Doing More With Less
It has come to my attention that drivers are being re-re-re-assigned in some rather creative ways in order to avoid giving them any overtime. This is a directive from above. Apparently management does not want to pay what it costs to have a reduced workforce that still must cover more work than there are drivers employed to work it without overtime.
So in some cases dispatchers are letting drivers relieve runs and then pulling them off the run before even one hour has passed so that all drivers on the schedule will get no overtime.
With such non-standard run combinations being created on the fly, extra board operators had better track their pay carefully. If dispatchers don't enter the run information correctly into the computer, you won't get paid. Some dispatchers are known to be less than thorough with computer record keeping. You'd think their last name were Flintstone (hint, hint ;-).
