Any intelligent person uses the guidance of people who specializes in certain fields. I use a tax man to help with my tax matters. A stock guy to advise me on my portfolio. Like I said, intelligent people use others expertise. Guess that's why you don't believe that to be true.

Of course I believe it to be true. The fact that you act like you've hit the lottery is just laughable.

Sounds like your dad needs a new advisor.

Why would he need your advisor? Your advisor has you working 10 hours a week for around $300, give or take. His advisor has him in a situation where the only benefit he'd get from working your hours for your pay would be to stave off boredom.

Netting about $85 an hour while listening to Stern 10 hrs a week sounds even better. Ask your tax advisor if you had the opportunity I had, should you take it and see what he says.

I honestly probably would take your deal if offered it near retirement age. Not now of course, I'm 26 and just coming up on my 5 year anniversary...

 

[dex 84]

Our couriers hrs will vary 4 or 5 hours each week. Mine vary 1 or 2 a week. When you only average 10 a week, not much variance

I can have as much as a 25 hour swing. All depends on my schedule, I could be working as few as 7 hours a day or as many as 12.

 

[dex 84]

My 5 hour swing is in a month. We still have couriers that hrs will vary 5 hrs a week. Don't care if you believe it or not. In all my years on road I never had a time where my hrs were within an hr each and every week. Like I said, you must work at a dead station.

Some routes you can pretty much count on getting almost exactly the same amount of hours every time you do them...

In all my years, I have NEVER gotten off within 15 minutes of the same time every day long term. Maybe every now and then. Our p2 with vary from 60 one day to 80 the next. No way that difference won't add time to your day. Anybody that hrs don't vary more than an hr a week has a dead rt with little or no afternoon activity. Traffic alone can add 10 to 15 minutes to your onroad hrs.

Here's the situation. Start time is pretty constant. Pickups are at the same time every night unless there's an early pull. So you either have enough p2 to keep you out just until the pickups start or you're taking work from a neighboring route to fill the gap.

 

[dex 84]

Or you still have deliveries left when you're doing your pickups, in which case you will be done a little later...

Well, since it never happened to you the it surely must never happen to anyone else.

I haven't worked PM in years but I remember helping load cans some nights and going home early other nights. Operations where that fella lives must be so small that extra freight just doesn't happen. Any operation is subject to spikes in freight and if your hours only vary by 1 hr a week tells me you are in a very small market with little or nothing going on.

We're far from the ramp. We have no AM and PM. The same guy doing the deliveries stays out and gets the pickups.

Our volume does vary. We run more routes to account for that.

Yep. Despite working in station operations for 5 decades, I have no knowledge of how the operations work. You outed me.

Lol so working at the same station for 50 years means you know what goes on at every station and that every station, including ones in a totally different country, run like the one you're at?

Utterly brilliant!

You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately you can't do math if you believe anyone has worked at any station for 50 years. LOL

Working in 5 decades means 70's thru this year. Get a 5 the grader to explain it to you. Next year will be 6 decades.

 

[TNT Frosty]

we are truck drivers.... no need maths... them for witches, and demons alike... lets just all agree... we arnt paid as much as we should be, nor at the same rate cost of living increases.

No... A decade is 10 years. 5 decades is 50 years. You don't get credit for 5 years, or 2 years, etc.

So basically you were just caught in another lie.

Another person with no math skills
Or English either. Get a 5th grader to ecplain what working in 5 decades means.

Hate to tell you Earl, but the problem is in YOUR English. First post said you worked “in station operations FOR 5 decades”. That means you worked there 50 years. Now if you had said you worked in station operations IN 5 decades your math would have worked out. It’s all in the details. Both sentences have two different meanings.

He’s just not smart enough to type the sentence correctly. Lol.

But at least I am not all alone. Bummer
