Seasonal Driver Question

[MrM]

I was hired as a seasonal driver. Went to driver school last month. Immediately after driving school, I got 3 days with a full time supervisor on road working a route. Since then, Its been 3 full weeks since I worked a route (I counted exactly 21 days including today). Every day I show up in the morning with all the other drivers, but I hardly get any work whatsoever. If I'm lucky, Ill get 3-4 air stops and then I have to punch out and go home. If I'm really lucky, I'll be called later in the day to come in to do pickups. Its always some new area so supervisor rides with me. Is this normal? Paychecks are small, bills are piling up, I'm getting worried. I feel overwhelmed. Creditors don't care why or who or when, and honestly its embarrassing telling people you have a job but no money. I don't work long enough to even take a paid break. I've asked my supervisor for more work but I'm told hang tight. Is this normal?

Unfortunately they do that to many seasonals, then wonder why they quit.

They do it to a lot of seasonals. Just how it is. FedEx is hiring here and they actually put you to work. I suggest applying.

The smart thing to do is just find something else. You're a seasonal driver which means you'll be let go eventually.

Thanks guys. School restarts late August. I just can't lie to some other company saying train me only to quit late august when school restarts. Well, I could but....you get the idea...

Quit now! Does UPS seem to care about you at all?

Don't ask me, I'm not "nosey".
