4,700 cities

The post office has had this ability for years, but it was used by law enforcement to see what a person was getting and from who.

Haha good one. That made me laugh. Just meant as far as planned days.

pick a major city---its going to have Sat del.

What constitutes a "major city"?

 

[iruhnman630]

All resi to begin with. At least in our center. Then they are hoping we get more volume. I wonder how long the days will be on Saturday.

8.5 hour days.

 

[iruhnman630]

The Tuesday-Satutday intent sheets went up in our building today. We were told they are non-binding, only being used to guage the number of drivers interested in voluntarily changing.

8.5 hour days.

Really? You have it? Most of our guys have been getting done around 4:30 with a 9:00 start.

 

[Peppermint Patty]

Wow 430 is not terrible especially if your a new driver.

 

[Jackburton]

Cutting routes on Saturday has already begun, most were getting 8hr days, now most are clocking out with 10-11 hr days.

Soon.

Nothing is set in stone yet, but as of now it looks like it will be June, building-wide seniority (3 centers ), and 8.5 hour dispatch.

Seniority wise, I figure I am right at the cutoff point. Could go either way for me.

What is going to happen when max vacations hit?

Population I suppose. The figure 4,700 cities was mentioned in that video. What's that make it--cities over 25,000 in population?

 

[Jackburton]

Not much actually, all of these Sat drivers are new hires and as such have very little vacation allotments.

ops can't help but have bad dispatches once the IE team leaves lmao

we hired to that number so it shouldn't affect anything

What about Holidays? Monday holidays in particular. Take Memorial Day for example. Working Monday - Friday gets you a nice 3 day weekend. If you work Tuesday - Saturday, Do you get an extra day off, or do you get screwed that way too?

You'd get Tues off, just like if a holiday was on a Sun, you get Monday off, on regular M-friend schedule.

So what happens to the preloads on these sat ground hubs? Is it extra work for our preload?

Same as drivers. Volunteers/bottom up come in on Saturday. The rest come in Monday.
