How was your Friday after Thanksgiving?

[upschuck]

Funny thing about today is that people in the building think that since the calendar next black Friday is not marked as a holiday that we won't get holiday pay. They think the calendar trumps the contract. These are not newbies either.

And pick your magic elf helper at 10 am. They're the magic bullet to get more packages off at 40stops per hour and get in before 6

Ive,doesnt use a helper!

You get it off all by yourself?

Cyber Monday will be light? Doubtful.....especially with all the.trailers full of closed stops from today.

Cyber Monday is the day of cyber monday meaning that's the on line day for shopping for cyber Monday deals. The volume hits Wednesday.

I heard atleast 10 drivers,say the same thing.

We start 45 minutes early,on Monday. Thatg will save peak.

Does not matter how much earlier you start, Preload will not be wrapped up and air will be late.

Your lucky, its so mentally draining and they get in the way while using their cell phone texting constantly, no one is really interested in running to the door for a big 8.50 an hour with no chance for that office computer job after peak season.

Sitting in a truck stop finishing my meal. Traffic is light. Easy $$$$

 

[3HrsOverAllowed]

99 stops 9.58 hours at double time. I already had 9 hours of overtime for the week. I can't wait to get this check!

 

[Richard Harrow]

Made $266.08 today. Didn't even need to leave home. Big win for me.

 

[upsman68]

Easy day. Worked 9 hours. Pickups were light.

About 15 extra stops & only had to stop at 6 of my 28 pickups. Area didn't extend out as far as I thought it might. Our start time was 45 mins. later than normal. Tack on another half hour 'cause air was late, & a lot of us still got done at the normal time or a tad to a lot later. To answer Dave's question, yes, I'm sure it helped, but Monday & the next 4 weeks will blow. Most of January will blow too. The hour & a half relaxed air time was a nice touch.

Called In today......holiday pay....and received grievance check for 600 bucks for pay shortage+ penalty pay (via UPS)--THANK YOU Teamsters!!.....spent the day with family...GOOD Day!

 

[you aint even know it]

That explains the $.

Not impressive unless you hang around a bunch of bums. I know plenty of people who regularly make more than that for the day.

 

[Overpaid Union Thug]

Was on one of my favorite routes. It was an easy 8.5 hours. Would have been more if air commit times hadn't of been relaxed.

Do any of you feel that it was a smart business decision to work today?

Do any of you feel that what was delivered today will make any difference on Monday?

I brought back over 100 pieces but I got over half of what was onboard delivered. I initially thought it was a total waste of money but then they said we ran 51 cars today and are running 64 on Monday, so apparently we have a lot in the pipeline heading our way this weekend so it was probably a good idea to get off what we could today. We usually run about 44-46 cars on Mondays during the year.
