    That's gonna be kinda hard to do with some of the over-600-mile runs we got.

    Hmmmm....maybe turn the tractors up to, say, 80-82 MPM?

    Uh, count me out! I'll just work 8 hrs.

    It's the reason I came here in the first place 31 yrs ago (boy, was I disillusioned).

    How do you figure that merging DISTRICTS lets you bid into other centers?

    I find it hard also that they are going to knock all the runs down to 8hr, they would have hire alot more drivers to perform "meet and turns"

    In New jersey and new york they can bid hubs if they choose to.

    I don't think they can bring *all* feeder jobs down to 8 hours, but here in CHEMA they have brought *most* jobs down to near 8.

    Same here, I believe. Well, at least it seems so.

    I find it ironic that the job I don't mind working overtime is being cut back, but the job I despised overtime on, (package car) the company seems to be adding it.
