[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1961999, member: 52978"] Down here in Texas, they created over 25 sleeper team runs. Some of the runs were only 3-3.5 days long (though still mileage). What was happening was, instead of being happy with their short runs, these drivers were bidding to work on their days off for extra work. These jobs all paid time and a half. The feeder department budget blew up. Pencil pushers took note. Management took work off some runs and added it to the jobs that drivers were bidding for extra work, thereby keeping them busy at straight time. the senior drivers who were affected grieved it. The newbie drivers were afraid to grieve because they didn't want to make waves. The drivers who grieved it got big checks. I can't blame the drivers who took the extra work. It is hard to turn down $800.00/day when they they throw it up there. [/QUOTE]
