96-cents a mile for sleeper teams by 2022.

I'm into distribution!!
How many days are they out for?
And how many miles

Ours vary from just under 4,000 to almost 6,000 miles. The ones at 4,000 will have another leg added at some point and come up to the average which is around 4,800 in our building.

Days are hard to describe. It may only take 3.5 days to do a run but they will have you back through your home domicile for an hour to 18 hours at least once in the week so your 4 days of work takes 5 or 5.5 days to complete.

I cover a run occasionally because I like the A driver. It's about 5,200 miles and he makes about $135k a year (maybe $145k, I don't remember what he told me). To make that money he is home roughly 38 hours from late Sunday evening until Tuesday afternoon. And then is scheduled back for another 18 or so hours Wednesday into Thursday. That's a tough life.

Best negotiating team for decades!

Anybody voting No now will never,ever be happy!

Across the board victory.

Congratulations to all.

Apparently you didn't read the language very closely. It was almost as if the union gave their lawyers the day off when that section was written.
