I'm working on Monday the 2nd.
Yup, same deal for us as the 26th. Sunday is a regular day, so we'd have to work the Monday when Sunday's the actual holiday.

Are you getting triple pay?
Lol, I'm not working, not interested. They run it as a "one day lay-off", as we won't need everyone with most p/us closed. Then they post a sign-up list to get the amount of drivers they will need.
Anyone who works gets time and a half on top of the 8 hrs holiday pay.
I've heard in other parts of the country they'd get more to work a holiday. Give me that triple time, I'm in!

Our center manager wanted to force from the bottom only.

50.3 hours down, 9.7 to go. I hope they have a plan in place for someone to finish my route tomorrow. I feel like Cinderella...when the clock strikes about 6:45 tomorrow my package car will turn into a D.O.T. pumpkin and come to a screeching halt whether I am done or not. Maybe I could load one of the spare bike/trailer combos that our bike helpers use in the back before I leave in the morning, so that when I run out of DOT hours I can just load up the little trailer with my remaining packages and start pedaling. Then when I am finally done I can call a tow truck to bring me back to the building.

I had a Sun-Thur. Peak run. It's down now but I am off until Tue. Looking forward to relaxing and not driving the big truck for a few days. Hope all of you can get some rest too.

Any peak you survive is the best.
Actually, this was the best managed peak in the last 4 yrs for me.
My average for the past four weeks is 56hrs.
I wish the management trend would continue, but I suspect that I will go back to the add/cut 47 to 50 hour week, for the rest of the year.
So be it.

It is a given that I will work 59 to 60 hours during peak.
I dont have a problem with working 60 hours if I have been set up to succeed. I do have a problem with working 60 hours if I have been set up to fail.
I didnt have to roll any stops this peak, which is a first. I was rolling stops back in June and July when we were eliminating routes and being micromanaged by IE idiots in another time zone. They actually allowed the managers to manage this peak, and those managers came up with a plan that worked fairly well. Of course there were still problems and issues...there always will be...but for the most part the plan was solid and I hit the road every morning knowing that I could get done.

It would appear that none of you are dairy farmers.

Maybe not but I spend a lot of time shoveling spit around.
Been in and around dairy farms in my teens.
Not something I would want to do for a living.
