    When does free period end?

    When does free period end? Our center is still using all drivers to run full routes. Do drivers that work after free period get peak days counted if they’re still driving? Or at least the days leading up to peak? Thanks in advance

    Vacation for TCD drivers

    I am little confused on something here. I am a TCD driver as Instructed was told to fill out my vacation on the driver list which in March will be 2 years with the company. I logged in on my UPSERS site to check on it. Once I logged on I notice it said 40 hours which I figured 20 for one week...

    6th punch for Friday due to Holiday on Sunday

    Was talking to an older driver, he stated he heard that today was our 6th punch. So that would mean 1.5 pay for the day. I’m in the central so I don’t know if it is different in other regions. Just trying to verify if anyone heard anything similar to the post or had any idea about it.

    How do these irregs pass through?

    How do we get pieces of farm equipment or propellers and fireplaces that weigh 150-200lbs but have 49 or 69 lb stickers? Why does management and safety ignore it and refuse to weigh? These things seem to pop up occasionally but peak has been ridiculous. I can easily do 200lbs myself but what's...
