[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 121621, member: 198"] [B]Same here. I'm just a lowly part-time cover driver but I watch what goes on with the full-time drivers and listen to them complain. It happens just the way you described your center. The source of the problem really goes deeper than you think. At least here it does. The real problem is that some of those bid drivers are used to getting what ever they want. You know...the same people that will actually call in sick if they know their truck is red tagged and they don't want to have to drive a truck other than "their truck." So what happens is that the sups first get mad that they called in then they realize that they can pour on the extra work, or in some cases the work that is really supposed to be on those routes anyway. Allot of those drivers rarely get extra stops put on them on a heavy day. We have guys that will stay out as late as possible out of spite when they get extra work. So usually they just get loaded for a 8-9 hour day and the rest of the drivers get slammed. The sups don't want to risk putting more on them out of fear that they'll stay out so late.
