    Wow you guys are sitting a lot. Not good. How long is it supposed to take to get compensated for the things you put in for? I would certainly expect it on my next check and if it weren't there I'd be on the phone to the payroll person or my boss. If I felt like I was getting stiffed, I'd go work somewhere else.

    I feel for you guys sitting and not getting compensation. Hopefully things will improve!! If it makes you feel any better we been sitting too alot. Seems freight has slowed down a bit..but it goes up and down naturally.

    I head out tomorrow for my first extended time out. I'm very interested to see how they dispatch me.

    Well, never got to talk with Walter as he's pretty busy (short staffed today) but talked with Chris and got a hook and drop from Richmond yard to WM yard. At least I'm finally rolling. Walter assures me we'll speak about the compensation issues. I'll take his word on it. So far, our "communication" @JohnBoy has been a VAST improvement. :)

    Be safe y'all. ;)
