[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 283431, member: 198"] I had this very same discussion with another driver while we we were transferring packages today. What I don't understand is how we can look at the next day's forecast and see half the routes in the red but instead of the dispatch sup raking some fat off those routes and creating another route or two he'll send the routes out as is and wait until the #%@$ hits the fan to call in a TCD (or two) to go around and take stops off people that will be over 9.5. I'm a TCD so I experience this allot. I'll get the call to come in around noon. Sometimes before and sometimes after. Sometimes I'll be called in for EAMs and think I'll be working the night shift later but instead I end up bouncing around from area to area taking stops off overdispatched drivers. If I'm doing this along with scheduled coverage throughout the year then why am I still part-time? We have 3 or 4 TCDs that cleared $40k this year. One broke $45k. [/QUOTE]
