[DumbTruckDriver]

8:30 for us tomorrow. Being told that pickups will be exceedingly heavy.

We start at 8:15 on Monday year round, 8:50 the rest of the week. If peak is like last year, Wednesday will be the predicted peak day, but we will have more on Thursday and Friday.

The beauty part is starting Wednesday, I'll deliver my NDA on trace. Not that I have had that much this year, but I do hate breaking trace for it.

I've stolen your FFS...you really should've copyrighted that.

Relaxed commit doesn't start til Thursday.

 

[By The Book]

8:45 start Monday, 9:40 the rest of the week.

Some contracts have language that says your start times are from 8:00 to 9:00 am. If they are starting you later than what your contract/supplement says they can start you they should pay you from those times. I know it's peak and all that I'm just providing info on this language.

They had us start at 9:30 Tuesday of last week! Felt like they gave up on us getting air out on time.

How do you get the pick ups in? Crazy, yet I bet guys are skipping lunch or taking lunch at the end of the day because of it. Foolish.

 

[Bagels]

In the past, drivers started at least an hour early on Monday during peak but this year management does not want to start Preload earlier than 12:15AM (because if we clock in before Midnight, it's considered a sixth day punch?) -- which has been Preload's "normal" start time -- thus drivers have the same start time, but are told that they're welcome to pull as soon as their truck is wrapped. Guys who show up at their start get frowned upon, of course...

 

[Cementups]

UPS will always try and get later start times out of us so that they can try and give customers later pickups.

I think the later start times lately are because of peak.... It will all go back to normal soon.

Relaxed commit doesn't start til Thursday.

Kinda depends on your center manager. For my last 7 or 8 peaks, I delivered all my air in trace after Thanksgiving.

Relaxed commit doesn't start til Thursday.

Our commitment to our customers have been relaxed for several years now.

For us it was 8:45 but just changed to 9 few days ago!
Might be on the road by 9:30-9:40....oh well!

 

[toonertoo]

Section 4

"A full-time seniority employee’s uniform starting time must be scheduled and posted by the end of the shift of their last scheduled work day of the preceding workweek for the following workweek. In areas where the Union and the Employer agree, the start time shall be uniform except where the Employer is able to schedule an earlier start time for the package driver employees on Mondays or days after holidays, when merchandise is available for dispatch."

Told 8 am at PCM, no start times posted Friday night, only the week old start times are posted. Management is in for a surprise when the 5 guys who weren't at the PCM come in at 9 thinking the old start times that are posted are the current ones.
