22.4 Drivers started today apparently

[FrigidFTSup]

Our center manager told us this morning that going over 9.5 is a thing of the past, it won't happen anymore. And its almost Peak Season? Sure...

I like optimists but damn

I was dispatched very light today. We were started an hour early at 8:00 AM and I walked out the gate at 4:30 and got some guarantee pay to drive home. The Braves/Dodgers game started then, that didn't end well for Atlanta.

Same here but 8:15. No sign that we would get a light day until it happened.
We did roll a double or more that arrived late at 8:40. Not a ton for a large center but tomorrow should be interesting.

So today at PCM our Center Manager said he had a surprise for us. About 30 seconds later about 15 guys dressed in browns walked into where we were standing at PCM and our center manager said these new guys are the new 22.4 drivers and they will be treated with the utmost respect and if anything other than that was reported to him actions would be taken. He then rattled off a list of names (all senior drivers on the 9.5 list) and had these guys ride with the drivers to start to learn the area. He then said another slew of these 22.4 drivers would be coming in next week. He said once we get into 2019 almost all drivers can expect a 22.4 driver to meet them around 4:30 and they’ll be taking over the remaining work for that day keeping almost all RPCD’s at 8 hours a day. Apparently the only OT we’ll be seeing will be in peak season. Sad days ahead indeed.

You must have to paper boy (throw) those deliveries to the door. Because you can’t leave the other packages unsecured. Maybe he has a helper.

We don't have enough package cars now.

They'll have plenty of money to buy package cars with all the o/t they won't be paying you.

Ive seen drivers leave the bulkhead door open and walk around a apt complex for 15 minutes.... many don’t care

What about the cost of the benefits for all of the new drivers??

In 3 years when profits are cut in half someone is gonna realize a decimal point was in the wrong place.

You're not the only one losing o/t it sounds like.

I would love to see 22.4 work this way.


Drivers start between 7:30-8. No air just get right to work.


22.4 work the last couple hours of preload then go deliver air and any late trailers or areas that were heavy.

Drivers consistently back before 5 pm

I don't owe anyone anything. Anything I make in overtime goes into savings ,one way or another.

Much cheaper to pay 2 drivers 12 hours than it is to pay 3 drivers 8 hours.

 

[Brownslave688]

For sure.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

For sure.

Nice to get home and actually have a couple of hours before you have to go to bed.

No ot would be great 2080 hours minus about 400 hours in benefits. I’ll only have to work 1680 hours a year. Oops I forgot to add in holidays.
