Sounds illegal to me. But yeah, I'd have to come in for 2 hours before OT only for Friday to be a 16. Never had them shift around hours though. And yes, you live and breathe that place on Combo or Line. P&D guy usually stayed around 40 hours. Under or over a little.

naw, ain’t no worker rights in the south. Don’t even have to legally give you a lunch break when you’re a local driver.

Give it a few more years. We’ll pay them to work.

Just wondering how often you guys get brand new trucks? I just got a ‘26 International handed to me. It’s not a bad truck, except for all the nanny stuff. It’s pretty much a carbon copy of my original one here.

I’m to the point now where I get one about every 3 years, although back in ‘06 they handed me an almost new Mack with 50K miles on it. That one I was in for 12 years, and was the last of those trucks to still have the original front bumper when it left.
