    I have wondered myself why they do it. But I know I didn't pass. The worst thing is we don't do any of that on the job as far as having to Winding landing gear at 90 RPMs or stacking pallets. To me it's a little stupid but I'm sure they do it for insurance reasons or something like that. But I doubt you would have much problem with it.

    Averaging about 2800. Had a slack week last week because a receiver held me up for two and a half days. Only about 1800 that week. Thankfully that doesn't happen very often.

    Holy crap, I hope was at least in an area with something to do. Two and a half days, that's unreal.

    Yeah as long as your own time. Anything over 2 hours. Luckily is something I don't get very often.

    I kind of got screwed on that one. I had a 5:30 a.m. appointment time and when they gave me the load there was no way I would have enough time to get there. I got there at 11 a.m. but the guard said they stopped at 9 a.m. they only unloaded from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. of course the company didn't know that and neither did I. So being it was Friday I had untill 1 a.m. Sunday night.

    That sucks man, but what can ya do. Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail. But either way you got the short end of the stick.
