Here we go again.... every t/m runs his barn the way he want's..... not on a consistant,by the book Estes policy. When I worked p@d, just like what you said, rongizmo, the senoir drivers would ask for days off to help the bottom guys... Problem was.... they were never given the days off, and the bottom guy seldom worked. Driving around to different barns now, I can never hear the same story, as to how they handle the slow times. Pretty much, shut up and put up ,or go on down the road, if it doesn't work for you
