[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2023276, member: 14176"] The first "Monday", was really the Tuesday after Memorial Day, which I just happened to have an 8hr request for. When I refused to go home, my on-car asked what routes I knew in my center, to which I replied "none". I bid onto my route in 2000 from another center. The on-car then went through the manning book, unaware of my 8hr request, and found an uncovered route that he considered "light". After I had him find me a map, print out the manifest and pickup log, I asked him how he wanted to handle the work I did not finish? "What do you mean", he said? As I reminded him of my 8hr request, he became incensed and said there was only 8 hrs of work on the route. I explained how unrealistic it would be to think I could run scratch on a route I had never run before, using a map, etc. He then became even more frustrated and told me he didn't have any work for me then. I said "fine", "I'll head on home and expect to be paid my 8 hr guarantee". From there he reconsidered and had me run air, a few misloads, and then pretended to study safety drivel until he disappeared shortly after lunch. The following 2 Mondays, they convinced the senior B car driver in my loop to take they day off and I ran the A and B routes combined....into the ground. The 1st Monday the on-car rode with me for about 8 of the 13 hours and his hair littered the curbs of parts of both routes. After a second 13 hr day the following Monday, they abandoned this ill-fated "plan" for good. Don't tell me my business.;) ~Bbbl~ [/QUOTE]
