    ....In other words, favoritism. :cool:

    3 nights?

    I think I could find it in my heart to handle running nights that long.

    When your boss tells you it's time to walk

    it's time to walk

    I don't this really requires the 2 week notice thing either. They changed the deal, not you.

    I'd certainly be burning sick days and vacation days before I actually walked out the door, but no, no I don't think I'd be doing another lick of work for this company.

    If it helps any, similar BS just peaked for me as well. I'm still under a year, so not an easy shoe-in. Have you looked at mail carriers around there? Pretty regular compared to LTL.

    Put a request in for Friday and Saturday off, we only had 1 other driver request off for this week. Dan texted me Friday afternoon and asked if I want to burn some flex and take the whole week off. Chain now has 3 drivers off all week. Schools are closed all or most of the week and why double guys up when some of us have flex to burn by the end of the year. I also requested the week between Christmas and New Years off.

    Your tractor is in the ready line in front of the shop. My buddy did zone this morning and checked when he got back.

    I somehow minuplated a 3 day weekend avoid the fun in Wyoming. System is down for maintenance so they gave me the option. Then after less then two weeks on the Extraboard(system) I got a schedule. M-F around 1800 gross a week. We have 0 extra linehaul drivers. This Barn is busy as heck city and linehaul. Need both. Here on out I’ll have a bid. Perfect timing. With this bid I’ll be able to have a 4 day weekend for thanksgiving.
     
    Bob Dobalina, speedyk and road_runner Thank this.
