[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 2475270, member: 42691"] They've cut sleeper runs across the country for the last two peaks. Sleeper teams run mileage. For some of the longer sleeper teams, the miles can add up to $2600 a week. But you really shouldn't lose $800 a week. You just have to work 60 hours to get your time. If they're running contractors--and they are--you are entitled to your 60 hours. Even hourly, 60 hours is roughly $24-2500 a week. But you have to keep your nose and balls in the dispatchers window. They're not going to OFFER you your 60. You have to demand it. It's not hard to do. You just need to ask, and if they tell you they don't have any work, you just tell them since contractors are running, you need to find me some work. Where I'm at, half the time you end up standing around, or shuffling empty trailers to a remote lot for hours on end. And there is NO guilt about doing it. If they're giving our contractual work to gypos, I'm gonna be made whole. [/QUOTE]
