Wildly varying sleep schedule for regional drivers

Pros

Home most weekends. Most Monday-Friday loads turn without a 10 hour break. Two weeks vacation after one year. Three weeks after five years. Extremely nice dispatcher.

Cons

You can be required to pick up loads at every corner of the clock in a five day period. You may work during daylight hours one day, then be expected to sleep the next afternoon and pick up at 1 or 2 am. No one can always be as safe as they could be with the sleep schedules that we're given. A couple of years ago, we were given five personal days and weekly minimum pay. Both were taken back last year, after the latter was touted so that we could plan around what we'd be paid at a minimum. It looks like regional drivers are now being used to cover system loads due to drivers quitting over that.

Pros

They are good with roadside service response and mostly have their own tank washes.

Cons

Be prepared to be swindled on a regular basis. Every week you have to put in work to get paid correctly what you're owed from the week prior. You clearly show on your driver report form that you were loading at a customer location for 5 hours and even have the time stamped scale ticket to prove it. Yet when you get your pay stub you see they pay you (.18) hrs. They will attempt to see if they can get away with it first to see if you catch it. Then might consider changing it. But even that is an uphill battle. Other work you don't get paid for constant online learning, trying to find and track down hoses for your assignment, waiting for paperwork or trailers to get cleaned at service centers. Dispatch will schedule you to take a 34 reset while away from home in your truck but management won't pay you the layover day for doing the reset away from home no matter how many times you bring it up in email. If you're one of the lower cents per mile earners they'll keep you in an endless cycle of doing northeast loads. Those are supposed to be the highest paying loads but you won't see it. They'll just pay you the lowest cents per mile rate and pocket the difference eventhough you as the driver are susceptible to the higher costs of goods and services while in this endless cycle of northeast loads.

Pros

Company match on 401k and HSA. Overall, highway as a whole try’s to accommodate their drivers. In the past they treated drivers with respect and dignity. The ceo and corporates has made their selves available and have had serious conversations with their employees.

Cons

But… In the last couple years we had multiple terminal managers and every one tried to take away from the drivers but demand more from the drivers. I can assume bonuses are being offered for those managers. Drivers are expected to make up for upper management incompetence. Communications is poor.
