Don't run and gun they said...

[Dr.Brownz]

We had a DM who, when on a safety ride, would position himself just outside of the passenger door, "forcing" the driver to get in to the habit of crossing behind the pkg car.

I'm sure that guy is a riot at parties. Bet he leads a very fulfilling life too.

There is more to life than money.

There's more to life than constantly posting on an internet message board, or is there for you?

Nice, took 4 weeks of vacation already, put me behind a little. If you max your 401k, watch out at the end of the year, you might get restricted on how much they’ll let you contribute.

It's not often we're allowed to go over 60 hours here...looks like a peak paycheck. If you hit your max contribution to your 401k in a year, then you are definitely doing it right. We have a driver who maxes out his 401k by March each year.

I missed the part where I said that.

What I did say is that it has been my personal experience that any time I worked more than 8 hours of OT in a week I lost money on the deal.

That was backed up by the article that I posted.

Can you leave? You're dumb and never contribute anything

BS. The maximum contribution limit for 2020 is $19,500 with an additional $6,500 "catch up" limit for those 50 or over so I call BS on your claim that you have a driver who "maxes out his 401k by March".

Ahhhh to be young and dumb.

And full of...rhymes with dumb, starts with a c, ends with an m.

That's what he says. He pretty much lives without a paycheck for 3 months. He's only mid 40s and his wife makes more than he does.

Call it what you will.
When I work past 9.5 hours I am compensated at $114 an hour total ($38x3) after my grievance.
I call that triple time.

Ok...Good... Encourage the meek and bewildered to file for their “triple time”. I remember guys working holidays and calling it “double-time” but you only got it for 8 hours... (Gosh we get PAID!!!)

I didn't call the penalty triple time...
Only that I was compensated at triple time.... total.

And by the way you do get double time on holidays PLUS your holiday pay.

Penalty Triple Time PTT. Perfect moniker.

Yeah- the dude is full of it.

Not everywhere... (but you knew that, right?)

just sick of always qualifying with "your supplement may vary"

 

[I have been lurking]

Would you rather be loading a route with 180 stops? Or that same route with 250 stops?

he was a street rat. he never preloaded.

That is a decent SPORH too.
It wants you to do 1 stop every 2 minutes to scratch, and residentials these days order some of the most comically large things I've ever seen shipped. Just one address today got double queen mattress frames.

 

[eats packages]

he was a street rat. he never preloaded.

The only preloads that suck are the residential-only pens because it takes a disproportionately longer time to sort and load right than it is to deliver. Dispatcher sees good SPORH after the load position change and adds stops only to delay building leave time 15 minutes tomorrow, decreases stops some time later (can be months) and the vicious cycle continues.

Also see previous post about residentials ordering the craziest crap imaginable.

You tell him Skippy. He should get in there an hour early to straighten out the truck. And maybe assist with dispatch. Lol.

Slug.

Maybe this is a 6.67 hour day for a runner like you. Not me.

Don’t be mad that you spent your career running your balls off and have nothing to show for it.
