[QUOTE="Undertow, post: 5671582, member: 4550"] If that's the case in your building, then congratulations and by all means enjoy it. That hasn't been the reality for any building in my area for at least a decade or longer where delivery vehicles and FT drivers qualified to drive them always come up short from Thanksgiving through New Years. Before the year 2005, it was a rarity to see more than one on-car out of the 8 or 9 in our building put on Browns and make some deliveries during peak. Ever since then? If most all of them aren't out covering routes in our building, they are covering routes out of our nearest buildings and often as far away as Fargo, ND. It's a big country and not every building is fortunate enough to have enough workers available when the volume really comes pouring in. That's just one reason among possibly many others why PVD usage, despite all the supposed objections to it, wasn't really addressed all that much this time around. There really isn't the widespread groundswell of resentment across the broad rank and file that some seem to assume it is. [/QUOTE]
