[QUOTE="CharleyHustle, post: 1033383, member: 26998"] When you hired in 32years ago, was every full time employee only working 40 hours a week? I can understand that individual locations may have differing work loads, but where I'm at, 32 years ago 9.5 hours was a light day. I've never seen in the time I've been here that overtime wasn't part of the equation for delivery or feeder drivers. Actually, I think in the transportation industry as a whole and trucking in general, overtime is pretty much standard fare. It all boils down to putting another truck, and another employee driving that truck with all the costs involved on the road. In my experience, its never been easier than right now, thanks to 8hr requests and the current 9.5 language to reduce your overtime. Now some may want to reduce their overtime further, and that is fine, but if you want "fundamental change", you might want to try another industry altogether. [/QUOTE]
