Saturday ground

[MyTripisCut]

I hate it, they are moving me to a Tuesday- Saturday schedule and I'm being a big baby about it.

It's only gonna get worse. Just so you know.

You know what's great about having off Saturdays ...College Football !

Big 10! Who's not watching that on a Saturday afternoon?...oh yea, half the center.

Wait, so the computer takes 168 stops/175 miles and says that it is a 9.7 day? That would only be possible if the package car could fly. Is there a reason the software doesn't work like it does Monday through Friday?

The OrioN software thinks that there are no traffic, allowing you to open up that package car's maximum speed to ludicrous speed like this:

For you guys doing Saturdays are the same people dispatching and same management working 6 days a week? Or are they rotating?

I'm a preloader with a second Monday through Friday job. Now I won't have 2 days off. I know I'm being a baby, I'll get over it just wanted to vent. There is a lot of people with seniority that actually want the tursday though sat so with any luck ill get my old schedule back. I'm new so I'm in no position to really complain lol.

13hrs worked on a "9.7" dispatch on our 1st Saturday ground operation. 168 stops/175 miles. I hope they get the dispatch straightened out.

Big 10 is ok, but I'll be watching mostly SEC & ACC.

Mechanics in 2 man shops wind up being stretched across 2 positions every Monday.

We've been having ORS rotate dispatching Mondays and our dispatcher works T-S.

Our PDS has a little twerpy assistant that comes in and practices effing things up on Saturdays so the real maroon can stay M-friend.

You might be better off. Monday is the worst day of the week now.

I love the Monday's where it is my turn. Out by noon or 1PM, go home and take a nap on the couch, and chill out the rest of the day.

If I didn't hate preload so much I'd hop on that job in a heartbeat.

Our ORS has no idea how to even use DPS or DMS and no interest in learning how to use either one... I asked today how our center plans to operate once we go to Saturdays and was given the answer well can't you do Monday-Saturday Dispatching .. I said sure being as I always work 40+ hours every week anyway and live straight across from the center...

My center manager wouldn't let me get promoted until I knew it, and it really should be that way

I was a PT PDS for a few months. I couldn't believe they had a FTer when I got to a big building

I agree 100% every ORS should know how to use the system just for the fact if something should happen to the Dispatch Sup. ...They could take over for the day

I love it. I listen to some podcasts and nobody bugs me. Perfect for an introvert

Learning dispatch made me a better sup. I understand the whole area a lot better and know who has what.
