Punched out 3 days this week in a tick under 9 hours. The other 2 days got it shoved straight up my
And here's the kicker. They shoved it so far up my the other 2 days, I really didn't lose anything but a few bucks. lmao. Being a 9.5 driver is a beautiful sight to behold. I highly recommend everyone get on the 9.5. It's tremendous

LMAO at TearsInRain saying 9.5 is no big deal. We just pay the grievance. Lmao. My center manager bout near had a seizure when Stewey told him to correct my dispatch or else. Tell us another cool story TearsInRain.

Your center is the exception then according to everyone else on BC.

sucks to be the center manager i guess but no one higher than him cares

I couldn't care less who cares. Some I.E. geek who wouldn't last one day in my world, or some other suit. Doesn't matter to me. I asked to be relieved of excessive OT per the contract, and my request has been honored thus far.

good, you shouldn't have to work OT, it's a terrible thing

also i did your job for more than a day you'll have to pick a different metric

Maybe you would like to clarify this statement so us dummies could understand WTF you are talking about.

Why does my dispatch sup seem to have no clue what a commercial stop is?

Yet Orion and the DIAD does.

As did I.

Today they are puppets.

Are you saying that @Dragon is a puppet???

i hate to break this to you, but your OCS doesn't make any important decisions at UPS

You truly are jaded my friend. Keep sitting in your Ivory tower planning Stops and Volume that are correct 14.8% of the time.

On car Sups and especially center managers make the most important decisions...the ones that impact the customers. Which is more important to the success of the company than your PKG numbers.

I was told to hire an additional 5 drivers last peak by the oh so important IE planner. I need 15. I was the one banging HR's door down to get the correct amount. I was the one training them. What did my planner do while I fixed his mistake? Building powerpoints.

i would argue the drivers are the ones doing the heavy lifting on the customers, not the center management

also how did you determine you needed 15 instead of 5? dumb example to drop without any more details there dude

When your dispatching a 13 hour day first week of December its pretty easy to see more drivers are needed.

I just find your statement of all operators being useless is also highly idiotic. C'mon man. Let go of your geek Ego and realize IE is just one small piece of the machine

I know they panic at my center when a guy 9.5's and dispatch forgets. They start throwing stuff off the truck and the guy next to him gets a 14 hour day lol

 

[clean hairy]

And if the guy next to him is 9.5, then they got another problem, especially if everyone would be 9.5, they would have a major problem.

 

[Coldworld]

Not everybody.

Butt out!!! Let the scrubs fight among themselves....this is getting interesting...mind your biz Dave!!

 

[Coldworld]

Hopefully our union leaders will make the 9.5 language rock solid and easier to get on and maybe some of our babies will finally stop being afraid and get on the list....this company will be sorry they ever agreed to this language

And they say solidarity doesn't work... they would add cars and secretly the " center managers" will be jumping up and down because 50% of their workplace issues will be gone like that....fighting about overdispatching..

 

[Coldworld]

I know he's a scrub, but a puppet also... that might be going a little too far @TearsInRain ..

 

[ManInBrown]

So much for no one in management caring about 9.5

According to TearsInRain the district just pays the grievances and couldn't care less.

Nine weeks ago Stewie told my center manager to fix my dispatch or he'd have another 9.5 opt in driver

In the 9 weeks since, how many weeks do you think I've worked over 9.5 three days or more? Zero.

I get it stuck up my you know what 2 times per week, and the other 3 days I average between 8.75-9.25 days

The threat of 9.5 is a beautiful thing when utilized properly. Sure looks to me like someone, somewhere cared.
