I'm still running my Helper plus dealing with a golf cart route. My route usually has 150-160 stops a day, the entire route had 251 yesterday. If I'm still working next year, I will take this week as my first vacation.

I always pick the first available week of the year.

Ahh, the beauty of feeders...I had two stops today: one out, and one back. But it was really cold today. So I played the runner going into the truck stop.

Must be nice. I might have decided to go into feeders two or three years ago if our local didn't completely suck ass.

that way you get a long break and not have to deal helpers again and a overloaded car.

This^ that bs needs to stop.

This^ that bs needs to stop.

Calling out a local union for unfair treatment is NEVER BS. We expect that from the company. But not from the union. That is the BS. And despite the efforts of more than a few people in the local to get them to make corrections there seems to be no hope. Grievances (still pending) are basically ignored.

But this is another thread and has been discussed before. So I digress.

I'm with ya man. They've done the same to us.

Is it really that busy or is it that they have half the crew laid off?

 

[moldsporh]

Tuesday I went out with 237 stops ....here's the deal, it's not the week before xmas, so the stops are more spread out and that's what the ie dept is not understanding.

It takes L O N G E R to del the same number of stops.

I guess they realized my 2330 eta was real so I'm back down to a paltry 175 which is still about 50 stops over diapatch.

It must be still peak. I did two just under 14s Wednesday and Thursday. But I won't be on Friday.. as I only have 9.76 hours available!

Some locals love crapping on the little guys.

 

[brownmonster]

It's still peak. I was one of the last guys in at 7:30.

 

[Shifting Contents]

Peak is over















Not that I would know

 

[Brownpride]

It's 6:40 and I have 70 left plus 15 that another driver just brought me... They want me to finish before 8:45 and bring my pick up volume in to get process GTFO...

 

[Foamer Pyle]

I used a helper every day this week. I do believe business is tapering off, and probably will not have a helper next week.

If you had 70 left, why are other drivers bringing you more?

 

[Brownslave688]

Sounds like all
Of your should be on the 9.5 list already if you want to be.

 

[Savvy412]

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]
