[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 1452438, member: 17867"] The company only contributes for the first 8hrs of the day. They don't pay in extra if you work overtime. So in theory if you can get 8 drivers to run 10 hour routes instead of having 10 drivers running 8 hour routes you save the cost of two pensions, two insurance plans, and two vehicles. Again in theory the amount saved in insurance, pension, and vehicle costs far out weighs the additional expense of the overtime. Often in practice what happens is the plan of 8 drivers running 10 hour routes turns into 8 guys running 11-12 hr routes because the cars are too stuffed to work out of and you have to spend too much time breaking off for businesses and comits because you are spread too thin. But since the Plan thinks it can be done in 10 hours the theory of fewer routes with longer planed days saving money persists. It's all the lazy drivers fault!! [/QUOTE]
