[QUOTE="scooby0048, post: 1226870, member: 50693"] @ouch, I've heard that too and it does say so in the contract but here they do these little "workarounds" The center is short so they are qualifying two of us during peak at the BM's approval. Dont ask me what that means though... @milkman, been doing the seasonal thing for 5 years so I'm not quite a rookie but I am a new full time driver. @brownslave, that was my argument as well. If all stops are off and pickups done by the forecast time, waiting around to close out the letterboxes screws my times since I'm not logging miles or stops...just passing minutes. They say take your lunch while waiting. Well sorry already took my lunch and I'm not going off the clock to sit around and guard their package car when all my work is done, they can pay me to sit and wait or not add the extra stops. Today, I was done at 1630 had to wait til 1700hrs to close the letterbox. Next letterbox couldn't be closed til 1720 and its less than a minute down the road. 50 mins spent waiting to push a button on the diad. As far as being in by default, today is my 33rd day driving and I've not seen the BM or had a check ride. We'll see what happens... [/QUOTE]
