Summary

Undertime isn’t just misunderstood—it’s weaponized. In this episode of Hot House with Richie Ray , we break down the truth behind undertime versus actual time and expose how management uses projections to pressure carriers, deny overtime, and create discipline. This is a two-part deep dive in one episode: We connect the dots between pivots, projections, safety, anddocumentation—and show why undertime only exists on paper, while actual timelives on the street. If you’ve ever been told to “make 8,” this episode is for you.
