Isn't that right next to the FEMA camp?

I was trying to think of a FEMA camp joke because thats exactly what those photos reminded me of. Touché

If they haven't called you to turn in your uniforms, I would just drive in everyday and ask if there is work and wait around until you are offered something to do or are sent home.

They haven’t asked me to turn in anything yet. I did that twice last week and all I did was waste gas and time...but I guess I’ll just rinse and repeat until January 15th and then blow my brains out

All the seasonals (seasonal drivers and PVDs) at my area have been cut since Thursday. Even a few non-seasonal routes were cut too. It's crazy to go from 12+ hr days earlier this week to nothing.

I'm not expecting to be needed again barring like a random new years spike even though it's technically "until Jan 15".
I wanna be able to commit hours back to my previous full-time job, but it's just annoying not knowing for sure.

Those new Amazon vans are a sign of what’s to come. I for one have put in my two weeks here to start working for Amazon. Adios, chumps!

Full time job, or sit at home waiting on a phone call that will probably never come. That's a tough one.

They run this crap show all year.

And yet they staff up, no open slots.

As funny as I was trying to be... I'm a little concerned.

The one day you don't go might be the day you miss out on easy work.

Hey guys, I know most of you hate our guts as pvds but I’m trying to figure out if I can expect to be called back in to work before the seasonal contract ends January 15th. Had multiple 50 hour+ weeks since starting in December and HR told me the job runs until the middle of January. I wasn’t told that I was done but my someone at my center said they disposed of all the seasonal driver helpers when i went in on Friday. Are we on call now or should I call my boss in the coal mine and tell him I’ll be coming back in next week?

I really wanted to hate PVD's, taking away my precious overtime, but our center pulled off this brilliant political move of hiring former retired drivers that some of us knew to be PVD's. I wanted to call them scabs but at the same time I had some respect for some of the older former drivers. I still managed to do 68+ hours/week so I guess no harm done this peak to my bottom line.

Anyways, volume will probably get a lot lighter so time for you guys to leave.

UPS will exploit any opportunity to undermine their employees.

PVD's don't seem to be able to do enough stops to be effective. Give the drivers a loaded truck.

Not very reliable. Several times last year and this year I ended up running a PVD route because someone had to have a day off or two. Okay with me.

Come rip stops off me.

I had to help another 22.4 with deliveries and pick ups last Thursday.

I busted my ass and was getting done 150 stops a day out of my 10th gen civic sedan

Go back to the other job. Trust me.

Adios and congrats!

Hey man, just don't S* in my driveway like that one Amazon chick did. I got a neighbor who lets his dog do that and now it gets launched back to his house with one of those beach slingshots.
