That’s a lot of words to try and work around the FACT that we are underpaid vs competition. OD, FX, Upsf, Estes, Saia ABF all are compensated more than us. I know, I know, if you don’t like it then leave. Nope. I say change this place for the better instead
Southeastern would turn into a huge joke if the union came in and it’s not going to happen anyway
How you figure you are underpaid
Look Supervisor 72, if you are a driver here then you wouldn’t have to ask that question
No bonuses here. No OT ever and lower pay per hour and per mile vs OD
Im thinking it might depending the area, here where im at southeastern pays pretty decent compare to the other ltl carriers.
Yes, every area is different. All those carriers you listed are at a different pay rate in my area.
You will not have to worry over a lay-off at sefl. You will need to arrange your finances to handle extended 3 and 4 day work weeks however
ESTES is $29.80 in East Tennessee. OT after 50 hrs. Line haul is .72 per mile across the board. No lay off in sight.
It cant be as bad as Estes
, while I was there I would work 3 to 4 days a weekyall getting OT after 50hrs I thought it was after 52 hours, when I was employed at Estes the most hours I would work was the minimum of 16 hrs up to 39 hrs a week, mind you the tm was cutting hours to everyone to look out for his bonus. At the end a driver reported him to the work commission and after everything being said and done we were given just 39 hrs every week, his excuse was hes saving a ton of money to estes.

OT after 50 is rule. Yes, every terminal is ran like a franchise for the most part but things have been normalized for most part. I am extra board and make very good $$ working 4.5/5 days per week. City drivers not doing too bad either. I worked as inbound supervisor for 1.5 years and seen several changes come down from Richmond. Most drivers are pleased but you cannot please everyone.It cant be as bad as Estes

I think Estes is a pretty decent company besides all the crap the tm was putting the drivers through. I just simply dont understand why would Mr. Rob keep this particular tm at the terminal.
sincerely the only folks making money at the terminal where I worked is xtraboard drivers, teams and linehaul. City P&D they let you starve. Again every terminal is different this was just my experience.
I see a lot of newer Estes equipment. Not sure about the jacks
