All Air Drivers To Be Eliminated?

[Catatonic]

Air drivers usually cause a big hit to on road PPH

Exactly, I knew there was a huge push to get rid of them in the late 90's.

In my previous district using them was very much frowned upon. Beginning of the year they eliminated a lot of positions.

And if you were ever using them for ground you better go and hide.

I have lost track of how many times I have rushed to get a NDA delivered only to come back later that day only to see it still sitting there.

The big problem we have on Saturdays are the airs for non-committed areas. Our software does list the Saturday zips but does not prevent processing a Saturday air for a non-committed zip.

What?
Something is wrong with your data.
Saturday air eligibility has to flagged in the table.
Is this within the same ZC where some areas are eligible?

I need air driving positions to stick around. They provide me work when routes get cut lol

This can only be corrected by the District IE responsible for OPSYS data.

You can suck the clock doing other things.

I'm surprised. Normally we could find a higher seniority guy to go home. Usually had his personal vehicle started before I finished the sentence.

OPSYS also applies to air? Have only used it for internationals. They FINALLY migrated it to a web based program last year.

I start in a new building in two weeks. Should be interesting to see the difference.

They moan here when you tell them you better move some airs off me if you don't want lates. Your call. Sometimes they do, most times they don't. When they don't get an air driver to take some, they get lates. Just happened on Friday. Said he didn't have anyone. Said have fun eating 3 or 4 late air. He ate 5 late air.

I might be out-of-date ...
OPSYS use be only for countries outside the US/PR.
When the architecture changed for maintaining and retrieving Pickup data, OPSYS was expanded to include the US.
OPSYS supports different pickup cut-off times and days of week by postal code and by service level.
It also supports closed days (holidays, MLK day marches in DC, etc.).

I have had to pull the truck off the road, shut it down, clock out, and wait for them to come shuttle me back to the center.

You had to sit there and wait off the clock?

No he chose to.

Why so much time off between assignments?

Yes. This is done to show that he is no longer on road. His time card would then be adjusted to reflect his total working hours.

I do as well. i work around 10 hours every saturday

Nope.

He should have stayed clocked in. It doesn't matter that he is still showing "on road." He just cannot drive after being on duty for 14 hours.

I would have stayed on the clock, not driven the package car and clocked out when I was back at the building.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

Not on Saturday.

It will be used if they have it already.
