So the company saves on benefits by working fewer people more hours.Same deal with pension. We get $10+ per hour in pension contributions on our first 2,080 compensated hours. After that, zero. So the cost difference between a full scale driver and a new hire/22.4 is partially offset once that full scale driver has been compensated for 2,080 hours in a calendar year and the company is no longer making pension contributions on him but still making them on any hours worked by the new hire.</blockquote>
