[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 106077, member: 4886"] Although people don't like it, OT with the drivers is done to basically save money strange as it may seem. For many agreements on HW and Pension. The contributions are capped at a maximum per month or per week. So a driver working 40 hrs has the same contribution as one working 50 hrs in a week. (I know not all supplementals are the same, so I'm sure there is areas in the country where this may not be true). So the amount of money spent on OT is compensated by not paying additional HW and Pension. Also, if 10 drivers should be working an 8.8 hr day, but instead 9 drivers are working isntead the totals hrs for the 9 is 9.77 hrs. In areas where the to/fr is relatively high, having 1 less driver not driving an hour to and an hour from the area also saves hours. Also, if there are only 9 drivers then only 9 cars are needed. Therefore less work for the mechanic, less cars needed to buy, less car positions needed, so adding another building doesn't need to be done. There's other reasons, but those are the biggies.
