[QUOTE="scratch, post: 3833106, member: 1674"] I have three helpers on my route this year, lucky me. I've had one on my car going on three weeks now. My first one assigned is on a cruise this week and the two-week experienced woman Preloader that replaced him moves faster. I keep this Helper on my car until I am done for the day, I don't look at suggested hours on a paper time card. Neither one of us have been trained on a Helper phone so I don't bother with it. I got a PVD Driver to help about the same time. Her first two days she didn't show up because her DOT card wasn't ready. The third day she shows up finally and quit on the spot. They put her load on the wrong package car so I didn't witness this disaster in person. She took a tutorial online and drove up driving a tiny Lexus SUV that has practically no cargo room. The driver handed her 33 stops and a phone that she had no idea how to turn on. That did it, she was set up to fail with zero training from my management team. The Helper Co-ordinator had to drive out and shuttle her load to me so I delivered it. The next day my Center Manager and Shop Steward were able to actually train her after talking her into trying again. Except for the inability to handle large packages, she is starting to work out. When she gets through she tracks me down and takes more stops off me when she wants more work. That's fine with me, I'm happy to get through by six. My third Helper hopefully got trained on my golf cart route today. I noticed the storage pod sitting in place yesterday and that huge subdivision was off my car today. I'm thinking about meeting all three of them at 11:00-11:30 at the golf cart pod and throwing the PVD Driver's stuff out there so she can load up multiple times and work out of it. I only had seven hours of work on my route and I was forced to take my on-car helper today. We got through at 4:30 and I took guaranteed pay to drive home tonight. [/QUOTE]
