    Seems if seniority plays a role in vacation. 21 days a year wouldn't mean anything if you can't take it.

    You can take it, you just might not get the weeks you wanted.

    neg grass hopper. when you do the first of the year per week pickings request(whole weeks). then thats when it matters. outside of that u can call in and take a day off when ever. wm doesnt have a call out policy for drivers. my dc just cant have more then 10 drivers out at onetime. so if that day or days are available then its yours too take off.

    You wouldn't get days. You could easily get anything between 2200 and 0200. Our gtm focuses on m/p depart times. I was a 1900 out and didnt like it a few weeks after rebid. He switched me to 2200 as i requested no questions asked. And he moved the truck with me. M/p is where the money is.

    Think about the cost of a rack of ribs or lobster. Then think about the price of a tub of cottage cheese or frozen pizza.

    I understand your point, but consider the cost of a 65"4k Samsung tv, vs any food product.

    In my opinion the premium is paid because of the graveyard hours most M&P runs 2000-0600, & getting guys off their normal schedule and willing to run it.

    Also do all trucks have APU'S with 110v converters? Eventually can you have a route that you run every week? And can you wife still ride with?
