Why not 8.0 hour list instead of 9.5?

[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 3556751, member: 48469"] 9.5 was negotiated because it strikes a reasonable balance between the needs of the Company and the needs of the driver. Just because I believe 8 hour days aren’t reasonable doesn’t mean I think 11-14 hour days are. 8 hour days are standard in the US because most workers can punch in and get right to work. Whereas for me, an hour of my on the clock day is spent traveling between my center and delivery area. Which, in an 8 hour day would leave 6 hours for delivery after my lunch. So I guess the question for me would be: Could the Company provide the resources, infrastructure, and pay and benefits to everyone if a vast number of drivers, including top rate drivers, are only touching cardboard for 6 to 6.5 hours a day year round?
