309 too.
That 6 hours of work includes the 2 hour naps at Willow Springs. And that is drudgery, the least 309 could do is give them sleepers. I'm told the day cabs are very uncomfortable for sleeping.

Bought it at JC Whitney¡¡
Local 705 must be one tough local.
Sadly, the dependence on shuttle contributes to a point on some of our service failures.
And where's CF today?
One of the first people I worked with at Roadway Albuquerque, vanished while we were stripping a 45' trailer on the midnight shift. I found him farther into the strip, asleep on top of the freight.That 6 hours of work includes the 2 hour naps at Willow Springs. And that is drudgery, the least 309 could do is give them sleepers.
