[QUOTE="teamsterdan, post: 123703, member: 5350"] as a current 22.3 combo job holder this is how it works for us......myself because I am neither a slave to the job or the $$$$..........leave in 8hrs. regardless, this after several years of good faith attempts to "do the job right" for example the 2nd part of my combo is feeder wash....( I guess according to some all dirty tractors are to be done daily) by the time the pkg. drivers clear the wash area it's after 9am....my 8 are up by 12:30pm.. and I still haven't had time for my 30 min. lunch so on a "good" day I have >3hrs. to wash @ last count 28 tractors...... according to my bean counter that allows me 6.4 MIN to attend to all the tractors........ in the beginning I would skip lunch because for me it's personal.... the drivers "know" who didn't wash their pig.......and I always felt that if @ the very least the driver could count on a clean vehicle daily it's one less problem for them....so if I could just work an extra 5- 10 min to get in an extra tractor or two that would be a good thing.....not so, I began to get diciplined for going as little as a min. over.......now in nearly my 8th yr.....UPS won....instead of the 10 - 12 tractors I washed daily ......on a "good day" I'll get 6, and NEVER skip lunch..... who wins that.....on the flip side the 2 other "knuckleheads" I work w/ who also have combo jobs do anything but their ASSIGNED/BID jobs.......I have seen them go from being ordered to leave after 8hr. no matter what.... to them being threatened w/ "job abandonment" if they don't stay over 8 and finish up.......I call them "knuckleheads" because if it were me (one of them is a steward,who CHOOSES to play the game because he needs/wants/ the OT $$$) I'd make them choose either way....
