Contract Prediction

[El Correcto]

Talked to a DHL driver today. They are at $30/hr with $1 yearly raises for 5 years. Progression is 3 years at DHL. Also, DHL is hiring drivers in bunches.

That dude is lying. I tried to find that and there’s nada to back it up. Like 50,000 yearly was the high end with tractor trailer.

the fail, is finding people that will work at the same level as current drivers

Package delivery

Yeah they make less according to all the sites I checked. Tractor trailer was highest paid.

Best to schedule all of your vacation weeks during first weeks that current contract expires.

It appears that in 10 years you'd need to make $46.33 just to keep the buying power you have today. So $.75 per year for 10 years puts you at $43.69.
It appears, you have NOT only received any raise, but you have lost $.86 cents in 10 years. Don't go bragging to your neighbors about that screwing your taking. I'm sure upper management will be having a good laugh at that raise you think your getting, and with good reason.

When you type $.86 you do not need to add the word cents.

Even better to schedule all 6 to precede a projected retirement date.

Bro, I used the formula for simple compounding principal.

36.9 * 1.021^10

principal * rate ^ (time in years)

I think you're ready to calculate time studies for routes now.

Looks like a late 60's Greeves, old British MX bike w/ leading link suspension. I raced a Montesa 125 back then.

I was thinking 60's british also! Don't know for sure! Looks like the beetles in the background!

 

[thisjobaintforeverybody]

Maybe a Norton's or Royal Triumph??

 

[brownelf]

Nope it's definitely a Greeves, the leading link front fork and the shape of the front fender is the giveaway.

I was thinking Greeves myself. If you had a Montesa 125 as a kid, then your family had money! That pic above, has a bit of resemblance to the Yamaha Enduros back then. Gas tank, engine case, hubs, seat (a little bit) cylinder, pipe fenders and high center of gravity frame. I thought the Montessa's had a low center of gravity - except for their Trials bikes.

the solution to adding more cars is to pull out the rollers and park down the center asile. We had preload wrapping past 9:30 last they tried that.

What percentage do you estimate, they were able to add? If you have 100 cars, were they able to add at lease 15? Did it go fairly smooth?

They can't find people off the street to work as efficient as drivers. but with sometime, they'll get better. Till then, they'd have to cut the workload in almost half per driver, to get the packages delivered and PU done. I don't think the buildings could do that. Sups could get a car done, but there isn't enough sup and managers. They cut them back too! LOL. I think it would be Chaos, for almost a month. Customers are not going to put up with that for a month.

We should be getting $8 over the next 4 years.

We had our union meeting today and our BA, who is a former driver, hung around afterward to update us on the contract negotiations.

He is confident that we will have an agreement in place at least a month early.

PT wages will be addressed.

The point with PT wages is how it's interpreted by UPS.
If the states and government mandate a minimum wage higher than UPS's former, does UPS bargain it ???

Why would the Teamster's bargain for higher PT wages when the Gov't forced it on UPS ?

PT wages will be addressed in an effort to eliminate the rampant staffing shortages.

You truly are a real piece of work.

You truly are a real piece of work.

To be blunt, you have an unrealistic viewpoint when it comes to PT wages.
