[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 761808, member: 18471"] Savings may depend on the types of runs the drivers are doing. If they're doing a planned 10 hr run, the company is paying 10 hrs OT to the 5 day driver, where as the sixth driver could cover the run the 5th day. In my area we have Sun-Thur jobs, Mon-Fri, and Tues-Sat, they just changed a lot of jobs to Sun-Thurs, on Sun the driver does something different than Mon-Thur, then another driver covers what used to be the Fri content of the job. It doesn't seem to make sense to me either but I'm also just a dumb truck driver. Some bean counter has probably spent 6mo studying volume trends, sat down with numerous spreadsheets and came up with the new plan. Someplace there may be some savings. Here is an example of the possible savings: Shuffling routes and change feeder projected savings: $5000.00 per year Cost of bean counters salary for six months $75000.00 Time to recoup investment 15yrs Of course this is if everything goes according to plan. Your results may vary. [/QUOTE]
