Being sent home 3 days in a row

[Scuderia1]

I am new it has been 2 weeks of me driving myself. It's really hard to miss days because of bills and stuff. I am on the training run, they say my centre has the most hours and is the busiest. They say we are understaffed by 3-4 ppl. There is one training class going on right now.

My first 2 weeks were solid day here there. But is this normal when your new.

Yes it's normal to be sent home if they don't need you. But if your center is understaffed...why aren't they sending you out?

Something ain't jiving here?

That's what I heard that my centre is understaffed through another sup and a couple of other ppl. This is stressful but I guess it's part of the process right?

Different rules in the states, you need to speak to HR or someone.

You might suck and they just don't want you to work. I'd ask around and see if there are any sups working or if any FT drivers would like the day off.

I would say it is normal except for the under staffed part. I started May 6 and have only worked on solid week. 2 of the other weeks I worked 4 days and last week I only worked 3 days. Of course one of those 2 days I was off one was Memorial Day here in the US.

In my center it is not uncommon for new guys to get sent home. There are also drivers in my center that have been driving for 3+ years that still get sent home.

I know sir but the only thing that matters for is when I mentioned I had off Memorial Day. I did state that was a US holiday. However being sent home is being sent home. I don't give a damn if he lives on Mars.

I also stated I was off another day last week and several others in prior weeks.

English a second or third language?

It's normal to be off a lot your first year.

EVERYBODY above you in seniority needs to work before you. Not to mention you can only cover 1 route so its easy to get bumped off.

Way to stomp on the kids already crushed confidence.

It is all a game. Keep up with everyday you drive. Write it down and keep good records. It could be a hard year for you. Keep in mind today you want to work and can not get enough hours. 5 years from now you can not get a day off and work 11 plus hours a day. Use the methods and ride on.
