    All this waiting we have to do now is ridiculous at 14 dolla an hour that's ridiculous. We should be making 25 dollar an hour easily for have to set at vendors and wait for empties especially when they are doing pull aheads. I'm not going to go on layover early or give them hours. I stay on duty and set there and wait.

    That's why I don't save hours. On go home day they run me to the end, but day 2,3,4, they let me sit for 4-6hrs at a vendor. I run hard, go off duty for showers and 30 min break, and that's it. I had a bump 2 weeks ago that was 22 miles away, I had 5 hrs for the day left and they say "you'll be lucky to get back here tonight because there isn't an empty for you. Then why send me at 15:00 for a 14:00 bump the next day 25 minutes away knowing I'll sit all night?

    The
    more they take away, the more they lower the standards to work here. Eventually we'll be no different then regular carriers. :dontknow:

    At least you are being paid to wait. You could be somewhere else where they won't or try to out you on any kind of detention time. No one likes change especially when things are removed. Keep in mind, this is a business and with any business, you must evolve. I don't want to see us go by way of K-Mart.

    Try to think about the bigger picture. We have thought about ourselves a lot in the past. All I can say is just wait things out and see what happens. That is what I'm gonna do.

    I haven't gotten my last 2 sheets. My coordinator hasn't been in and I've just gone to a different window. There has to be another way to check
