[QUOTE="Mike23, post: 641644"] Things are smoothing out a little better. Almost all our drivers are still back around 1900 though but since it's beginning of peak I suppose that's expected. I talked to my union steward who talked to the center manager who said, 'he had 106 deliveries done yesterday'. My max is 105, not 106. On top of that it doesn't include the 5 my helper did without me around and the one my air driver did to help me out. I know that doesn't seem a lot for the Americans out there but it is an awful lot for our little center (we didn't get a bus route so I guess it's still a center and not a depot). Honestly, I have not seen moral this down since I started a year and a half ago (we had 150% turn over rate in the first three months then). No one likes the new routes or the new building. The numbers don't work because I'm pretty sure they planned the numbers around what we were doing before when 90% of our drivers were 'code 5' (meaning they work nonstop and get paid through their break) and still worked 11 hour days. As much as I give our onroad sups a hard time I do feel sorry for them since they're working around 14 hour days. I'm pretty sure all the sups who flew in have flown out and abandoned this sinking wreckage. Our center manager has even been 'transferred' out to Saskatchewan. So, now we have 3 on road sups for around 250 drivers on road and a brand new center manager. Bring on Christmas so I can watch our glory land fall like a house of cards. [/QUOTE]
