[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1962071, member: 42691"] It doesn't matter if your area has sleeper runs. We are a whole. When they start cutting sleeper teams (bid jobs) for peak, and when we carry empties while contractors carry the real loads, it sets a bad precedent. And just because it doesn't affect you now, if it continues at this rate, it won't be long before we get phased out. My mileage run was carrying railboxes to the railyard from my meet hub. That was a lot of extra OT and miles. Now, this week, we are carrying empties back to our home hub. Management says contractors aren't taking the rail loads, but who's kidding who? Someone is taking them, and it isn't a Teamster. If UPS is using contractors to move our loads while we carry empties, you can bet they won't be paying us 60 hours to move around empties for very long. [/QUOTE]
