:Bondage:no pay cuts?well,not in the true sense of the word cut.how about pay reduction.if you run 5 linehayl trips a week, and are missing one or two a week,or a team setting home 2 or 3 days a week, or a city friver on oercentage picking up less freight, or you usually spend a total of 9 hours a night on your run, and now or setting and waiting for an extra hour or two with no pay for your load, or a team setting enough in one week waiting for loads while outside carriers trake load after load,that nyou miss a whole days pay, or you sit at your turn point extra while your slip drivers is late due to him sitting.get the picture.rl isnt cutting pay, but you are working longer to get the same or less pay.same end result.you make less because they are not paying for as much work.some of it is the economy,some of it is inertitude on managements part, some of it employee attitudes .i would like to know how many un paid man hours are spent each night by drivers having to wait for a load at their terminals?got to be outrageous.i read all the posting about how great the roberts are,how grateful we all are, how christian they are.heres the deal as we have all seen lately.if they were so great,they would do abetter job of managing the transition we keep hearing about.i have no argument with changing to meet business conditions,but there appears to be no consideration for the employee.i know you diehard company boosters will castrate me over this post, but facts are facts.no work,endless waiting for loads, unpaid, is not right.some of you guys who have to wait every day add the total time spent on your workweek.sort of brings down the pay,huh?as far as gratitude, i do like my job,but i mam worth my pay, and my time ids also worth something.good job or not, waiting is stealing from the driver.
