AAA Cooper | Linehaul question

[Dock/Driver]

Can a city guy bump a linehaul off his run?
How does the bid system work?

I don't work for them, but id say no. At least at Estes you can't. If you are a city driver and come over to lineal you lose your seniority and start at the bottom. Same thing with lineal person going to city you start at the bottom as well as hub.

Yes. If a man with seniority at bid time decides he wants to bump from city to Linehaul you can and will be bumped

Funny. Being I worked there from 2004-2014 I saw it happen 3 times. But I guess I’m just imagining things

To be fair, that was 10 years ago. A lot can change in that amount of time.

 

[BradBear]

True. A lot has changed for sure

Are linehaul drivers able to work the dock?

 

[Dock/Driver]

Yes if you have a short run your expected to.

What is it like working the dock for aaa cooper? There is a linehaul spot open by me they say you have to work the dock 3 to 4 hours then do a linehaul run. Hate to get sweaty then do a run after loading trailers.

Well it sounds like you want a staple of a union freight contract, but don'twant to be union! Seniority is everything under a union contract you want respect fight for it if not you are stuck with what the company wants to do!!
