No more PVDs?

[542thruNthru]

In event of a strike they could just throw the PVDs in package cars.

You mean because they have a valid driver's license and can follow navigation?

Sounds like they can throw anyone in a package car then. PVD or not.

Exactly

They really could. There’s nothing really hard about this job.

 

[allahuakbar]

They’d have to have a DOT card

Quick trip to the doctor nbd.

There is a reason newbies get dumped on gravy splits of retail...they suck.

 

[Lineandinitial]

(Better and Bigger) sounds like a better deal.

Shouldn’t that be our goal?

Funny....I read this as closely aligned with "Build back better"........

Is it just me, @Netsua 3:16 / @quad decade guy the only ones that see this relationship???

Both of us.

I hope you are all aware that PVD drivers belong to the same union as package car drivers.
In the Seattle area they can’t find drivers for the package cars. No one wants to work that hard.
I am retired and I know I am too old to handle the rigorous work load of a package car driver, but I can deliver 100 packages a day professionally from my own car.
Why the hate? Who else is going to deliver these packages?

What union? They are temps.

 

[TerryLee]

Same union as full time drivers. No benefits except for retirement. Dues deducted from my check.

What kind of retirement do you get for 4 years of 6 weeks of PVDing?

A cup of coffee and a donut once a month

That is some type of non union membership fee.

I'm in the central and we were told today we are aiming for 30 pvd's. Work in a small center that sends out 40 something routes a day. Supposedly will go up to about 60 routes over peak. I'm hoping for no pvd's allowed just to see the meltdown.

So, you want to be forced to work 14 hours per day? You’re brilliant.

It's hard to believe we couldn't bomb these towel heads off the face of the planet.

Then they need to pay more
Pay enough and you can find somebody to do most any job

Break it up for some hubrats. 12 hours with OT starting at 5 will make some people do it

Pay too much and you won't make a profit. Might as well just close the doors. Business 101.
