[QUOTE="hondo, post: 1478232, member: 8661"] There are currently 22.3 shifters @ CACH (I think I have a pretty good guess as to how/why that is; but it's still conjecture that I'll leave out for now). As part of this deal the % of 22.3s in the yard is supposed to go down drastically; if/when most of them bid out of that job, it disappears. The total % of FT non-CDL & 22.3 in the yard is supposed to end up being lower. And yes, it should provide work for drivers who can't go back out on the road for some reason (like DOT medical). The pay is halfway between 22.3 & feeder. So either feeders who bid 'down' to that accept a $3 wage cut (if my math is right)(just like a pkg driver takes a pay cut when bidding to 22.3), or 22.3s bid 'up' to $3 more. Possible downsides that I can guess at: [LIST] [*]Potentially there will be fewer 'shift only' feeder jobs. [*]Since they're not DOT, no 14/10 hour restrictions. [*]When a 22.3 shifter job "sunsets", will a different 22.3 job be created to maintain the total #? [/LIST] Seems far more likely for 22.3s (and I'm not sure if pkg will be allowed, since there aren't any at CACH) to bid 'up', than for feeder to bid 'down'. Edit: this is also supposed to keep the company from holding all the prime daytime bids for 22.3/non-CDL. What do you all think? [/QUOTE]
