[QUOTE="Orion inc., post: 1719422, member: 58808"] Yeah me too. Tried to screw me on an 8 hr day but wondered why I wouldn't go home when I already drove there ready to work. I have a rule. If I've left my house and wasted gas, I'm working. If I need the day, I schedule an option day well in advance. If I'm sick and I can take some medicine and work through it, I do. But I don't take unpaid days off just to take a day. I figure that you should work now as much as you can. That way you are closer to the finish line. There will come a day when you can't or won't have to work. But until that moment, you do your job. I know it's hard but in a few years, there will be a wave of retirements and all these new drivers will have no choice but to work every day. Do what you have to until then. But expecting senior guys to go home unpaid and leave money on the table isn't fair to the senior guys who paid their dues to work everyday. I know a lot do it but the bottom guys shouldn't expect it and then get mad when it doesn't happen for them. Their time will come when they will be senior. Until then, guys like me should be working and saving while we can so that retirement is closer not further away [/QUOTE]
