[QUOTE="Brown_Cow, post: 2833128, member: 67138"] Suck it up buttercup. This is what he signed up for. He should be grateful they even decided to use him after peak. Most people wait 5+ years on the inside before they get a chance to go full time. He needs to stop and set up his shelves as he works. If he's spending more then 30 seconds finding a package at multiple stops. Take 25 minutes and organize your packages in order. Then go you'll make up the time lost organizing and then some. Job comes with overtime. Most drivers work 10+ hours a day. And benefits after 90 days of making book as a driver? Be happy over that. Takes 6 months here for full timers to get theirs. A full year for it to cover their families too. If he is still having problems he needs to find out which driver usually runs this route and ask for advice and tips. And if that driver says the route can't be scratched he should try talking to shop steward. Document everything and good luck. Hate to burst your bubble though. He's probably just being used for now as a fill in. Unless he really impresses them with production I wouldn't hold my breath. Took a buddy of mine from June all the way through the peak black out and into may to finally get his blessing and make book. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
