Rumor has it with the shuttle system going to paperless logs- all routes/runs will be planned on a 10 hour clock. That could be approximately a 300 mile per week cut or more to some. You figure a run that pays 660 a night may have to get cut back to 550 depending on swap points. That's not cool to cut the pay when they could have turned the trucks up. They turned up OTL trucks.....
We were told only runs over 10.5 hours are being restructured.
I was also told 10.5 and we should see a lot of our old meets from years ago
I will let you guys know, I have the only 10.5 schedule in Knx. I'm also hearing several rumors of pay raise, vacation and personal days spoken of in a recent meeting with drivers, plus a massive across the board increase in work force. Sounds like a dream come true, we shall see.
We have not had a shuttle meeting in years at nor, so they have told us nothing. I would think nor and ful runs would be less than 10.5 because of the gridlock of rush hour traffic in the Atl.
I hope that the things CM mention are on the horizon. My two cents is that the company should turn up SHUTTLE trucks and most of the switching of hours and runs wouldn't be necessary. They should ask the other carriers why they turn their trucks up. The fuel cost i bet would be lower than what the pay and benefits for extra employees
Tell me what I haven't heard yet
Would like to seen 4 @ 15. Any news on raise or raising truck speed.
