Everyone on 9.5 doesn't seem great for high senority drivers?

[JustDeliverIt]

So more routes in even though no 22.4’s yet?

We've had the 8.2 plan going for 3 or 4 weeks now, it's been nice. And they have been putting in the routes here as well without the 22.4's. I've ran 2 Mondays in the past month where they dispatched me under 8 and just paid my guarantee so that other routes were run lighter. And a few other ones have had the same thing happening on Fridays.
Do I honestly expect it to last after peak, no. If it does, I will be thrilled. I enjoy being home before the kids are in bed and even getting to have a warm, home cooked dinner a few nights a week is great. Just not counting on it.

The physical restraints of the building, can have an effect.

That’s the same excuse the boss uses

We are suppose to have all under 9.5 in our building but it's not happening. Building is too small to accommodate all those extra trucks.

8.2 hour planned day is not happening everywhere. PT air drivers average more then that at my building.

Same here as well. Our air drivers are getting 12 hours a day.

It took my old ass less than a minute to vote. It's quite embarrassing at the low turnout

I bet union hall has a phone number. They could have text it to u emailed and other ways 5 years inbetween contracts you had time to figure out how vote.

how small of a bldg

 

[Elmo.goes.to.prom]

how small of a bldg

3 belts. Max of 24 trucks on each belt.
A small 6 truck belt.
3 doghouses accomodating 10 trucks each.
Plus a hog being loaded out a side pedestrian door and 2 trucks being loaded by the clerk down the center of building.

So basically we’re making them more money with providing far better service.

How can we be making them more money with 20% more trucks to buy, morw fuel used, 20% more drivers with H&W and pension to pay?

We make them more money with 60 drivers at 10 hours per day than 75 drivers at 8 hours per day.

Probably saving a small fortune on service failure refunds and 9.5 grievances.

Costs aren’t as high as everyone thinks. Not to mention it’s just as much about retention as it is anything else. Turnover costs big $$$$

Still won't make up for the bennies and equipment costs for those extra drivers.

I don't even think the new lower paid 22.4 drivers would make a difference.

But you are paying more people a lot more dead time. PCM, driving to and from the route, paid breaks,turn in at the end of the day.
Not to mention the extra fuel .

Then add on the benefits package.

Don't know what to tell you. But I can guarantee you somebody crunched the numbers.

We’re paying those benefits whether that same driver sits at home or works, this way we’re at least getting something out of it.

And you’re absolutely right we’re Paying them to do the work, but we’re coming out even when you look at cost per piece. And in my district cost per piece is flat from when we were shoving it down everyone’s throats to now.

I've never understood all of the dead day they give out. OMG IVE might have a 7.9 day so let's cut a route and give him a 11 hour day.
And pay someone in benefits $200 to stay home.
