HELPERS TOMORROW!?

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I could use it. I like my ass staying in the seat all day. But we have a lot of guys not working and they should "exhaust all workers" before starting helpers.

Grievance,time!

Rumor going around is some of the Midwest hubs or volume is catching up finally because of all the flooding and bad storms. Supposedly tomorrow is going to be like a peak day supposedly- STILL AINT SCEARED, BRING IT lol.

I hope your local isn't that weak to allow helpers this early. How about promote some of these PT guys to go driving.

Out here PT helpers get top scale driver wage when helping outside of peak season.

 

[Brownslave688]

No helpers here,till November 1st

As it should be and only after EVERY driver is on the road.

 

[BigBrown609]

We just got done our first peak so we still have some helpers. Should die down till November though.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

Heavy heavy day. They brought out the rollers like it is peak. Seems to be 5-8 routes added per center.

If your "ass (is) staying in the seat all day" then you are not using your helper in the most efficient manner possible.

Ha. You're talking as if this company actually places value on efficiency. News flash: they don't.

One thing I'll never forget from my first day on the job was a now retired teamster telling me "only be a donkey when you have to be".

Couldn't agree more. But in Clarksville every situation is perfect and that isn't the case where I am. I don't want a helper. But if they are going to force one on me, when they do, then he is going to be my legs while I drive.

They are called helper teams for a reason.

There is no "I" in helper team.

And each team member has their job. Their's is to be the legs while mine is to sort, record, drive, and plan.

Our first peak is wrapping you....we get a month or so reprieve.

I got asked to stay home. Sometimes being in an overstaffed center has its perks.

I agree. They help give me time to set up my truck while they deliver the packages.

Dang beat me to it.

 

[jibbs]

A few of the newer drivers have been talking about their helpers the past two weeks in the center I work at.

And it really seems like the only drivers I know that have helpers right now were hired in the past couple of months.

The question is, did you take up that offer? I'm guessing yes.

Sorry I was sleeping....

I was in the pool.
