Second official day of peak

[cosmo1]

Our satellite drivers pull as far as they need to do give the driver their board and pick up pieces. They then deliver the rest and call the OMS with dr locations and such.

Yep, break off to drop pickups in the trailer and back to work. Our guys used two boards and alternated them.

easy day today

easy day today

We were slightly less than yesterday. I won't say "easy" but easier...

 

[MaceFremonti]

One delivery stop, one pick up stop, over 2000 total pieces, about 400 miles, and a 3 hour nap.

I work at freight, kind of we wish had a "peak" so I could make more money.

Do they still force a lunch?

 

[novadriver]

can you get disciplined for not being in before 8pm with a helper? i had 430 pieces with like 30-40 irregs that i left on the slide so i had enough room to start digging my in, 2 drivers took 15 stops off me and then i ended up having to retrace my route to deliver the stuff i left on slide after they brought them to me.

To answer your question-----if you are directed to be in and off the clock by 8 pm and you fail to comply with that directive you can be disciplined for failure to work as directed.

So that means i'm supposed to skip my lunch to be in by 8?

You will receive a verbal warning to not let it happen again or you will receive a second verbal warning. You should be shaking in your boots.

Take your lunch, and message in a bit before you need to start heading in with the number of missed to get in by 8, and as long as you messaged in earlier(3-5pm) that you needed help, they can do nothing to you.

 

[PT Car Washer]

Of course a lot depends on how many stops you did that day. 12 hours and 50 stops you are most likely finished.

No.

And once he's done yelling, he'll probably thank you for getting rid of everything.

Lol come on bro not even the rookies I work with would believe that.

 

[novadriver]

my sup said, "i sent you two people to take stops off you and this is what you do?" i told him if they didnt take the stops off id be in by 10. he didnt like that. i try and do my best, and i walk those pkgs off fast as i can but its never good enough for ups lol

 

[TooTechie]

I just ignore their helper hour rules. They set up the helper to start at 11:00 AM, I tell him the next day I will meet him at my 1st stop and keep him to the last stop. Just ignore them.

Same. I was "authorized" for 6.5 helper hours today. Worked him 10 hours.

You have a peak...on my truck. I had at least 8 pieces that had no business being on my truck and should have gone freight. I left 2 in building because it wasn't safe to put them in my truck today.

Guess what? Your sup sat in the office all day doing just about nothing and then his Center manager jumped him because of this and that. Don't even give it a second thought. Tomorrow is another day and whatever happened today is forgotten. Unless you really do suck. Then we don't need you.
