Massive NE Snowstorm

Everyone should unify and all call in. What are they going to do to entire centers?

You guys will be sent out and then brought back in when the state declares a state of emergency right around lunch time. The company will respond by denying your 8 hour guarantee which you will have to grieve in order to get paid. You will then get hosed on Monday.

Screw that. We had blizzard conditions here in the midwest on Dec 23rd.

I know my roads better than they do sitting in an office. When the conditions got to the point that I felt it would be unsafe to continue, I sent a message that I was heading in.

They like to use the "professional driver" tag against us when they are trying to charge us with avoiding accidents, well then as a "professional driver" I decided to bring it in.

Good luck East Coast brothers and sisters, don't try to to heroes, there is always another day to get them delivered.

My favorite is when someone mentions our hourly wage as if because its good they buy our soul along with it. I tell them for $32 they're not paying me for what I can do but rather for knowing when not to do it.

In my little corner of the snow-belt, days like tomorrow are easy. They didn't invoke 'emergency conditions' today, so I'll show up at my regular time, go out and find a snowplow to follow for a while, and come back with a crap-load of EC's.

Monday is another day.

Should be fun!

It is....


...when you're on vacation

 

[iruhnman630]

.....till it's too late to safely get you back

It will all be worth it if each driver manages to get 10 more packages delivered in the 10 hours it takes to get back.

Why would this need to be grieved?

Why monday any day is a good day to be sick... Unless you are actually sick.

They better not shut down the mass pike or I'm going to be stuck in Springfield with no way to get back to Pittsfield.

It's unfortunate that they will even try to keep drivers on the road when the authorities are telling the general public to stay off them, but they will.

It ok is they want me to deliver 8 or 9 package an hour I be more than happy to do it.

That would make me feel so suicidal, I'd even hate my Rock n' Roll museum.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

I'm in RI. 24-34 inches. We were told regular workday on Friday. All routes are in. Apparently safety is of the utmost concern.......to me. I followed the contract and booked off at least one hour before my shift. Actually 10 hours before.

Ahh you're in RI. My 2nd hometown is delivered out of there.

That museum sucks too.

Packages before people. Should be awesome. Just like the floods a few years ago... 500 package cars sitting in traffic for 8 hours, going nowhere.

I have decided not to participate tomorrow night
