The definition of peak has changed I thought, closer to thanksgiving?

It's the same thing every year, yet seems to come as a surprise to driver anyways.

I'll take two helpers if you do want yours?

....and I'll take your lunch as well if you don't want it.

My favorite is the people that try and claim covid so they don't have to use a helper. Yet they are a foot from your face as they bitch about it.

Feeder drivers will be looking forward to Hamburger Helper starting Wed?

I thought the definition of peak (the period they can use helpers) was changed in this contract to a 5 week period?
And in our center (45 drivers) they said they’re hiring a dozen helpers and 10 Pvd, relatively low number from previous years, because volume is going to be light.

Helpers was not charged. I believe you're thinking of SSDs (PVDs)

That should work out well as helpers sit all say as you drive. Definitely not heavy enough for helpers on most routes.

No drivers should NOT go home. Demand your 8!

Same thing every year, sups not understanding how a helper route with a spread out area due to cuts doesn't work. Fails every time. "But you had a helper"?...

"But you had a helper"?...

A lot of that is management playing a combination of dumb, and GOTCHA!

I genuinely believe it is stupidity. They truly are unable to comprehend the folly of using a helper if the route is spread out. It might be their lack of experience.

200 mile route, I could use the company.

I don't claim covid, I just don't want a helper.

That's fine but if they want to give you one they can. These people try and make a federal case out of it like claiming covid gives them a free pass.

Actually, they can't force me to have someone on car with me. They can take me off my route and put me on a bulk car or something, but then they have to pay me 2 hours penalty daily. They've tried it in the past and I've won. So they just leave me alone now.

 

[KearsargeCoop]

One helper on today, but drivers laid off. Wtf
