Talked to TM last night was told this " All I can say is as of right now we are running a full hub and line haul 12/31/09 new years eve".

s$$and Ime on vacay that week going to miss all the fun happy new years

Once again the "people" making these IDIOT decisions are not out there with us ......... hmmmm ..... But oh,,, I bet some IDIOT made a nice bonus for showing it on their computer,,,,, that would be a first huh ??? No input from us dumb peon's who actually have to do it.......

Why work? The damn freight will be sitting in the trailers til Mon morning anyway. The night drivers (Hub & Shuttle ) always gets screwed on the holidays, as we work the morning of the holidays anyways. I bet the purchace drivers arent going to have to work. I will call off and use a vacation day for New Years eve, as we take a beating on holiday pay as it is.

I dont know what you all are crying about this is why fedex started to use purchase trailers for situations like this.
all you have to do is let your ccm know you dont feel safe running with all the drunks and they can just call for a extra PT to haul it and you can stay home see how that works?

Before I started trucking I worked every New Years Eve. Just part of the business I was in. Since then I have been scheduled or volunteered to work it if it meant someone else could have it off. It's not that big a deal to me to work it. I'd just as soon make some money anyway. Just let me have Christmas Eve off and I'll be good.
