Off peak helpers

[Poop Head]

Anyone else using helpers right now? We have used them twice this week and possibly tomorrow (Friday). The helpers are being told several things as far as pay rate etc.

One helper told me they told him he would get 80% of new driver rate.
Another helper told me they said she would get $21.
Two other helpers told me that they would get 80% of full rate.

I feel bad for them and would like to actually give them an answer since our steward is on vacation. At one point, I knew that if the on car had to use a bargaining member to run a route, they (helper) would have to be paid full driver rate. I thought the same was true if a helper was used outside of peak. Has this changed at some point?

Central Supplement does not specify. Anyone know?

What do you guys need helpers for anyways? Pumping gas and holding the pee bottle?

Carrying all the 70+lb Irregs I’m betting hehe hence why I politely decline being a jumper. Somehow toting 90lb tires and rims while some driver is telling me to hurry up doesn’t sound appealing in 100 degree weather. It’s loaded up- I’m going to bed lol

I did not sleep well. After we broke that mirror all I could think about was 7 years of bad luck.

I’m not sure a donkey can hold 2 people. Maybe they rented some mules for the week

Here in Texas, our driver helpers are from Preload and they are making the same as inside pay ($13.00/hr)
