I have been getting plenty of miles from May since I started with them nearly 18 months ago, but I am not on a dedicated/regional run either. The company is very tight on idling times. This winter they installed Webasto bunk heaters in company-owned units, then they said that during Winter (October-April) idling must be kept to 7% or less. That is tight, but the Webasto is a better heater than the cab heater. If the Phoenix loop was not working I don't know why the original complainant did not try to get off of it. Apparently he was not the only one. That loop along with the tri-state region (CA, AZ, NV) have been discontinued and is now part of the Western 11. Also, the post-departure charges noted may not have been actual charges at the time. It may have been in the YTD section. Their settlement sheets take some adjustment. As of April 1, 2006, a wage increase went into effect.
