[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 258941, member: 7185"] I did the same thing you suggested: giving them 100% of my work, reliable, flexible, etc. The OMS's at the Center knew my name because I would call EVERY day to see if another driver needed help after I was done. The result was that I worked with something like 8 or 10 drivers. After our blizzards last year, I kept working when 1/3 of the helpers refused to answer their phones. I primarily worked with two drivers, by the way. The first one I worked with called me one morning after our SECOND blizzard, asking if I'd already set up a meet time/point with my second driver. I said I had. Poor guy went NUTS over the phone, SCREAMING expletives in frustration. He asked that I call if I had the energy after I was done with the driver I was working with. That driver showed up, we did about a dozen stops and I said, "By the way, X called me this morning asking for my help if I got done and had the energy to continue." The guy didn't even look up from his board as he grunted and answered, "You won't have the energy. We have about 230 stops left." Next day, the second driver called, we set up a meet-point and I went back to bed. Fifteen minutes later, he called back and said, "I'm going to loan you to X, OK? He's screwed." We were out for 9.5 hours that day. Poor guy had another hour's worth of work to do when the recall order came. Not a happy camper. We were close to getting caught up and my second driver said, "Oh, by the way, the center manager told us this morning that if our helper is interested in part-time inside work, to get the name and SSN. He'll give the info to HR for priority hire." I was released the next morning and HR called less than 72 hours later. I started inside on January 28th. UPS and I separated on October 11th. If hard-work is something you love, UPS will give it to you--in spades! -Rocky [/QUOTE]
