Wonder about what? Bottom line is that if I'm on the job, then I expect to be paid. Just like 100% of other union or non-union blue collar jobs besides trucking. It's as simple as that. The only exception is for a lunch break which the company deducts 1/2 hour out of my daily pay.
Until I got into trucking, I never encountered a group of people who argue so hard about not getting paid for their time. Nor have I met a bunch so happy with penny raises either. It's truly amazing when you think about it.
Whatever. All I know is that these OTR freebies are bullshit. I don't know why you people put up with such nonsense, but if that's what makes you happy then have at it. Whatever rocks your boat. Just don't expect me to work, wait, or drive for free. My time and labor are worth more than that.
Snowman's right, this thread's worn it's welcome out long ago. It's senseless arguing with people who assign a $0.00 value to their time, so I'm done here.

Why, indeed?
BTW, the Browns look good this year, Snowman. They really made some nice off-season moves.
