no note needed for 2 days
Dialing it in 2 days in a row is actually a pretty savvy move. Keep in mind that when you call in, no one believes you're really sick even if you are. They just figure you had something better to do than work that day. But when you call in 2 days in a row, they start to wonder..."Maybe he really is sick".

Oh heck. Call out take the rest of your life off.
I'm not a professional at this friday call off thing like you guys but it seems like him calling out and bringing a note from the doctor he sees would cover all the bases.
I do love reading this thread though. This is one example where you fellas will quote the contract to me all day until this example where it works against ya.

Personal days are just like vacations they go by senoirty. There are probably other drivers with more time wanting that day. Or they just don't have enough people to cover vacations.
Call in tell them your booking off then call the next morning and book back on. Remember TWO CAN PLAY THE GAME.

The example was quoted, so how did we not quote the contract to you? That made no sense Tie. Good subliminal troll attempt though.
and it only works against you, the supervisor, so maybe that is why your post seems filled with frustration.
Either way the person gets the day, so who is it working against again?

In reality those who quote the scripture from the good contract book to me should also learn to abide by it. The contract allows a set number of optional holidays. If you don't have the seniority to get your day off then you should abide by the contract and come to work. Its an area where you folks will routinely ignore the contract. But yet you folks fill this thread up with your tips on how to bypass the language and intent but you will scream bloody murder when management tries to do the same.
I didn't see anyone suggest the person talks to one of the folks who were approved to see if he could get him to back out on his request and free up a slot? No team in teamster?

Good one tie ... as i said in a couple other threads, "Integrity is relative".
Now somebody will probably say calling in sick is in the contract ... tsk, tsk.

Show me language that says not calling in sick is abiding by the contract.

When you can move it ask for it. When you can not, call out sick.

BlackJack616, You've given the Company ample notice that you need the day off. You made the effort. They refused you.
This is the best of times to take a sick day because the volume is down and people are on layoff.
There is nothing in the Contract that says you have to be sick to take a sick day. Just as you don't have to go to church to justify taking Christmas off, or go the fireworks to justify taking July Fourth off.
Here in Massachusetts we have the Small Necessities Leave Act that allows employees to take up to 24 hours off by Law. Maybe your state has a similar law.
Are you covered by the fedral (or state) Family And Medical Leave Act? (Article 16, Section 6). If so you can take time off for a Doctor's appointment, although the Company may ask for you to have your doctor fill out a form, just to annoy you.
