How many terminals use bunk houses
That’s why I’d never consider working there. No reason they can’t run their freight like everyone else and get u home daily. This is 2019 after all and not 1975

I’m from the Carolinas and stay in the northeast every week. Not my favorite area to run but grossed over $100k last year in the land that we all love to hate on the extraboard.We dont do bunk houses and 5days gets old. Home every other day laying down is fine with me. They used to do it for extraboard guys. Greenboard they called it.
One thing makes me mad is midwest guy like me and they put me in northeast all week. Fck that no one wants go up there and why cant I stay in my region?
Good for you brother, but to some money’s not everything. I understand both views.

Oh I definitely agree. I know that’s it’s a common belief that it’s hard to make money in the northeast though. Someday I’ll want to be home more, someday.Good for you brother, but to some money’s not everything. I understand both views. (Some guys want to be home regularly, others don’t mind being gone)

How are you working for free?Working for free i cant stand it anymore i have reached my boiling point
Waiting three hours for bills and breaking sets and shop time all freeHow are you working for free?
I understand. Waiting around and not getting paid is abominable. I’m lucky on my run that I don’t ever sit and wait but definitely did when I was extraboard. Breaking sets we do get paid. I have never understood why down time at Estes shop is not counted as breakdown pay. I sat in a shop once for 2 hours and all way for free. All in all Estes still pays well though.Waiting three hours for bills and breaking sets and shop time all free
I would be calling up the road and seeing why I am not getting paid for the work that I do. If we are at a terminal and have to break a set to make a set we get paid for a drop and a hook. Make sure that Linehaul knows that you have to break a set to get one of your trailers. Make them pay you for your work!!!My terminal dont believe the worksheet they only pay whats in the computer so if i break two sets to make a set im only getting paid one hook and the weekends im forced to work they usually leave a regular work week run off the check like im not going to notice i was on rt 30 and it shut down and the trooper had me break the set to turn around and estes would not pay me a break because the trooper didnt sign my work sheet years of these dirty tricks changes your mindset
I agree, call Hr and believe me they’ll resolve the issue. Whenever I have an issue I call them and they’re nice and will listen to you. I didn’t know stuff like this was going on at other terminals.I would be calling up the road and seeing why I am not getting paid for the work that I do.

Overhired..Everyone is casual.What do I hate about being here for 20 years and being treated as a casual driver... I didn't know I was a part timer.... I'm sorry it's been going on for a couple of months now
you out of 027?What do I hate about being here for 20 years and being treated as a casual driver... I didn't know I was a part timer.... I'm sorry it's been going on for a couple of months now
Why dont you just enter the drop and hook? lol. Wow. You're something else. In that situation use the manifest number for the rear pump for the drop and hook. If you have to break a set to make a set do the same thing. I've never had anyone say anything to me about it it. I tell dispatch or Ops manager what I had to do and they just say make sure you enter it Into peoplenet.My terminal dont believe the worksheet they only pay whats in the computer so if i break two sets to make a set im only getting paid one hook and the weekends im forced to work they usually leave a regular work week run off the check like im not going to notice i was on rt 30 and it shut down and the trooper had me break the set to turn around and estes would not pay me a break because the trooper didnt sign my work sheet years of these dirty tricks changes your mindset
