[QUOTE="westsideworma, post: 141699"] wow they don't let you guys stick around long huh? I preload and always get at least 4.5 hrs, often 5 or over. I take home anywhere from 215-235+ (depending on the amount of OT) from that alone normally. I agree about the rate increase. I know people sasy its only part time and I agree, it is, but we work our asses off and get paid less than some burger flippers. I know they don't get bennies, but still. I think they should start us at what FedEx offers (I believe is or was $11-11.50 per hour). Our turnover rate is ridiculous...here today gone today is often the case. Most of the reason I get OT is that I get to stay late everyday for the air (due to seniority) and what really amuses me is when the drivers bitch (and rightly so) that their airs aren't loaded (we're on PAS). They run the lines on a skeleton crew at the end of the day with each person covering at least 9 trucks (I cover 11) to do the airs. Sorry but I don't have time to try and navigate the crawlspace down the middle of 11 trucks to put the air in the 1000 section. If I did I certainly would. Who decided it should go there anyways? I used to load the air in what would be the very rear of the 8000 section before PAS. My drivers liked it much better, but hey maybe a lot of them in general do not. [/QUOTE]
