Covid-19 & 9.5

[Rack em]

I’ve been getting a lot of “thank you” from random people and customers. It’s weird. It feels very veteran-like. It definitely beats being treated as the “help”, pre-covid19.

Once this is all over you will go back to being under appreciated and so will the truck drivers, fast food workers, grocery store workers, etc.

I’ll probly end up being envious of. When this all said and done, it’s not like all these lost jobs will magically be back.

Gonna feel like 2008-2010 again tiptoeing up to houses to deliver those foreclosure letters. The Feels.

I’m about to buy another house for 50% less than what they’re going for currently. “Never let a crisis go to waste”. Who said that? Oh yeah, every politician ever.

You're right. How about you call this guys family up and tell them to stop crying. I mean their loved one was getting almost $40 to drive a truck. They have no reason to be upset about working more hours and taking more chances of catching covid19 for what you always like to call our customers. "QVC hoarders".

My building has seen drops in volume. Wait till the layoffs start people

File to help reduce layoffs

 

[Over70irregs]

Not the point.

You guys will be making upward of $40/hr at the end of the current contract and you are bitching about having to work a little bit of OT. Your bills will be paid on time and you won't be up at night wondering how you were going to feed your kids or keep the lights on.

Here is what I believe, I think all the old timers should work as many hours as possible while this is going on. Even volunteer on Saturday. So maybe all the runners/ lunch skippers start to realize exactly what they are doing when they run and skip lunch.

Too bad it won't affect amazon one bit. They will fight a wrongful termination lawsuit until the lawyer fees get to be too much for the worker. Or they will make a side deal with the guy paying him off which won't mean anything to amazon who has billions, and the workers will see the guy still "fired" putting fear in them not to walk in his foot steps and try and stand up for themselves :/

That can’t be. $100 means a lot to amazon.

Got it in a text message from Teamsters & the drivers' steward (our PT never filed the supervisors working grievances)

I heard all drivers are 9.5 unless we opt out is that correct? I've been filling in for a satellite driver that normally goes out with 70-80 stops way out in the country. I'm getting 100+ routinely. It's kind of okay when I leave from the building but it is still 2 hours of driving to/from the area then averages out around 10 stops per hour on route. If I have to head out there and wait for the trailer and load the car I'm so ed. Had a day last week I got back home after midnight.

 

[El Correcto]

He's absolutely fantastic. He defends everything about our building. He used to be a driver not even a decade ago, so he knows what the drivers go through. He doesn't give a flip about telematics, except for seatbelt infractions and recording in travel. The rest of it doesn't matter at all. He doesn't care if you're doing 25 stops an hour or 12 an hour as long as you're doing it safely and everything gets delivered.

He also harps a lot on the preload because they're incompetent.

Sounds like he is earning a demotion soon.

We’re guaranteed 8 right? I’ll toothbrush the pipes if I have to...

Sounds like he is earning a demotion soon.

He was demoted a few years ago, then promoted back to his original position because he's the right guy for our building. Most of the guys respect him. There's a few who don't like anyone whatsoever and could care less who is in charge.

$100 in tips this week from customers

If you have not yet filed your 2019 Federal taxes make sure to report that income on Line 8 of Schedule 1. You would then transfer the amount from Line 9 of Schedule 1 to Line 7a of the 1040.

….make sure to report that income on Line 8 of Schedule 1.

Did you report your income from recycling aluminum cams?
