We’re being told that the week after Thanksgiving will be super busy this year. All time off requests have been denied or cancelled, even our mechanics.
They’ve hired 4 new combo drivers with another 2 more coming in the next week or two (that we didn’t need) in anticipation for this. So far they are canceling line haul drivers so the new drivers can work. I asked one of the line haul drivers about it and he said they told him he could just use a vacation day and we can’t let the new guys sit home and not work. Plus, it cheaper to work a new hire. We’ve always been encouraged to cash our vacation days in, (which I refused to do) but I don’t want to use them this way either.
