It is supposed to snow here on Wednesday so I put my request in this past Wednesday.
Bet you hate that extra, free beer money?

Yeah buddy, they got me yesterday, rolled in about 9:30. They had to send a driver 30 miles to get my pickups. But I get to drink Sam Adams instead of Old Milwaukee this weekend!

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Really that's pretty crappy. Unless you have something to do get out there and deliver. They can't help snow. It's for this reason I rarely file 9.5 when snow was a factor in me being over.

I tend to disagree with you on this one. When they bust routes and there are other drivers on layoff, why not put them all on the street in bad weather and get everyone in a little earlier?

We had drivers bringing back EC stuff Friday. Some routes brought back 80+ because of the massive influx in volume due to Wendsday not working.

Usually if there is enough snow that impacts the delivering of packages, center imposes a curfew and brings drivers in no later than 7.

Friday 1/31/14 we were instructed to NOT sheet any undelivered packages as Missed but EC,regardless of whether an attempt was made or not. I worked 0825-2225 and brought back 37 stops. I figure we'll get hammered pretty hard the next several days volume wise

I see your point, and used to feel that way myself. However, I'm near the top of the seniority list, which means two things. I can get an 8hr request any time I want one and also I'm old. Winter in general and snow in particular is hard on this old dude. And....the dude abides.
Try the Sam Adams...Cold Snap.....and dont forget to thank your center manager, for the free.....good beer!

Now in the drug test pool
friend'em Friday at our center even includes our stretch led by our safety guy, "everyone grab your ankles and bend over".
Afraid to file? Like they are afraid to give you a warning letter! If they violate you 9.5. rights...file file. file..it gives you a bargaining chip, when they pull out , one of their mythical warning letters!
