Yep if they want to work. Just the way it goesDispatch was asking everyone last night if they would be interested in a ground run bid for peak season. Saturday and Sunday’s would be required. NO thanks. I’m sure if they don’t get volunteers the bottom guys will get placed on a bid.
Those that decided to stay in the pension are smiling at least.

No way I was switching to something they were pushing…Those that decided to stay in the pension are smiling at least.

And this year it’s the HSA.

You sure Freight wouldn’t try to stick you in the hostler or dock?Would take it in a heartbeat over a shuttle.
No dock time, Delay pay, Usually make the same as a 290+mile run and some of them run as grounds extra board so you don't have to hit the same place every single day.
Oh and if ground cancels you, you get paid 8 hours. (If you can't report in time for Freight extra board due to timing)
And not to mention their equipment is pretty nice compared to ours (handles nicer too). Granted all they maintain is the dollies and trailers but since the mechanics are paid per job they tend to go out in search of **** wrong and fix it on the spot.

Does your barn have guys pick up /drop off cans for ground at the railyard? Or is it strictly running ground to ground facilities?Ground doesn't have a dock. You jump in the trailer and throw boxes on the belt. I'm positive freight won't have us do that. As for the hostler, they hire people to do that.. We're not even allowed in the building. Our hostler certification means nothing to them. Also, no way to click in. Our badges don't work there.
These are 2 separate companies under the same umbrella. We're just there to drive and collect delay pay.

We have double turn runs/triple turns at mine. But that sometimes changes up if they don't have the freight to move in the lanes we've been given.Does your barn have guys pick up /drop off cans for ground at the railyard? Or is it strictly running ground to ground facilities?

Ah ok, gotchaWe're not doing any ground yet, but I hear it's coming.
In the past, we didn't do rails for them. We did swaps and center to center.
I understand everything you stated. I was just trying to make it simple and say you get to Ground and no work then you just return to Freight and work dock or switch at freight. I know we are all 3 different companiesGround doesn't have a dock. You jump in the trailer and throw boxes on the belt. I'm positive freight won't have us do that.

Their insurance is about identical coverage to ours but with higher premiums. One of the reasons I turned down an interview.FedEx won't sell to Amazon and they do not have better insurance. I worked there for a few months and they suck.
