I'm not sure everywhere but in Central you must punch six days to get your overtime.

Antagonizing without educating is always a useful tactic. "You don't get it", "you're doing them a favor", blah blah blah. If you're trying to make a point of being off Friday vs Saturday who cares what day that man has off, full friday or half a Saturday is same 
depending on your personal life. If you're saying he did something wrong then stop beating around the bush and explain why he needed to demand 8. Otherwise keep reliving the old days of hand writing on papyrus and delivering out of steam engines cuz you're not helping the guy out.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Which is total BS. They’ve also convinced our BA that you need to request your 8.
That’s not what guaranteed 8 hours means. If I clock in that’s my “request” for 8.

When they do this to me I deliver everything in the aisle no matter where it is on my route. Then I get back on trace. Sure does make a 13hour day much easier.

They’ve been shaving hours off guys here too, now more then ever follow the methods. Orion has a way of making an 8hr day a 10hr day real quick.

Runner.. That’s a 20 stops per hour average. Easy to do in a densely populated area.

I am running an extra feeder job. Last year, the hubs were really hard to get in and out of, this year, piece of cake. Last year, 13-14 hours on the clock, did not have hours to work a 6th day. This year, 10 hours is my long day 9s for the rest of the week, last night, I had my 1st ever 8 hour day in feeders. It was everything I dreamed it would be.

The weather has held out where I am which I think is a big edge. Delivery stops and volume have varied but the pickups have become much heavier and intense with some places having an earlier hard closing time due to the pandemic.
I've had to really rely much heavier on picture texts from customers and other drivers this time around in order to get a good idea of whether I can safely know I can fit all the volume in or not on any given workday. Picking up at an OfficeMax can either be 30 smalls or 5 huge desk chairs.
I know many here despise the use of PVD's, but if my building didn't have them there would be now way We'd have ever kept up to this point. The load quality would go from shaky to simply unworkable.

I had 7 misloads on Wednesday and 6 Thursday. I was supposedly on a "curfew" on Thursday and Friday so they could preserve my hours for Saturday. On Thursday, they didn't send PVD help til about 20:00. On Friday, they didn't send it at all. So the "plan" to ensure I'd have a full 8 hours available for Saturday resulted in me having about .5 hours which I was totally fine with.
