[QUOTE="UPS Freight Relocator, post: 292593, member: 6350"] Let me see where should I start? You are correct about ( if shed. is cut going to bottom of extra board), Next ,yes , without a doubt starting in the Freight Companys ,everyone is an casual, or extra board ,or fill-in driver ,depending on your terminal. And it happens to everyone,, I have 10 years, and still get cut here and there, just to find out later they ran a Extra board driver to my same meet point only about 1 1/2 hours after my normal run time, but I'm told these things happen,yea,right!!!,I was signing up on weekends to make up the difference,not wanting to hurt anyone elses chances of making a pay check,and was getting out ,because no one wanted to work weekends, even the same Drivers that were crying during the week, that they were'nt getting any miles, But they wanted to be Home with there familys , and thats cool,but don't blame us because we give up that time, to prepare for the slow times, its just part of the freight business , And they run City drivers on road runs on Saturday instead of road drivers ,WHY?, because the Road Drivers hours aren't up yet, and they have to get the freight out? But terminals are DARK over the weekend, Freight won't be worked until Sunday nite or Monday morning,,,,, So whats the big Rush that we can'nt run it when our 10 hrs are up?,,,,, And this weekend they told us, UPS Freight does'nt want us to run on SAT and SUN any more, so all weekend road runs are out of the Question, But when you check where's the freight, the freight went out with, Guess who,? a Contract Driver over the weekend!!!!!!
