i don't know if i agree. to be honest everyone at my terminal was a hub except the extraboard and one linehaul (so 4 hub, 3 linehaul). When rebids happened they turned everything into linehaul basically (5 linehaul, 1 hub). the number 1 hub guy kept his hub run, everyone else fell behind these extraboard drivers that said they wanted nothing but extraboard and then bid a scheduled run. now i have been there 4 months losing a run being forced to extraboard when i came to estes with the lifetime bid as a selling point.
that isn't the bad part in my eyes. the bad thing i see is that the hub driver stayed hub, and another driver didn't want to ruin his family by going extraboard. this puts me number 4 in linehaul seniority simply because i chose extraboard, and being that any runs that open up are probably going to be linehaul, i have been with the company 4 months and 2 guys that came when the terminal opened up (2 years or so) are now below me when it comes to rebids. am i happy? sure it benefits me. but it is total crap.
i know this is completely off topic but throwing in my $.02 on another comment.
