11 Hour days, WHY?

[capt. kirk]

Well getting ready for work, did 11.5 hours yesterday, with a helper, but they sent a dozen drivers home. WHY?

I understand when its all hands on deck, when package numbers blow up by 80%, but when we dont even have enough work for all the drivers why the hell are we sending guys home and using helpers that do not help as we dont have enought stops in any giving area for them to help us.

Oh well, maybe they will cut my route today and give the guy next to me an 11 hour day lol.

Happy Thanksgiving all.

It's peak the rest of the year when they do it it's just logistics.

Because they don't pay bennies on anything over 8.

Those drivers going home need to demand their 8 and work as helpers. Dont they know easy money when they see it. 10 hours yesterday for me. 56 total last week, cha ching!

[over9five]

Because they don't pay bennies on anything over 8.

Bingo!

[SpoolEmUp]

11 hours? Sounds like a normal day to me.

As Capt. Kirk would say; Beam me up Scotty!

It's peak the rest of the year when they do it it's just logistics.

Really?! I didn't think they had started the logistics method yet.

[hellfire]

[gostillerz]

I'm bottom seniority reg/temp, and outside seasonals are driving while they beg me to be a helper monkey for 3 hours a day.
