[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1865273, member: 198"] I agree. I have considered using an 8 hour request just to get an occasional "light" day if I'm feeling overworked or to make it to something going on after work. But people using an 8 hour request just to get the money is friend*ed up. It also potentially bumps someone (a fellow Teamster) that [I][U]ACTUALLY[/U][/I] [I][U]needs[/U][/I] that 8 hour request off the saddle. So, by playing games to make more money they are keeping another driver from being able to make it to their daughter's recital, or son's baseball game, without having to take off an entire day. It also potentially keeps someone else from simply enjoying getting home a little earlier than normal. And I keep saying "potentially" but if I just base it on what I see in my center than I really should have said "Likely." I see it all the time. It's always the same ole people hogging up the 8 hour requests and they rarely have any motive for it other than for the extra money or just because they can. Man I tell ya....sometimes our fellow Teamster "Brothers" can be more friend*ed up than management. I've had one of the usual suspects withdraw his once he knew I really needed the 8 hour request though. The others could care less. It's just their world and everyone else is in it. [/QUOTE]
