[wide load]

[KOG72]

You working 8 day weeks?

That’s what they called it but we are on this schedule through out December

 

[3 done 3 to go]

Today is an 8 am start. Worked this past Saturday with 15 drivers. Got 7 hrs. Clean for today's start. We aren't in the 70 hrs yet

 

[badpal]

Its all about the weather here ,as long as it holds and everybody stays healthy, we should muddle thru. But I live in a part of the country where population dropping.

Does your state have any specific blue laws that you can refuse work on a Sunday? Here in Rhode Island we can refuse work on Sunday so they are confined to the 60 hours in seven days rule.

Why would that affect the 70/8? For most cases, you don't work 7 days anyhow. Sunday would be your reset.

I only worked around 45 hours last week in 5 days. 70? LOL! Won't happen here.

 

[Wally]

We are short on helpers. The company set the wage so low, folks are sayng, no thanks.

 

[Ghost in the Darkness]

No Saturdays & no 70 hr workweek here. Only way i get more than 9hrs is to help someone. They did roll 2 trailers though. Its nice getting the royal treatment finally

 

[Ghost in the Darkness]

I guess I should say treated like a human being... but any time that you aren't getting pooped on is royal treatment.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

Due to working Saturday. Only 125 stops today. Started at 8am. Finished at 5pm. But, tomorrow we are expected to have a record of 13,500. Most ever in our center. With 3 weeks to go.

Good luck. Some people on here would laugh at only 13,500 pieces But if your center is the same size as mine, which it probably is based on that number, then it's gonna be a long day tomorrow. I think our center has only broke 13k one time and that was last year.

 

[Staydryitsraining]

We ran 50k saturday , only delivered 25k as it was an optional work day and today we ran close to 90.

 

[Dr.Brownz]

8 hour day for me and half the drivers were already in when I clocked out. Dispatch seems to have suddenly learned how to be effective in the last two weeks.

Fire Engulfs UPS Vehicles, Loading Dock in Frederick

Looks like some drivers are going to have an easy day.

Looks like it was a MDU, which is a "portable" structure that they align with a conveyor belt and allows up to 6 pkg cars per side (total of 12) to be loaded.

Ours has a portable heater to make sure the loaders don't freeze-----have to wonder if this could have been the cause of the fire.

Couldn't be better, no way to improve!
Management has done an awesome job!

They alllllllll deserve huge raises!

 

[Indecisi0n]

UPS has extended the 24 hour day in our local. A day now consist of 27 hours and the union let them do it.
