does your company use "on-call" dispatch phones were the phone is passed from supervisor to supervisor on a rotational basis ? if so do you like the idea? and what is the duration of your "on-call" dispatch ?
with my company each supervisor carries the phone for one week and is required to answer it from 6pm to 6am EVERYDAY even if your not on sched. YOU MUST ANSWER the phone, then notify who ever needs to be notified of the problem rather via radio or calling thier phone... we get lucky and only have to carry for 7 days.. sunday to - sat/sun , but ive heard of companies that do it on 30 day rotations... that would suck ! but then agian you wouldnt get it for another 3 months or so.... here we get it every 4th week.. basically 4 sups.... :P so basically once a month...
