80,000 Nationwide Truck Driver Shortage

[olroadbeech]

And about 100 container ships waiting off the California coast due to shortage of on dock workers
and truck drivers.

I'd go back to work but they would have to pay at least 4-5 grand a week.

Not just a driver shortage but also a truck shortage. Not every truck is California certified.. Especially older models.

My clipboard wasn't made of paper.

Those old clipboards would gradually wear away until they were about half the size as the delivery sheets. Then one of the rivets that held the clip to the board would give out and you would have to start breaking in a new one all over again.

And when they went flying out of the car or you closed the back door on them ,,, they still worked

UPS is already calling retired feeders to work peak.

Not that would be the definition of insanity.

Amazing liberal policies at work.

If a retired person comes back to work during peak, they should get time and a half for all hours worked.

It would have to be way more than time and a half to entice me back. My WCT PEER 80 retirement would suspend pension payments if I work in any suspendible work category. Working at UPS is pretty much at the top of the suspendible work list. So, in effect, I'd be working for the difference between the pension and time and a half, which would be roughly NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH!

The union worked a deal here retirees can come back for peak and lose nothing

They don't do that here. I'm really surprised they don't.

I also heard another idea it was floating around but I doubt it Will gain any traction.

They was talking about letting retired people on social security go back to work that these jobs that can't be filled and not let that money count against their social security
