[QUOTE="raceanoncr, post: 820956, member: 6408"] Over, I'm having a little trouble with your OP. You mean just NOW they're starting to lean on you? We've had that here for most of my career but as you and others have said, there ain't much that can be done. Oh, many have tried but, like I said here and in other posts, it comes down to what number is in the schedule. I, for one, never did care what was in the schedule. I did what I thought was safe and comfortable for me, whether pre/post-trip, on-road speed or finish work. We had a Feeder Mangler one time at, what was then called a TLA, breakfast for those that could attend. He and another supervisor were commenting on the fact that most of us were recording excessive FW times. That is, drive in to the phone, drive to break-down area, break doubles, etc., etc. He used me as an example. In front of everyone, he asked me what the finish work time is. I said, "Whenever I get done". THAT didn't go over very well. Another time: At a turnaround hub, a new manager was upstairs quizzing everyone on numbers. My turn. "What time is your pull-time from here?" Me: "I don't know". He: "You HAVE to know your pull-time". Me: "Why? When you're done loading and I'm done hooking and pre-tripping, I leave. You're done early, I leave early. You're done late, I leave late." That didn't go over so well, either. Point is, we've been having this banter for years. As you and others have said, though, we can't make up any time unless somebody plows different numbers into that big cyber machine. Hmpf...reminds me of another driver. Sort was extremely late. They asked him, "How much time can you make up?" He said, "Well, let's see...driving the speed limit...NONE!!!" [/QUOTE]
