[QUOTE="Whither, post: 5215492, member: 76643"] Also in the Central. 3/4ths of the times when they message [B]asking[/B] me to run a misload, cover a pickup, take stops, etc I reply back "[B]I decline extra work[/B]" and that's the end of it. Refusing an instruction is a different story, of course, and short of safety or ethical issues discipline will follow. In the evening OMS personnel run the show and in my experience they [B]never[/B] use [B]the magic word[/B] or give anything like [B]a clear directive[/B]. I've even played around when, on rare occasions, they badger me about it: "Well are you asking or instructing, lemme know, because if asking the answer is still no" and, in my center at least, they can't bring themselves to use the magic word.
