[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 339080, member: 4653"] I'm on the preload "call in" list, meaning if the preload needs help they call full-time drivers in, in seniority order if you wish to be. Depending on the season, on average I get called twice per week with an automatic 11 hours when it happens. I like working the preload. I like OT when its early and hate it when its late (after 7pm). So I guess, I'm going to "opt out" so I can still get my OT in the AM. Problem is, with everyone "opting in" will I get a heavier dispatch because I opted out? No difference to me because I get paid by the hour. I have no life and don't mind working OT. If I really need to be somewhere I guess I can ask for 8 hours or bang out sick. That being said, my personal opinion about the over 9.5 articles is that it really sucks. I think it should either be keep everyone under 9.5 (with exception of course) or dispatch the area of the route as is. Remember the days when your route was "your route" ? I'd be happy with that even if it meant going over 10 once or twice per week. When it was "our" route there was a lot less headaches. Now, in the process of trying to even the dispatch we get left with many more problems than what we wanted to fix. More miles driven, more misloads, less efficiency due to a driver not knowing a section he gets on the dispatcher's whim:sick:. The worst is when they cut a route and stick a section heavy in businesses is section 8000:sick:. What this means is I now must break off my area to make service on these packages. Where I need to go is 2 miles from my nearest stop. On a map it shows the section is adjacent to my route. Problem is, its adjacent to the end on my route and if I did it last there would be many service failures. I just don't understand why this person is allowed to keep his job. Does anyone have an opinion on this? [/QUOTE]
