I wonder if:
The guy that drives the Fire Truck, does his pay start when he get's to the fire?
The UPS guy, does he only get paid when comes out of the truck and brings in a package or pick one up?
The Law officer, does he get paid only when he is out of the car doing his duty?
The people who deliver the mail, do they get paid only when they are "stuffing" mail boxes?
How about the ambulance driver, only when loading or unloading a patient?
The guy who brings fuel to a gas station, does he get paid only when he is dropping fuel?
Let us not forget the garbage truck driver, does he get paid only when he tips a dumpster or the dude on the back throws a bag on
How about the guy from the water dept. who comes out and cuts off the water cause you didnt pay your bill, does he only get paid when he turns the the valve?
I could go on and on, but I think the point has been made.
I would venture to say they get paid for driving, Then why the **** would a Road tech be expected to drive for nothing?
I would like to have someone in management explain to me why they would. I don't get it , where did this mentality come from, wait.. I know the answer!! from an IDIOT manager!!! who gets a bonus for his big numbers at the end of the month!!!
Just my 2 cents, or as Ed would say "In my humble opinion"

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
