[QUOTE="McFeely, post: 2742711, member: 60776"] I gotta wonder where the breakover point is for FT vs. PT drivers. I mean, if you have PTers in the morning doing P1 overflow, you gotta have more vehicles and PowerPads. Same goes for the afternoons. More PPADs and vehicles cost money, but so does having a FT route getting 1-2 hours of overtime a day. Also, more routes on-road decreases station productivity because of stem time. When we have late freight, the regular FT route driver doesn't get back early enough for a PT pup route to use his vehicle or PPAD. So then what? The pup route starts their route late, possibly jeopardizing the CTV pull that evening. I know we can't hold onto PTers in the afternoon shift because of either lack of hours or the pay. And most FTers in my station would love to get about 45 hours a week just to make it easier on their budget (myself included). [/QUOTE]
