Pennsylvania- well it did. Used to run into a feeder driver that had a 4/10 run. Mon,Tues,Thurs,Fri. Crap schedule but he loved having a day in middle of the week to do "errands". As I said- doesn't happen much. Heck- that might have been the only one in the country. Sorry. (I'm pretty sure you won't believe me).

Maybe it was bid that way ? Or, the supplement and Local practices allow it ?

Yes but you just said it doesn't happen. It does. I don't care either way. I'm focusing on not hurting anybody's feelings around here. It will take a lot of work...

It can differ in feeders.... Ok ?



When have you ever said anything.... that hurt someones feelings ?

Except talking trash about your Local ?

I’ve never heard of that myself although I thought we were talking about package car not feeders that already works seven days a week 24/7

Talking truth...
Do you guys negotiate "feeder work rules"? I know in the Southwest each local bids their own feeder work rules.

Please tell me the Union isn’t going to go for work week flexibility?
There is no way to avoid it. There is a demand for six and seven day a week service, to turn it away would simply cost us Teamster jobs. Mind you I’m not saying individuals have to work six or seven days a week but Saturday and Sunday as scheduled days off is going to become something bid by seniority same as it is in any 7 day a week transportation operation.

I agree. But you still need strong master level language preventing them from abusing the six punch. Like, no driver can be disciplined for calling out on their day off. FYI, what I meant by flexibility was non -consecutive work days.
