[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1103120, member: 33696"] yea, i do get that your managers are a bunch of incompetent people who can't plan with others to help give you guys and gals a decent dispatch (from reading other threads like the "what a cluster friend" thread) i forgot you don't have a union to back you up when you try to "work as directed" so taking pix of those scanner messages to double back to the apple recipient and make a 2nd attempt on the same day will be moot point in getting a possible hanging the next day... & they can't implement the DRA or ROADs properly because it won't work with your P1, P2, etc deadlines. they better realize that you guys can't "straight line" like HD division does because our time deadlines are at 2000 most of the time (with a few exceptions of appointment & evening deliveries). at least you, MrFx, and other frontliners know how to stay UTR just barely enough to try to get to retirement & hopefully you will make it ----------------------------------------------- as for me, the economy still sucks but the pay is still better than flipping burgers or working at walmart. Some contractors are now going to give a paid week vacation after a year's service (if they decide to stay that long). ISP isn't coming to this state anytime soon (i guess the lawyers here are too lazy to fight the purple company ~ they've been waiting for almost a decade with nothing to show) i've only known a handful who "settled" w/ a gag order & moved on... I'm still above min wage pay for the hours on the road & others who doesn't have an efficient method will drop down to ~$8 per hour if they're slow. At least i've opened some eyes around my local area about how a temp agency can pay us by the hour +OT after 40 hours worked + had a safety bonus at the end of the peak season for not having an accident... vs the typical contractor salary pay w/ no OT or other bennies [/QUOTE]
