The example I was using was labor relations started going through the contracts with a fine-toothed comb under the direction of EHH. They were able to find wording in the contract we work under (the B&O) that there was language that enabled the carrier to pay deadheads however they wanted. So your deadhead in the pool went from the trip rate of whichever pool you were called in to time consumed...which is usually about 3 hours. I'd say was DH pretty frequently because the pools can get pretty lopsided at times...and sometimes you DH both ways. That's a big difference going from the trip rate on a DH to $84.
NS a few years ago actually started to pay a full day on a deadhead.
Those times were tough years ago when they didn’t.
We had a Trainmaster that would let us move one car in the yard to be able and collect a full day when the time consumed was in place. Good guy to do that for us.
