Stressed about Cyber Monday

[iowa boy]

So, did anyone else's 9.1 plan day get thrown out the window like ours did?

Hello guys, I’m worried about tomorrow and the rest of peak season. Management told me I’m going to be on a heavy route for the rest of peak and they will have me at 250-300 daily. It’s stressful being a cover driver because you can never get too comfortable on a single route before they move you around. This will be my second peak driving but last peak I was just thrown in a uHaul with a heater to deliver bulk all day.

Now I will be in an actual package car and I’ve heard the helper they are going to give me is not in the best of shape. I should be trying to sleep right now but I’m very stressed because I know I’ll be out delivering past 9 PM and it will be very cold. I wish they gave us a 9.5 dispatch...

We're all on the edge of our seats wanting to know.

Did you survive?

I brought back the entire 8000 shelf and didn’t tell anyone and just put my Diad away and clocked out

That doesn't even buy dinner and drinks on Saturday.

Oh believe me I know.
One of the drivers here took me out to dinner last week and when I saw the bill I immediately began calculating how many packages that meal was worth.
To top it all off he left our waitress a $20 for a tip and my head just about exploded.
I think I'm in the wrong business.

You will be fired for not sheeting packages.

Plan on being at work for 14 hours and bring back stops if you need to at 1030. They can do absolutely nothing to you. You won’t be the only one bringing stops back.

Just be sure to sheet them as missed, if you didn't already know that.

Sounds like you haven't been trained correctly. Competent management would jump up and down telling new/seasonal drivers that all packages must be sheeted. You won't be canned this time, but I wouldn't do that again.

Key word, competent management. Slowly dying off.

Although its hard to tell whether they are competent when they are mostly limited in what they are allowed to do.

Good luck, you’re gonna need it.

Layer up, eat breakfast and lunch. Work at your own pace. Just think about all that money you’ll be throwing at a stripper come January 1st. I’m talking stupid amounts of money here.

It'll be waiting for you the next day.

Tip: Dont roll same section everyday. You'll dig yourself a hole that'll be hard to get out of.

Cyber Monday sales up 19% over last year. Bring it!

Internet sales at all time high and we have all time low seasonal people hired....sounds about the right amount of planning for peak.
