I saw it coming and scheduled an 8 hr day. worked 8.5.
I realize 8 hour requests are in our contract, but i can't stand them. Whenever someone in my area has one, like yesterday, it only screws the other drivers. It turns a 9 hour day into a 10 hour day.
Or, like yesterday, a 10 hour day into a 11 hour day. All because a driver knows the volume is going to be heavy, not because his kid has a game or recital or something legit that will make me feel better about carrying so much of his work.
He's probably drinking a beer while i have 50 stops to go.
