If I could help I would,,, Sorry these guys won't.... It's an every man for himself industry these days.... I hope someone will be kind enough to help you...

If you work the dock somewhere, punch on before you drop out.... They use to let us do that... But, as I said, I haven't been at Cooper for over 13 years.....

I would go with the fueling and hoooking, but hosteling? Now that's wrong.. Hosteling is a part of dock work... Hope you get it worked out...
That's true. Saia does not pay the first hook or last break. However, Saia does pay for every other drop n hook or swap that a driver makes. Some routes can be up to 4 or 5 paid drops or swaps a night.
Oh there's a group all right,there called TEAMSTERS maybe you should talk to one they get paid for work that is dun..."its called time spent".

I am one...no need to explain it to me, been on both sides
We too are regional competitors and we only get paid for delay after 45 minutes, no drop or hook pay, granted we are 100% 53' fleet. Straight mileage and rare delay pay, nothing else. But I'm sure you guys are like us too, make 10-15,000.00 more a year than hourly employees.

I worked at a place that was 4-5hrs a night waiting without pay...every hour the blood boiled more and more..lol.
Now I'm Union, and don't wait at all (because they pay) but, anytime someone mentions union, all anyone has to do is point to the YRC board, and it's squashed...it's too bad really, cause it's really the way to go in trucking (from a drivers viewpoint)
