[QUOTE="VeeTeeGee, post: 4160063, member: 77303"] We have a call list, but only a single driver ever(sometimes) takes them up on it, and even then he only catches the last 2 hours of pre-load. And we've been hiring since the day I got here. Most can't handle the work, and why would they when they can flip burgers or work at Target for $15-16/hr to start. It takes a person with a specific kind of life to be able to show up at 3am and work 6-7 hours for less pay than almost everywhere else around here. I really do think it's a small center versus big center/hub thing as well. When the big hubs have 4 people on pre-load missing, it's not a world ender and things can be shifted accordingly, plus they have a larger call sheet to find replacements. When we have 4 people missing, be it vacations, unexpected call ins, people going back to school, etc, we're down ~20-25% of our pre-load. The numbers just don't exist for us to pull from. Either way, I understand the point that people make about management not doing union work, I just don't see it as a one size fits all sort of thing. ::shrug:: [/QUOTE]
