[JL 0513]

Put a weight room in the building for full timers.

So before or after lifting 400 packages, you hit the weights?

That would take me 2 days. You gotta' bid a country route my brother!

 

[JL 0513]

Yeah, I think 95% of us would like an earlier start time to get home earlier. It's really too bad the business wasn't set up to do so. It's a combination of pre-load not being able to get the volume in and wrapped by 8am and having late p/u's scheduled. 8-5 base hours would be sweet

When they were designing our new building there was talk of showers in the locker room. These did not make it in to the blueprints.

Many of the very old buildings have showers in the locker rooms. Those that do, are never used (at least virtually never used).

That's what they told us and they were probably right.

The building I work out of was built in early 70's and had showers. At some point they were taken out because they were not being used.

We could start earlier. But we would never get done earlier. Would just be an extra 5 hours OT a week. Personally, I really like not having to be to work till 9AM. One of the things I like most about the job.

And I thought you hated feeder drivers?

I know I would. I'm also aware that we're depending on loads from surrounding hubs that won't arrive till the middle(okay, the end) of the day for preload.

That volume arrives throughout the weekend and is the reason why we're wrapped around 8:00 on Mondays. I can usually set sail around 8:20. Tues-Fri is a different story.

Our building has a few showers in the driver locker rooms. I understand they get used but have only seen it a handful of times in my 20+ years.

Unfortunately never happen but you will see 9 to 9 norm in a couple years as the job switches from 40 hours to 60 hours. They have already made it pretty obvious that they don't care about guys working 50 to 55 hours a week and all the ot that goes with it and the 9.5 grievances they don't mind paying them either.
