I wouldn't expect the company to add many FT drivers in the future

[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1031436, member: 32753"] Hulk, regarding engines I've already seen the measurements. I drive a hybrid, and one of the things hybrids do is give you computer graphics showing your efficiency. I may exagerrate about how extreme the difference is, but it is there. Not to mention other factors, like idling. When I am running off a split (not literally "running", mind you), I am hardly idling, hardly sitting. It's why I love residentials. However, I run an industrial route, and I avg maybe 30-35 mins idle time. If my trip was broken up, those mins pretty much go away, as the drivers who'd replace me often run into the same waits I do,ANYWAY. I don't know if 10 drivers would equal my idle time in extra time. They gave that driver the 18 hr dispatch because they knew he would do it. There are a couple drivers I know who are close to if not over 100 g's a year, and it is not by filing grievances. These drivers are not involved in a ton of accidents and injuries, and they definitely are not complaining of being overworked. [/QUOTE]
