[QUOTE="hondo, post: 855014, member: 8661"] From what I've seen, the co. has been steadily been making inroads to making this a reality. I believe this [U]will[/U] happen. Carefully read your supplement's definitions of [I]workday, workweek, guarantees, alternate schedule, etc[/I]. I'd bet a dollar to a doughnut there are enough twists and turns (concessions) already in there.Part timers? Their language is 1 giant loophole, big enough to park a set of triple pups [U]and[/U] a turnpike doubles in, lengthwise!The employer has the option of using the 70 hour in 8 days limit, as long as the driver still has the 34 hour reset.It's my understanding many supplements now have provided for a 5 [B]consecutive[/B] day workweek, [I]6th[/I] day @ OT for future schedules. If (or when) enough routes are consistently cut on Mondays, why wouldn't there then be a bunch of 'new' routes up for bid Tuesday through Saturday? If the word [B]consecutive[/B] is taken out (in 2013) of the first sentence above, you have an 'any 5 in 7 day' workweek. I have seen air drivers on such a schedule (current Article 40 section 1(c) language). Something else to consider: areas with a lot of apartments/condos that are not appropriate for D.R., nor do they have an office or package receiving room, already have a lot of send-agains in the building that could be used to build a Saturday dispatch. Might not necessarily be too successful, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be tried (I'm sure the driver would be blamed if it fails :wink2:). Or, the co. works on shrinking the residential delivery volume (as has been rumored on this site), concentrating on M-friend business deliveries. [/QUOTE]
