[QUOTE="JoesUPSacct, post: 4615006, member: 82124"] as a new 22.4 who's only been on the seniority list now for 2 months, as well as a new never before union member, this thread has been both entertaining and enlightening. where i work, there are drivers on the verge of retirement who show up an hour early to put their shelves together. off the clock. while i was qualifying i was right there next to them an hour early getting my shelves straight. i've read quite a few posts on here and see the point about not working off the clock and i'm doing my best to wean myself off of it. when i got my first route after qualifying it was a real beyotch. i read posts on here and swore to stick to the methods and not let mgmt push me to run because of what someone else did on the route prior to me. the first two weeks on the route they were sending 1 and sometimes 2 trucks to help me out because my truck was getting over 350 packages a day and they regularly could not load my truck before i left (bulk stops include fabric shops, carpet stores, auto parts/tires, veterinarians and marinas and of course two separate huge apt complexes that just get dumped on the floor). after 2 weeks of consistent over allowed and a talk with the manager about "getting my over allowed down" where i told him to follow my stops, i'm working as fast as i safely can while using the methods, my dispatch started getting cut down from 200/day to 180 and then the last couple of days last week were 160/165 but still with 300 packages (brake rotors, boat anchors, rolls of carpet and fabric etc). anyway, from what i can see it appears as though we don't have a particularly strong union presence locally if the guys that have been there 20+ years are fixing their shelves for an hour off the clock. not much i can do about that but i'll do my best tomorrow to show up with just enough time to clock in and see what happens.
