anyone else burnt out yet?

They did seem to plan well here. Tons of casuals and rentals. That first week was really rough, but last week my manager assigned a casual to help me so it isn't bad now although with working 7 days a week, I still got 65+ hours last week.

Long lecture by the security guy last week. We are getting vaccines in on Monday, and are being warned the trucks had better be locked. If a box gets stolen, there will be hell to pay.

I was doing 200+ stops a day but it's so compact the latest I got back is like 3:30. That was until the contractor I work for fell so far behind they took away the area I deliver to so they loaded me up with 315 stops in an area I'm not all familiar with and the tablet died during the middle of the day. Either way, I tested positive for covid yesterday so I'm done until Christmas.
 

It will be fine

It was the entire point of the thread. I’m sorry my business being prepared for peak upsets you. No blue tarps for you to crow about. Being too old for the job is why I built up my business so I don’t have to personally sling boxes. It’s called hard work and a plan, some things that are no doubt foreign to you.

But you'll gladly send somebody ELSE out to do the job for half the wages and zero benefits and don't even try to tell us that you don't because the 'take it or leave it" rate and settlement package that you so called "negotiate" (lol) is based on that labor rate and if you try to move them off of it they'll simply close up shop, walk out the door and leave you standing there with your thumb up your bodily orifice.

But, don't worry this won't happen before you are given no choice but upon the demand of that company turn over all payroll and other privileged and confidential records of your so called 'business" for their inspection, evaluation and audit. And the information they glean from it will be used against you in any future so called "negotiations".

Whatever. I’m making more than ever and working less.

Your “business.”

Your “business.”
He keeps trying albeit unsuccessfully to make us believe that what he has meets the generally recognized definition of a business. The subservience of the contractor to that corporation is absolute and never questioned. And the moment that you the contractor begin to think that they can't get along without you is when you've take your first step out the door.

I make more from my couch than you ever did driving. My drivers make more than you ever did driving. My managers can get along without me because I’ve trained them well. Peak is a breeze. I’m better prepared than it sounds like Express is.

How much liberty does your “business” have to operate outside the will of Freddy Smith?

I just want to make friends!
I'm no usual idiot, I'm casual, that said, I bet every penny I'll make this year against yours that the condition changes. Up for it?
Why you think it's wise to bank on a disaster is beyond me. The entire company was supposed to be neck deep in stacks of undelivered freight by now based on observations from this past summer.
