[QUOTE="Magnus, post: 791283, member: 22193"] The absolute WORST thing you could do this late in the game is try to play "phone tag". You need to PHYSICALLY go down to the Center and speak with the Helper Coordinator. They may not like that, but you need to do what you need to do. Peak is almost over, we've got tomorrow and until the next Friday (some lucky Helpers will get until Dec. 30th if they have busted their asses and have high praise from their Drivers). Just do it. You can't be ignored if you're standing right in front of them. Management, even the good guys and gals, resort to some primitive crap to avoid dealing with us sometimes... especially HR. Don't hold it against them... I'd probably resort to the same in their shoes, with all the crap they have to put up with from all sides, all day and night long. But I digress. I had to do this my second Peak as the Helper Coordinator (great guy) got sickly and just forgot all about pairing me up with somebody amidst that and all the chaos going on the first week of Peak. We were shooting for me being back on with the guy I ran with (am running with this current Peal) and so it jammed the works up a bit. It happens, but because I physically showed up (after also not being able to get a hold of anyone by phone first), what ended up happening was a string of profuse apologies and the guy making a prompt phone call. He tossed me my DIAD III, told me to meet x-Driver at x-location in 30 minutes and that was that. I worked every day after, got the heaviest route he had on the books and I was even kept AFTER Christmas until the 30th. Banked just over 1K that Peak with a fair bit of OT pay. Good luck and I hope you decide to show up there, in person, tomorrow. Let us know what happens! [/QUOTE]
