[QUOTE="over9five, post: 3596777, member: 1401"] A long time ago, I was literally the bottom man in Feeders, and the bid came up. When they got to me, there was only one spot left, Sleeper cover. I refused to bid, went to the office and told them I wouldn't do it. "You have to, it's the only spot left". I would have taken this all the way, I feel that strongly about it. You don't know what your co-driver's been going thru in his life, marital problems, health issues, DID HE GET ENOUGH SLEEP LAST WEEK? Anyhow, talked to my steward and HERE they can't force you to go OTR. They ended up calling the next guy on the list back from Package, and I stayed regular cover. Yup, happened here 4 or 5 years ago. The man who was in the bunk is now paralyzed. My worst fears about running Sleeper come true for this poor guy. He's a hero, great wife, young children, making the best of things. Something I could not do. [/QUOTE]
