[QUOTE="noazrk, post: 3673145, member: 22243"] Now now, every driver knows all part-timers live in a trailer park popping out babies to max out food stamps and working JUST enough hours to get the maximum EIC refund. Then we put on our pizza stained shirts, wrap more duct tape around our 10 year old boots and ride our bikes to work stoned, holding in our breath as we go through the guard shack. It's just a fact of life (especially on Preload), thank a driver today for everything we have ;-) One more thing FT drivers need to know is this. Even though we're PT, we are expected to put UPS first just like them. Most of us in Tempe Twilight are working close to 30 a week. We are expected to show up every day and stay until all work is done regardless of our day job or school schedule. During peak season we're expected to work 6 days a week until the work is done, just like them. The last 3 weeks, our Thursday shift which is one of the lighter ones has been 6.5-7 hours before going down. Myself, I'm over 1200 hours already. Yes, full-timers should make more than part-timers but the question is by how much? I guess double isn't good enough? Why are some FT drivers so callous about our opinions and desires of the contract? Let's see, I heard about 8-10 drivers came off the road for an inside Load/Unload combo job in Phoenix and most went back to driving within a week! What? The job was too easy? [/QUOTE]
