We still have a couple parked with all the red tags and wrecks slowly rusting away.

We still drag around 2 tp60's every day even with the bad receiver problems that have come up, and that extra 7 cents an hour comes in real handy when I'm a little short the next week.

If you are that short on cash try picking up a few pop bottles while on route and cashing in the refund.

Actually I was a penny off, it was 8 cents an hour extra, not 7. With that extra dollar and change that I made for that 10 hour day momma can really splurge now...
Im bidding that route! 8 cents an hour,would completely change my life style!

Its a real nice route. You get to your area 2 hours after you start at the building, deliver 60 or so stops in town, usually 25 or 30 rural routes in a 15 mile by 10 mile delivery area, have 10 pickups and have to be back to building by 715 so the air shuttle can leave.
The only stress on this route is towing the trailer to and from area.

Ours was .10. Not really worth the stress of pulling those death traps around. Especially at 65-70 mph.

No. Nobody in our center has a route all week unless they are the perm bid driver for that route. I am on the start list everyday because I have enough senority that I will be used every day but I don't know the route I will be on until PCM. Since I know most routes in the building it is not unusual for me to drive five routes in a week.
I think with the new language I should be able to be assigned to one route all week. We know 5-9 routes will need vacation coverage, and we know the week before which routes they are.
I just looked at my half way thru year pay stub and I am averaging 55 hours a week since Jan 1. Peak nev ends!

Same here. Many times, I've left the building and had to swap routes with someone. The key is you are being "reassigned by the employer"

Yes. I dread seeing ODS light pop on in first 15 min on road. Might be a on demand PU or might be dreaded "RETURN TO CENTER".
