[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 986310, member: 33696"] back to Ike... what state is that? or region? I recently had a p700 with no parking brakes as well & have to turn the front wheels accordingly if there's a curb/ or not, uphill vs. downhill, etc... I looked at the rear brakes and they're discs, so I suggested the contractor to have a look at the pads to see if they're "thinning out" It's not that hard to slap on new brake pads... Ike is free to leave that contractor or re-negotiate his salary to include a stop-limit per salaried day. any stops added to that stop-ceiling will be a bonus per-stop/per-package pay. I'm done running / gunning while i see other's breaking down with bad backs/ knees around me while they push 20-25 stops per hour. So this would be my salary requirement if i'm not getting paid by the hour. we had a very mild winter the past peak & the hours were not that much at all; only a few days with OT hourly pay... I'm predicting a bad winter this year with the increase of volume coming from Express, there'll be more temp-agency hourly employees at Home Delivery/ Ground. The wacky thing is they stopped those one-week training courses on how to drive a package car safely. (I had trained a couple of them on the road the past peak with a dollar-per-hour bonus pay & didn't mind it at all). ---------------------------------------- PS: is ROADS or something similar is in the Ground division yet? i still see some of them fumbling with road maps... I know they have the capability, but I don't see them using it for the most part... [/QUOTE]
