Coming to a center near you

[Operational needs]

Get the wife pregnant and the girlfriend pregnant a month apart.
That way you get 2 straight months of paternity leave!

If you live that long.

2 months of paternity leave in exchange for 18 years of child support for 2 kids not to mention whatever the divorce will cost. Sounds like a sweet deal to me.

It's peak now. Heaviest summer I've ever seen

Had another driver ask me this morning. So I guess the whole no 9.5 thing is out the window huh.

Only if you are on the list is it a big deal.

Virtually my whole center is on the list. Back to not caring at all the first 2 days.

Probably about 75% here.

Maybe coerced would be a better word. We don't have any 22.4 jobs yet but the only difference between preload/AM air driver jobs is the pay rate. Most of the time these guys are working 10 to 14 hours a day delivering ground. Now the company is telling the PT air drivers they are all on call to deliver ground packages up to 14 hours a day.

So they consider anyone with a DOT a ground driver at their disposal pretty much?

This has been a problem at your center for YEARS now.

So no part timers want to drive?

Are they even putting driver jobs up for bid?

Are they trying to hire off the street?

Guess Q1 and Q2 cost too much. Now we’ve got to make up for those backpay checks.

It’s finally dried up and gotten hot here. That means everyone must be out 10 hours or more. Gotta make sure someone falls out and we can blame them for not being hydrated.

Hiring new drivers as fast as they can train them and when they DQ they are offered an air driver job until they can try again. We have been told that PT air drivers have no 8 hour request or 9.5 protection or even a lunch break. Fine with me, I will take those $2k/wk paycheck to ride around shagging misloads or running stops off of over dispatched package delivery drivers.
