ABF | 12 WEEKS!!!!

[Streaker69]

At just 40 hrs a week a city driver would have worked 2080 hrs. That still leaves 4 1/2 weeks of paid time off and still hit 1900!!

It says "drives 1900 hours". Wouldn't they be going off of driver logs since that's how drive time is determined? If a p/d driver does 11 or 12 stops and spends 20 minutes at each stop, 30 minutes on a pre/post trip and 20-45 minutes sorting paperwork, offer the course of a 10 hour day, that's about 5 hours a day of driving. That's about 15 hours a week short of that 1900 goal.

What about the fork lift drivers that only drive a few times a week, if at all?

This article says “logged 1900 hrs of on duty time”, so who knows….

They get screwed just like yard guys. neither one of them qualify for the 15,000 hour awards that the city guys get.

They are going to do a year extension to negotiate at the same time as Yellow.

why would they do an extension?? we have nothing to do with what yrc does. abf broke away and went on their own long long time ago. it’s 2 seperate contracts don’t start unnecessary rumors.
