[QUOTE="mrbrownstone, post: 1335680, member: 53460"] When I originally posted this I wrote that I was on day 16 but it was actually day 15. Anyway, today would have been my 17th day but I was listed as an extra and wound up going home :( I am a little concerned about getting hours as a driver because I have spent a lot of time talking to guys in my center who have been driving 3+ years and are still TCDs and still get put on the extra list. It sounds like in my center you have to know 6-7 routes to get somewhat decent hours and I talked to one driver who I believe knows 13. I'm not sure of there are any exceptions to this or how many hours most of these drivers actually get. For example I remember seeing a bid sheet over peak with 2 routes that appeared that no one wanted cause they are crappy routes. I would happily take a crappy route for the money. I was also told my other drivers that even once you get your 30 days of you make it they can still hold you from getting seniority for a while. At a pcm this week the center manager congratulated a guy for getting his seniority after 2 years. Even he gets put on the extra list sometimes. He asked me a few days ago if I wanted to go home and I said no. I knew it was not easy becoming a driver but didn't know quite this much about my center until recently by constantly asking other drivers questions. Sorry for the long off topic rant. And, thanks for the advice. Sorting and eating is probably a good idea now until I get comfortable enough or make my 30 days to actually stop and eat. Sent using BrownCafe App [/QUOTE]
