[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 4046599, member: 58386"] Even in the small rural town I live in the USPS is running around here on Sundays and have been doing for the least the past several months. The point is why go out there on Saturday and Sunday delivering a third of a load each day only to find yourself back out there on Monday running over the same territory dropping that remaining third of a load ?Moreover, what if you get a big snowstorm on a Friday night? At least over the weekend you'll have a chance to get the roads opened back up. If you want to know what kind of feces are going to hit the fan in the coming days then all you have to do is to pay attention to Fat Freddy's address to shareholders and the business media. It was 6 or 7 years ago when he told Ground about all stolen motor freight coming their way along with the merging of Ground and HD and it's been a couple of years or more since he told you that you would be running weekends. For rural contractors finding somebody clean enough and sober enough to run on weekends will be a monumental challenge let alone holiday weekends But, then again they wanted in there badly enough so nobody's going to feel sorry for them. It's conform or get out......Losing money or can't find anybody willing to go out on weekends or on a holiday or in an ice storm ? Then contractors get your legs limbered up and go find a uniform that fits because chances are you're going to be the next lucky contestant. [/QUOTE]
