Managing hours doesn’t necessarily mean cutting the daily hours. The just cut you a day and fill it with a junior or combo driver. The hostler’s at a certain barn are pulled out of the goat one day a week and put on the dock to avoid the overtime payment. Let’s see in my daily travels I see Unified Grocers, ABF, UPSF, YRC all being pulled by cut throats. What happens to the drivers that should have those runs. Sitting at home. I get my information from a former employee of one of those companies. Now do we want to be sitting at home while a duct tape special is pulling our trailers?
I doubt OD is willing to risk their reputation letting cutthroat outfits do PnD. That’s the primary reason we haul almost all of our linehaul. They aren’t willing to put their reputation of on time delivery in the hands of outsiders. Believe me, image is a BIG deal to OD.
