[QUOTE="Orion inc., post: 1925993, member: 58808"] If you're going to make this a "career", then you need to learn to play the game. We all have families and we all learn to balance that and ups when you've been here many years. Delivering misloads sucks but it's the job. We provide service. It's part of being what we are. Getting rid of bulk stops? Sure. Then get ready for mass layoffs and people without jobs. Your car will be bricked out a lot. That's the nature. They aren't going to change it. If you're truly good at what you do, then you already know how to handle all these issues and more as a driver. Follow the methods, be safe and take care of the customers. That in turn takes care of you and your family. Are their some people who "milk" the clock? Yep. That won't change. But most long time guys know how to do a fair days work for fair pay and still take care of our family. Keep wishing for the volume to be downsized or "spread out" and then if that happens, some could be without a job or hours enough to work. Be careful what you wish for there. Nobody wishes for their life to revolve around work. Maybe some do, but they don't have much of a quality of life anyway. Believe me, if you've been here long enough, you want to do your job safely and well and come home every night to your loved ones. But you have to remember what you are working for. It's a balance.
