Exploitation
JB Hunt intermodal
I'm writing this message as I am trapped inside a rail yard after delivering my final container of the day. I've been trapped in here for roughly 35 minutes. I receive no compensation for this time. This happens roughly 3 times a week. That's an hour and 45 minutes a week multiplied by 52... add in 25 minute pre and post trip that is done daily with no compensation and we are looking at 2.5 hours. So, 2.5 plus 1.45 puts a little over 4 hrs of work a week pro bono.
This is just a drop in he bucket. Add in the 2 hours a day spent getting in and out of a customers and it's 6 hours of my day that is not compensated.
I can't believe we tolerate this. It's exploitation. But, our backs are to the wall. We have to pay bills. Driving a truck sucks.
