Driver Day Offs

[HULKAMANIA]

How many centers out there are giving drivers this week and next week off? Is this something normal that every center does? The way they are doing this right now is worse than peak!

I've been off since Monday, I'm Reg-temp though so... who knows...

 

[HULKAMANIA]

Well the guys they gave the weeks off to are upper seniority. Im just curious if this is something that they do?

Only been with UPS a year so I wouldn't know.. They haven't done it at ours though as far as I know.

Yes. Maybe not so in package as much anymore but definitely in feeder.

There were a few guys off on Tuesday but it's all on deck now as the volume is high.

It's the first week of the year we've got nine off just like every year.

4 req this week off no pay. I wish I could think this far ahead.

How does it feel to be #1? I'll never make it there. Maybe 4 or 5

Nice!

I'm actually waiting for a 22.3 just ahead of me to retire. His job description is "nothing."
