The company does this over and over again. They do not study what is happening now or communicate what someone esle is working on. They cut runs they move line of frieght then move things back. Where is the lone line.

I've often backed a 2 board system(City and Road) or a company "total" seniority board... If what they say is true about the pay balancing out, what's the difference.. That's right, it doesn't.. Hub works for less... If they paid linehaul and hub the same, and kept hub drivers working the dock, they would make more than linehaul.. So make it the same.. If a linehaul driver goes to a break terminal, give him the choice to work the dock or not, then it will balance out.. If the driver doesn't want to work the dock, then what he makes is on him..... FedEx does this and it works for them.. Although with FedEx and Con-Way, of you are on a long run, then you have the choice to work or not, which is the way it should be... But, if you work at Con-Way, one way or the other, you WILL work your 70 by Saturday morning...

I'll take that. BUT, hub,utility goes to bottom. No reason to punish line haul.

I only support a change in seniority boards if it benefits me.

Well,LMAO, I don't know how we can have our cake and eat it too, unless your seniority (company) and your seniority in linehaul equals... I feel with 3 years on linehaul, your benefit is to stay here and retire... Bless you my son..
We all had to start somewhere....

I'm not going anywhere. Except maybe Florida. Ha.
Well around here Linehaul is gettin punished all the time, its nice to see these guys that have not been here long though end up making out better then you cause they took that HUB run and you did'nt back when you had a chance... Had to hold on to that Linehaul time, and it don;t mean crap around here anymore...Now I think I'll go drink another beer, I know Im good for that!!

I never understood having all the categories you guys have..Either you work the city or you run linehaul. If you have strap and run to the hub, you have the option to decline dock work. But 5 different categories for doing the same job seems assinine to me.. Gotta say I like the one board thing at con-way..at least you have the option to move around. If you are a senior driver tired of the monotony of night line, you can run the city for a year, then go back to line and still have your same run..
