AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
It’s weird blowing by entire areas on my route because the pvds have all that work
How bad

They were stacking when I left. I can't push anything over 9 hours, my knee is getting worse.

What about us trigger happy hillbillies? Lol.

Deplorable.
This is my first peak season that I'm scrounging for overtime lol. All 4 days this week I've picked up the neighboring route's UPS store just so I could hit the 8 hours on road.
No way it continues but I'll gladly take an easy week to start peak.

You're looking at it the wrong way. Don't have the kid in the first place and the only issue you will have is deciding on buying that new boat or another sports car.

Its definitely not light here... my route is chopped down a lot even from what it was during the heaviest covid surge we had late spring into early summer. Many pvds out there... i think they had a goal of atleast 2 per driver. I have no meets... no helper... and most importantly... no hassles.

Haven’t had overtime in months. Including during peak so far this year. PVDs are stealing all of our overtime and work. Thanks union! Another thing to write down on my union uselessness list.
PVD's are paid 17$/hr here at least. I'd
die knowing they get paid 38$ an hour to steal my overtime.
You can thank Canada for voting Hoffa back in...

They can pay the next day air rate if they want.

10 stops an hour should fix this problem

It’s clear that the Teamsters underestimated the use of PVD’s by UPS. Should have specific language covering their use like there is with 22.4’s.
In San Jose they are paid $38.74 an hour plus 54¢ a mile plus $5 a day for using their phone. On average these guys are making $45 an hour. All the while guys are begging for work.
Regardless of rather or not guys should live within their means or that guys deserve this for bitching about 9.5 all year, it really isn’t right nor should the union of ever let this happen with so little oversight.

I’m right at 50 hours for the week so far with tomorrow to go. No helper, no PVDs. They only send the PVDs to the guys with helpers since drivers with helpers are required to be in by 9.5
if your using a helper and want more hours tell them you don’t want a helper due to covid.
a large chunk of my center is barely getting 8 hours daily. It’s the army of seasonals and PVDS fault.
we are back to normal start times next week with airs on time. Should be interesting.

8 hrs are guaranteed paid worked or not, I'm happy to be home by 6 this time of year.
Come January 15th there will be more than enough overtime for all who want it.

And they’re probably getting off 10 stops an hour before they got to go back and refill their Subaru

I've never seen so many PVDs in my life. I was getting gas at a Wawa and saw a guy sitting in a Chevy Tahoe filled with packages from my center. Never seen him before and probably won't after January 15th.
We have entire rentals going out filled with PVD volume. It's almost as if we have a sub-center that's processing, loading and shipping out PVD volume to various counties. If you didn't visit that part of the building you'd never know they were there.

And they want more PVDs! Now they are recruiting hub employees. Thought we had enough. But pretty soon we'll have more PVDs than actual drivers.

We need language dealing with seasonals! Pvds should never have been allowed by the union, but the least they could do is limit the impact of them.
