[QUOTE="nhguy, post: 113715, member: 5248"] I'm with you tieguy on this one. Should the company be expecting a re-imbursement penalty for drivers that work 9.5 on an 8.5 planned day??? I can understand drivers frustrations with long days, nobody wants to work from 9-8. Unfortunately a lot of it happens to be due to the type of business we are all in. Customers want early deliveries and late pick-ups. The other problem I used to see when I was in package is that drivers get used to bringing home x amount of dollars every week and when you did lighten the work day the driver still was on the clock the same. Can't say that this applies today since our society is more focused on time off and having more free time to spend at home. In addition most homes have both partners working full time jobs. There are no simple solutions to this issue and I don't think putting financial penalties or increasing overtime rates is going to reduce your work day. :cool: [/QUOTE]
