[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 4084728, member: 51847"] I think some of it for us was because in the past, loads from distant railyards would sometimes be too late for the train and come in through extra meet point runs. This would be a lot of work since some of these originated over 1,000 miles away and were always 500 plus mile days from our building. Now those loads are gone and the Gypsies are hauling them. I'm sure they were/are designated as rail loads. We also used to have tons of extra loads we would pick up from other railyards on Sundays and Mondays...many of those have disappeared as well. Hubs will still be running the same number of loads each night so I bet many of the sleeper teams bringing in loads for a sort will wait and take loads back out, which is what most already do at our hub. Those will be the good runs, many are mileage and those jobs will probably be offset by 4x10 schedules and CPU runs. I did not see these 2,000 sleeper jobs as a win in the contract... I hope I'm wrong. We all know if the union and company fight over ambiguous language we will come out on the short end of that stick. [/QUOTE]
