Holiday. Pyle has always used Shared Sacrifice to keep everyone working during slow times. Everybody works, earns a paycheck and keeps going instead of using layoffs as some companies do.So what you’re basically saying is seniority don’t mean
I think the way Pyle does it is fair. Prevents the top guys from sucking up any work and leaving the lower guys starving. Keeps turnover low.So what you’re basically saying is seniority don’t mean
Or to get insurance.....If it was slow I would always take a SLIDE too let one of the young guns work.
I would to but i wasn’t forced to do it!If it was slow I would always take a SLIDE too let one of the young guns work.
At my terminal at Estes they do the sameI think the way Pyle does it is fair. Prevents the top guys from sucking up any work and leaving the lower guys starving. Keeps turnover low.
Why would you have to be forced???I would to but i wasn’t forced to do it!
When they find out they don't have a second life , there will be regretsWhy would you have to be forced???
Sick or vacation could be used,.. or let the junior person work the extra work on the weekends....
I know of drivers that are not getting any hours and the senior guys are working 6 and 7 days because they are greedy.
They certainly have and I do not miss anything about being out there with the foolish driving I see just back and forth to the doctors. Lot of reckless drivers , no rules no enforcement. Most cops are too busy looking at their phones avoiding paperwork as my cops do in my town.Man have times changed In this industry!
has always been it's all about me mentalityWhy would you have to be forced???
