[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 283298, member: 10234"] Believe it or not, 12-15 years ago, I was able to "bust my butt" and get in, punch out and head home in 8 hrs or less. Some days I was getting paid to drive home. Nothing was said and I wasn't penalized with more stops for doing so. I was running what they considered 8.5-9 hrs dispatch. It wasn't just me. There were several others as well. We weren't a bonus center, so I guess you could say that we were giving a lot of money back to the company. I couldn't care less back then. It afforded me the chance to catch my sons games and whatever else. Nowadays, you might be able to do that for a day or two, but "corrections" will be made to make sure you don't get in that early. So it doesn't take a genius to figure out that you can do your 9-10 hr dispatch in the alloted time, or you can "bust your butt" and get 10-11 hrs work for your trouble the next day. Gave the company a lot of money the first half of my career, but I'm getting it back in the second half. Their call..... not mine.:wink2: [/QUOTE]
