[QUOTE="Faceplanted, post: 1881235, member: 56697"] When I started driving 10 years ago I got talked into coming in when trying to take an option 3 day all the time. Now, if I know I have something to do I try to be curious and tell my on road a few days before "hey I won't be here this day". Being curtious goes a long way, especially if u need a schedule off when out of days. Otherwise if I have to call in, I text first about 2 hours before start and day "option 3 today, see you tomorrow unless otherwise ". If no response I call. The whole real men call days are over, most of my on roads are college geeks who hate talking on the phone and text messages also provide proof with a response. They have learned to not ask me to call because the call usually goes south when their staffing excuses come up and I tell them it's not my problem. Before being a bid driver I have went out blind many times due to call in, these rookies can do the same especially with edd. If you have option 3, use them at your will. We damn well earn them, and some days u just need a day to run errands or spend time with the family. They agreed upon the contract and that's how it works. Nothing better than waking up, thinking "scree work today" and enjoying a great day how ever u enjoy them. Upstate, your old school u wouldn't understand the ease of a text, especially when sups are in their am meetings and don't need their phone blowing up. [/QUOTE]
