[QUOTE="Gasyourtrucks, post: 5658197, member: 106890"] Thank you, this makes sense now, as I continued driving after peak. To answer another question I saw, seasonal drivers are always referred to as casuals here. No idea why. Honestly I get the feeling neither management nor the union reps here know wtf is up most of the time in my building. Like everyone is a chicken with their head cut off running around. Other examples of weird stuff from that time include being told I was working on my 30 days in december, then being told that wasn’t true due to the free period I later learned of. Or how I was told that to get hired on permanently you had to “make book”, which they said was coming in without being over allowed 5 days in a row. However I was never told I did this and it was never mentioned after I became permanent. Also, since people keep mentioning it here, wtf is a cover driver? Is it literally just someone who covers routes for others? Didn’t know that was a seperate job, they mostly just have us 22.4 guys cover routes in my building. My building is a bit of a :censored:show though. We have a revolving door of supervisors, the center manager just walked out and didn’t come back, a supe got busted drinking in the office, and we don’t even have security on the way out like other buildings [/QUOTE]
