[QUOTE="twoweeled, post: 3847070, member: 27108"] Yep! I assume your referring to package. In feeder, we were 60 hour week people. Then it went to 62.3 hours because they started taking breaks into the equation. Then back to 60 hours. When sleepers were brought in, they were at 70 hours/week. When feeder local needed more man hours, they started going back and forth with 60 and 70 hours, with Local drivers. Whatever suited management that day or week. Now package I hear is on the 70 hour week! Sometimes 6 days? That is just BS for package. Many of these young guys are just seeing dollar signs (I seen the same). Your body WILL NOT take 12 hour days in package without you paying a price. It's not even a, "most" will not survive. You work consistent 12's for years, your body "IS" going to break. There should have been strong language to prevent this, but taking care of the employee was never a large priority in this contract. [/QUOTE]
