Being a dock hand I was wondering........ will 10 hour drive times = more drivers or more meet and turns and sleepers? DS.

Here at 120 we had alot of meets+turns before all of the recent changes. Will it help, yes to some degree in my opinion. Company has already shorten the run times on most of our trips. If the trucks would run a steady 62mph up hill and on flats the 10 rule wouldn't hurt us. I ask dispatch about the uses of sleepers from our barn. They said it wasn't cost effective using all start bids but would be if half on call + half on bids.
 
I was told today by ATM that 120 will be laying off 5 drivers this weekend and good chance more by following weekend. No numbers for the dock/yard.

I heard it was going to be a voluntary 5 guys. What did boing boing say. I heard one of our stewards said boing said they were laying off 15% of our labor force.
 
Boing Boing said it would be voluntary lay-off, which would be good for the guys who just got called back. I don't want to see any teamster starve so this should help junior men.

Oh yeah, I'm wondering if it was crap-sack (yard steward ) that you heard this from.For some unknown reason he likes to start rumors. Boing just told me maybe more lay-offs will occur if freight remains slow. He mention nothing of 15%, time will tell.
