[QUOTE="Brown287, post: 3816660, member: 14940"] Well I wouldn’t quite word it the way you have but yes plan days are way down especially when you compare year over year numbers. For starters we’ve hired more employees this year then I’ve ever seen in my entire career, that’s even compared to when there was that mad dash to hire those 10,000 drivers after the strike of 97. On top of drivers we’ve hired part timers at a staggering rate. Starting the pre-load earlier as well which allows us to be wrapped up earlier. I’m not saying that there aren’t drivers who’ve worked late but at this point that’s definitely the exception not the rule. We also have helper routes with stop counts that are regular days for just the driver. We’ve been told they want every helper team well oiled for when the real volume hits. Your management has no special power.....they’re just finally allowed to do what we’ve all known was necessary but never allowed to. [/QUOTE]
