PVD question

[Wally]

What about insurance?

I would think UPS is responsible since the driver is under their employ.

I wouldn't want to be in a serious accident and find out.

Nope.
Just like when delivering pizzas.
You aren't covered and you car insurance also won't cover you unless you have commercial vehicle insurance

You are some PT sup with delusions of grandeur

He’s been promoted to “customer”

I'm just wondering why they're hiring PVD's in the summer

This... is the op in a RTW state that the local teamsters are allowing PVDs working this time of year?

What does living in a RTW state have anything to do with PVDs.

Unacceptable post.

But sadly true.

For once you say something smart. Very flabbergasting.

Boy bye its Friday. And all my drivers are almost done with their airs.

Does it work that way for pizza delivery?

UPS can't be off the hook for possible damages. Vicarious liability unless these drivers are independent contractors. Even then, there is potential liability.

Weaker union representation was my guess... otherwise teamsters should've squash that term a long time ago

I worked as a pvd last peak season and I had a eight hour pay guarantee. I’ve started working again as a pvd this summer and on the time card it shows the pay code is “pay actual”. Should I be getting the eight hour guarantee?

Enjoy your straight time and shove it
Most of us paid are dues working in the building
If you were sent to get stops off of me you would gets 2 really crappy ones

You will not receive your 8 hour guarantee pay. That's a benefit for full time drivers in the union.

Not scabs delivering out of their Prius.

 

[KoennenTiger]

Wait just a second here? There's some classification of scabs that run our packages out of their own cars now? I've only seen center mngrs doing that

Oh my sweet spaghetti monster overlord I would such a guy over as hard as I can. I mean I'm nice to the air guys, but they are teamsters. Some scab coming to take my work?!! I can't even imagine this.

I guess I'd just tell them to meet me at the opposite corner of my route and then say whoops come meet me over here. No now over here whoops
