[QUOTE="JustTired, post: 312729, member: 10234"] If I had to guess........they are finding out that , where they have posted the "opt in/opt out" signup, nobody is opting out. DUH! I still believe there will be no difference in your load regardless of which you choose. The only difference is that if you opt out, you forfeit your right to grieve for the penalty pay. Once again, the company seems to be under the illusion that a good percentage of the drivers want to work over 9.5 and therefore would not opt in. While there is a percentage of drivers that would take all the OT they can get, I'm guessing that percentage to be very low. In the low single digits. Therefore, if 95% of the drivers opt in, the company runs the risk of paying the penalty on OT to a lot of people. While it is still cheaper to pay the penalty than hire more drivers, it does make it less attractive when you figure in things such as driver injuries going up due to fatigue, accidents going up due to fatigue, service failures going up due to time constraints and fatigue. It's stupid language and I think they are realizing that. I did as soon as I seen it. And if I can see it............... [/QUOTE]
