[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1139438, member: 33696"] that's not their proper label, but it's fedex managers that are doing the dispatching... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok, fun Sat... i had to be a "manager" and juggle 10 drivers for the contractor on Sat. i look at their routes and make sure to "flex" stops from one to the other so a driver won't be slammed & can get home at a decent time by at least 1800 then go through the settlements & make the drivers sign them & collect the signed status door tags follow up on claims/disputes & make sure the drivers will attempt to recall the details of those stops see if there are any vehicle problems during the pre-trip inspections & call for a rental if needed or the terminal mechanic for a quick fix (nothing today ~ whew!) good thing my brother was finished from his warehouse job at a nearby ups location; i called him in to drop by and scan/load/sort my boxes to my own route while i was doing all this... got on the road by 0830! long dead-head time to the service area 1.5 hours & almost 2 hours of return-to-base driving time (all unpaid! yay!) 7 hours on-road service time, so that wasn't bad. but coming in at 0430 to juggle all that crap before i had to go out and do my own route sucks for $165 gross clocked out at 2000 should i have asked the contractor for more? PS: my brother from UPS after he saw how easy it was on a HD terminal vs his UPS terminal the package handlers were getting more $ at team purple & he saw how easy it was for them to just dump the boxes on a pallet vs ups / ground loading the vehicles [/QUOTE]
