[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 5108262, member: 79761"] Just under two years in and I've not once been accused of or questioned about stealing time, and maannnnnnn let me tell you, some days have been complete disasters where I was 2-3hrs over. Not an RPCD, though. I have a feeling everything's gonna change when I'm finally able to win a route and change classification. I know this isn't really where the discussion was headed, but I just want to say: PVDs are wonderful for the reasons you described. Despite feeling that way, however, you all are taking union work away from dues-paying Teamsters. If a driver wants non-union help, I'm all for allowing them to use it. If a driver [B]doesn't[/B], on the other hand (and there are plenty that don't), they should be allowed to refuse the help. Honestly-- and although I'm personally okay with it-- seasonal employees should never even consider being used until every Teamster on the payroll is given an 8hr day minimum. They should be an insurance policy in case the plan fails and not a cheaper alternative to permanent employees. With that in mind, all that's left to say is something I've repeated several times on this forum and to my management team: if given the choice between the two, I'd much rather have a PVD tethered to my route than a helper in the jump seat for even a portion of the day.
