I’m not home schooling anyone. We are slammed. Not enough people or trucks. Started rolling stops today.

Oh damn I thought you were out on leave. Yeah we are slammed here as well. Like I said in another thread. I don't know how much more some drivers will be able to take this.

I would think $36/hr for a job that requires only a HS diploma and driver's license would ease their pain.

Well, we make more than that now. With no school, a lot of people are dealing with things you never dreamed of. And also, STFU.

To quote major league...
"Over 162 games, even tough guys get strains... Sore arms... Muscle pulls..."

The body gets sore and fatigued . Especially after 5 or 6 10-12 hour days.

And my steward tried telling me today split routes haven’t been enough to bid them. Smh


They’ve been at least 4 days a week for over a month now. Unless they literally weren’t in at all before that they need bid.

Me getting home at 9 pm really stresses my wife. At that point she’s essentially a single working mom.

Take your start times and blow them out your ass.

I’ve seen so many funny things. Grown men crying, quitting, threatening each other and managers. It’s always great when someone comes in and sorts their truck for an hour, then gets bumped by a senior driver. Stomping feet and boogie snot crying.
