[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1523679, member: 17969"] I find it ridiculous that non feeder drivers are giving sleeper advice on subjects they know nothing about. You said this "The only call I make is to dispatch letting them know I'm shutting it down in bad conditions" First and foremost, sleeper teams dont report to "dispatch" or the hubs. Before we depart, we must report to CMG and notify them that we departed, from there all communications are with CMG and not the "dispatch" center. The "dispatch" center has no authority over the sleeper run. This advice is silly at best. Second, sleeper teams are NOT paid for ALL delays, only approved delays by CMG, another piece of bad information. Lets say my partner and I decide to pull the tractor over for 7 hours because we are going to wait for the fog to lift. We call CMG and they do not approve of it but we do it anyway. Are you offering to this board, that the both of us would be paid $35.31 cents an hour for 7 hours to sit there and wait?? Where do you people get this kind of information. While it is true we are paid for "downtime", its only approved downtime. Fuel =30 mins, Wash =15 mins, TA = 30mins. Breakdowns are paid fully until you are moving again. Everything else is UNPAID. Dracula, you have no idea what you are talking about, and if you "heard" this somewhere, then your source is full of baloney. TOS. [/QUOTE]
