[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 3151378, member: 51847"] So what is the option, use contractors in feeders instead of letting drivers do 4x10 runs? How about the 22.3 guys working 4x9 and a 4...should those jobs be done away with because they don't get OT after 8? I can easily make $80k on a 4x10 schedule... personally, I think having 100 people making $80k is better than 80 people making $100k. We have a lot of runs that are 4 days because most weeks you can't get 5 days in under your 60 DOT hours. Other 4x10 runs are because a hub that may need 10 runs to move trailers most of the week only needs 7 on other d It seems like there would be support for a position that could help more drivers make it to retirement without having to come on these forums and ask for support or advice. It amazes me how much people on here whine and say UPS drivers shouldn't have to give up their Saturday for a greedy company. Then the 4x10 option is brought up for package and a person said they don't need a day off during the week because they can go see 3 named professions with 7+ years of schooling each who are working a Saturday.
