How does overtime work in sleepers with an extra run? For example I work half my 5th day in sleeper and my 6th day starts in the middle of the return leg.
Central states, I'm normally scheduled 5 days in brown.

Ours wouldn't count your 5th punch until that leg is complete, so your credit for the 5the punch happened in the middle of your 6th day. However, if the run starts before Sunday, all legs count on the previous weeks check until you return to your home domicile. We have a bunch that start late Saturday evening so they are prime to get paid $$$.

Its like OT for holidays. It doesn't happen unless the leg finishes on the holiday, at least that's how ours works.

Don’t they use a percentage of people on the seniority list for this?

I mean they would have to. People have to have picks. It’s gonna be slim pickings though by the time it reaches the bottom.

Trust me I get it, but screw up my sleep schedule for a month knowing I'm going back regardless? Nope. My easiest days as a package driver were during peak.

Out of all the things about this company, how vacations work is the thing I hate the most.
Can't plan a vacation in January when you don't pick until December.
Deciding how to use vacation for the next 12 10 months.
No peak vacations
Pray to Allah that your spouse can get the same time off in such short notice of knowing what's available and having to pick.
Gotta use a whole week for just a weekend getaway.
Get paid less than if you just work.
