That's gonna be kinda hard to do with some of the over-600-mile runs we got.
Hmmmm....maybe turn the tractors up to, say, 80-82 MPM?
Uh, count me out! I'll just work 8 hrs.
It's the reason I came here in the first place 31 yrs ago (boy, was I disillusioned).

Same here, I believe. Well, at least it seems so.
I find it ironic that the job I don't mind working overtime is being cut back, but the job I despised overtime on, (package car) the company seems to be adding it.

THat was going to be my joke but did not seem funny enough
3. Starting Jan 1st they will be upping package car hours to 16 hour days.

No way that they can cut all the feeder runs to 8 hours. We have one run that runs 403 miles, has to make one drop, and wait on another hub to finish loading a trl. No way that run will ever see 8 hours.

The company is begining its quest to "collapse" districts. West LA will "collapse" effective monday October 19th.
Buildings will be combined under 1 division manager. Outlying areas will move to another district (Coast).
Changes are indeed coming, dont think they can make the 8 hour goal in feeder to be a reality. Too many other "bad" decisions being made in the operation that will affect this goal.
We have been running 12 to 13 package hour days all year long, our return to building times are slowing down the unload, sort, and load walls making the feeders pull late..
If this continues, they will never see 8 hour feeder runs.

Someone forgot to tell our local mgmnt to wait until Jan 1st. Unless you meant of 2006.
We are hearing alot more about the merging of districts,
Looks like we are going with Lauraul Mountains. My question is will my retirement still be kept with Central states (Reading Pa, is the fund office) From what we hear Lauraul Mtn. fund is not doing well, and that the fund took there raises to help the fund.
I feel this is going to really put a hurting on all of us in the long run.

You will stay in your same union local as the company merging districts has nothing to do with your union representation.

You should stay in the plan that your local is in.
