It's funny how many drivers put up with schedules they don't like, conditions they don't like, people they don't like.
As it has always been, it is the driver that really has the power to dictate conditions.
All it takes is the ability to say 'NO'.Dockbumper and haz-matguru Thank this. -
Could you imagine if we all said "NO" just for three days and just sat.
But with pay, hours and parking all being problems for a long time and nothing happens. What could bring drivers together to do it? -
My company you can run 5-6 or 7 days.
I schedule Sun noon to Thursday noon... once a month I'll work a Friday, but I'm home at noon.
That 7 days out 1 day off is crazy.
We have drivers who stay out 3 to 4 weeks, schedule 4 to 5 days of, maybe more...park truck at plants or home, they don't get punished by losing their truck... their truck is their truck. -
