[QUOTE="Benben, post: 3582479, member: 25133"] I see those 2 statements as being contradictory. You can not have a raise that is less than inflation and in the same breath say it equals inflation! You say it is "unrealistic." I ask why? Record profits, record revenues, HUGE tax breaks!! 20% raises for upper management. Divvy increase in excess of 10%. I fail to understand why you would even begin to think it is "unrealistic." Again I am not trying to be aggressive so please don't read it that way! I understand what you are saying but we are dealing with real word dispatches. Every day, [B]EVERY DAY[/B]! Split routes are put in and work is shuffled. This is done between midnight and when the pre-load arrives. Ok, that Is a falsehood I just told, we all know it happens ALL THE WAY UP TO AND BEYOND THE DRIVER'S START TIME!:sleeping:2 Further, in my building it has become common practice to send a Jr. driver after a a senior driver's work that is currently on the truck an hour before the 9.5 mark for the soul [B][U]STATED[/U] [/B]purpose of keeping the senior driver under 9.5 because. The next day the senior driver will be sent out with over 9.5 and without doing so would be his 3rd occurrence of the week! Lastly, I have read the contract numerous times. Where does it prevent the lowest paid [U]drivers[/U] getting the most hours? [/QUOTE]
