Helping other drivers

[Sissy Brown Short Shorts]

That’s not your call my dog
Your boss gets to decide how many and where the stops are I’am giving you so don’t try and play tough guy

I’ve never heard of a sup telling a driver to take 60+ stops off someone after 5pm. Common curtesy isn’t to screw the guy over that’s coming to help you either. You should give them the easiest stops in the tightest area. If I know the route where I’m being sent to help I’ll always look at what they have left and take the area I want to do. It’s not playing tough guy.

It usually happens to me once or twice a year. Definitely not normal.



So did the other guy have pickup volume, a load of stops left, or was he just an a-hole?

somedays I be working 10 + hours.

Listen man. Just deal with it now. As soon as they say “OK YOURE A PACKAGE CAR DRIVER” then become a problem and refuse work. Do everything you can to just get outta that inside PT gig.

If you come to help me out with stops, it’s not a negotiation. You’re here to help me and you will take what I give you. We’re not going to waste time looking through the board and asking how many stops in each neighborhood. Im going to give you my last 1 or 2 shelves of work and you get what you get.

For me it depended on who was the one sent to help me. If he was someone that usually helped others I would give him easier stops. If he was one of those who only cared about himself and never helped others I would give him the garbage. I seldom ended up getting help anyway. If it was on my truck I would deliver it if I had enough hours in the day. Sending help was up to management.

There’s your “brotherhood” for you lol

I’m sorry, did I hurt your feelings, management person?

Not mine. I couldn’t care less if I wanted.

The brotherhood is so flaky, it’s obvious why you all can’t get it together lol.

If that's the attitude you had if I was sent to help I would have simply closed the bulkhead door and drove away with no stops. You're on your own.

I’ve played that game. I usually just shut my door, leave and take nothing.

 

[toonertoo]

When someone came to help me, regardless if I was bad at my job, or overloaded, I gave them the easy or what they knew. It would be dark, thats only right.

Or in the days before mapnav, NSN everything because you can’t find it.

Whatever you do don't listen to the old timers. The veterans. They are bitter.

Get off my lawn.

That's exactly what I do. I always get a comment the next day about how easy the stuff was...it's not like I'm going to give someone helping me section 8 apartments after office close time in the dark.

Not that I've ever done what he's said but it wouldn't bother me if thats what you did. When I file 9.5 it won't be me being written up for not working as directed.

"Why did you work 12 hours!"

"I tried to give him stops but he wanted to sit and pick and choose instead of just taking shelf 8. So he left me there. Oh by the way here is the 9.5 grievance. "

Or even better.

"How did you run out of hours!!"

I just started driving and the sups asking me to help other drivers... I've been helping out other drivers...last week one driver I helped gave me 70 packages when it was already 5pm when I meet up with him. I don't mind helping out at all but damnnn...today I just got done with 180 stop and its 6:30 pm. the sup called me and wanted to me help out a driver. Its dark out and I'm tired. What advice can you guys give me?

Take that hr lunch so you don't finish as early or save that hr until you're finished in case they ask you to go help someone so you can take that hr before going to go help. If you go help someone don't let them give you what they want, ask for their diad and see what they have left and pick from there(you're helping them so you should be able to pick what you should take).

 

[bumped]

When I have 10 stops or less left I won't open any of the messages through the DIAD. I'm sure not answering my phone either.

 

[Megacolor]

You probably went and helped a person that has 80 business stops and a total of 220 stops. Your mere 170 you residential stops don't even compare.

he told me he has 180 stops. He gave me most of what he had left.

 

[eats packages]

I've seen it both way. Not a fan of the pick and choose type but only because of the prisoner's dilemma: I know I am giving them reasonable stuff and what they are trying to choose is just a bad approximation of what I was already planning to give them. Maybe they are right on another day with another driver by picking stops. who knows. Only time it works is if it was a split they frequent, bid drivers make for bad cover drivers it turns out.

he was just a a-hole. He only had stops,, no pick ups.
