time off without pay question

We accrue time off at 2 days per 5 worked, so all drivers can be home every week for 2 days or every other weekend for 4 days, or take a week off every month.

We're good earners in the truck so they've never had a peep to say about time off. Had 6 weeks off this year on top of regular weekends.

 

sure they do especially if youre a hard runner。your dispatcher wont have a problem with it。thats like an extra bonus for all the hard work you do。

 

this is true, about running hard. i used to do Long haul, not his OTR crap they tried cleaning it with, and i ran hard, never wanting to go home for at least 4 weeks at a time. so when i had time off, i asked for a couple of extra days, (usually 4 days in total, and i got them).

i'd keep in contact with my 2 dispatchers however, (nightly), and they held me to my time off.

which i appreciated, but i was getting bored sitting at home..lol.....i wanted to run.

then the next time again, i'd ask for an extra day or so, got'em..............i was a confused child.

 

my dispatcher at werner gave me an extra day when I got home time.I never had anyone try so hard to get me out of quitting as she did so I stayed another year.

 

dam Canadians.

i say let's go to war with them bastachits.
