[QUOTE="TooTechie, post: 1368566, member: 28388"] Like "I've" said: It's a formula they use to determine what's more cost effective. They figured out that it's cheaper to have the target dispatch for most routes be 9.1 hours than pay another driver straight time, another vehicle and benefits. The nice thing is there is a point of diminishing returns at which the scale tips and it is no longer cost effective to pay the OT. Dispatch sups know there are people that will run harder and skip their lunches if given too heavy of a dispatch. They also know who will kick them in the wallet if they load them up too much. I've told my sups and dispatcher straight up that I take my full lunch but with a reasonable dispatch I'll hustle to get home to see my kids. They also know the implied backside of that statement which is if you load me up unreasonably heavy then I'll see you whenever I get done. Sent from my 28 year old brown truck [/QUOTE]
