Covid, Peak, And Driver's Helpers?

[Jumpin Jack Flash]

How about lunch? We stay in the truck and the helper seat is what, 3 foot away?

During lunch you won’t be able to sit in your seats. Simple. You can quit?

Not six feet apart. The state mandated this distance as a requirement minimum.

I find it funny that drivers are somehow worried about the risk of someone in the passenger seat, given the amount of public contact already in the job.

But if you're just looking to give the company headaches and cause trouble for the fun of it, then I support you.

That's a worthy cause.

That’s my point, you won’t be having lunch in the truck. 6ft is recommend, not law. With a mask on there is also leniency with 6ft recommendations.

Wally thinks Covid19 is a scam. Read his posts. He’s a Trumper, but he’s worried about masks and social distancing.

Yep, lunch in the truck.

Rules in my state require 6 feet spacing, when possible. It is possible, no?

Anyone know if the Teamster leadership has made any statements in regards to helpers in the trucks this peak?

Without helpers, the company will need lots of extra drivers.

Don't fear- the "elected leaders" will get out in front of this and hold the company accountable.

It will be more than what the members do on a daily basis....

I have a feeling the company has zero plan. This could be worse than than early spring.

You just posted the key phrase, “when possible”. Possible doesn’t mean mandated. Learn English!

I guess if Dave signed up as a Driver Helper, no one would accept him for all of Peak?

I would...

I would drop him off with a handcart and stops to walk off

My guess is the union doesn't care, the company has zero plan, and the drivers will be put at risk.

My guess is there are gonna be plenty of out of work people willing to deliver packages out their cars for 15$/hour.

We have helpers now. They let us ask any of the preloaders if they want to help.

It is possible 100 percent. You drive alone. No helper.

Covid will barely be a concern come October.

Walk? Walk? Dave runs like a damn raped ape.

COVID will be a concern until November 4th

Sure, the media will keep clutching at straws to keep it relevant.
