We just had a meeting about this and a few other topics at our local. They are hiring 30+ 22.4's to start transitioning all our RPCD's off of a T-S schedule. Expected to be done in the next month or two, want to have the shift completely done by summer. So probably means by peak they should be close.

I don’t know how that would ever work
all the big industrial and manufacturing around here shipping and receiving are closed on Saturday
Most if Saturdays is residential deliveries. I guess it depends on what part of town you are in. Maybe malls and department stores want delivers and Weekend pick ups?

Retail is open all day. My building delivers everything it can on Saturday. Pickups also happen.

Never seen so many layoffs the last two weeks. Our parking lot is half empty. Top covers aren’t working and we’ve even had some full timers take this entire week off so far. They asked me to take two days as well.

This just seems stupid. If the volume is there I get Saturday delivery it is what it is. But if you’re robbing Peter to pay Paul it makes no sense to me.

Pay the low wage for Saturday drivers ...lay off the full rate people on Monday

What are they gonna do when full rate starts demanding their 40?
It has just never seemed well thought out to me. Now we are gonna have Sunday deliver soon. Where’s that gonna come from?

Been saying this all along ....not sure, but the Sunday delivery they push along 2 customers may be just Surepost delivered 2 the Post office on Saturday ...then delivered by mail carriers ...again I may be wrong on this
They are going to push for a 4X10 work week for RPCD. JUST WATCH!!

Yeah screw that. Was just telling another drivers wife a week or two ago. I worked 3 days and had 7+ hours of OT. I’d rather work 5 and 8.5-9 hour days. I’m not big on the 10+ hours days.
we all know the 10 hour days would be 11’s also.

Don’t know all the details. But we have one truck that loads up with smalls bags and is scheduled to leave much earlier than everyone else.
That sucks
