Is dock work hard? No. Are there harder more harsh jobs out there? Yes. But when I came to work for this company I had one goal, to be a linehaul driver and get paid to drive. I already put my time in on the dock and have no plans on going back. But if you're talking about new guys coming in off the street who have probably never operated a forklift in their life being forced on the dock majority of their time, you're gonna lose people. Nobody WANTS to work the dock, that's the whole point. All you drivers in here with sweet road bids would probably throw a fit of you came in and we're told hey you're only a dockworker from now on no more driving. But for the guy at the crappy terminal with all shuttle bids, that's a big hell no for me. I don't know about you guys but I don't want to be building decks and freezing my ass off when I'm old man barely moving like the senior drivers I see lol
