    I asked to go to Vegas once. Got a broken water pump and a denied home time request instead.

    Still have not gotten an answer on what the home time policy is now. I'm honestly afraid to put my next home time request in. I'm tired of fighting for earned time off.

    Lol... I just do what Alan Jones gives me. I become an instant "yes sir, no sir."

    He's been dispatching me the last few loads for some reason. New driver stuff?

    Definitely no complaints from me. Just thought it was pretty cool delivering there today.

    I put in for home time today for next weekend (15-16) and it was approved in about an hour.

    Just put your request in and see. 1 day for every 6 days out is what go by.
     
    popcorn169 and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.

    Out 6 Days ... Home 1 Day

    Do what so many here do... when you come off home time immediately put in for your next home time for 2 weeks out. Work 12 days then home for 2... rinse, repeat...

    "afraid"??? I certainly would not work someplace where I was fearful to communicate with the office.

    By the way, have you spoken to the HR Manager about your concerns? Have you spoken to the Vice President of Operations about your concerns?
     
    ChrisL Thanks this.
