[QUOTE="hypocrisy, post: 873354, member: 9500"] He's accounting for the time involved in getting the 2 other drivers to agree to help, drive to a meet point, waiting for those drivers to show up, actually meeting up, deciding what stops to swap, bitching about the friend'ed up dispatch, then actually going out and doing those stops in the dark. There isn't much incentive to move fast at $47/hr and your evening is already screwed. In don't know how it is in New England but out here we have package cars lined up not being used. Of course, many of them date back to the 80's and should have been ADA'd and replaced a decade ago. PMI's have been reduced to about 1 per year and road calls are through the roof. Mechanics are limited to 8 hour days and have to have approval for overtime (It's the same in the Feeder dept which sometimes means we have more red-tagged dollies than working ones). So plenty of room for spending in the Mechanic dept. Fedex is killing us in time-in-transit. We were supposed to go to more sleeper teams back in 2006 but that didn't happen. I think this is going to become a significant factor in the near future. [/QUOTE]
