This is the first year that I get to be top dog working. LOL I looked at the schedule last night and what did my eyes behold.......... a free hour. LOL My sup scheduled a less senior driver to start work an hour before moi! I made sure he understand the ramifications of his decision. I am sooooo good that way. I noticed the schedule was changed tonight. hehehehhhe

Down here, all air drivers work, plus any ft drivers that sign up. if no ft drivers sign up, then they force the bottom 4 or so. This year, it's all the air drivers plus 8 or so senior drivers. They will have all the air done by noon, and those wanting 8 will be washing PC's.
Being in feeders, I used to work Friday and Saturday, 12 hours days, making pickups,and max out my hos log. Now that I have a Sun-Thur night run, I turned down the Fri- Sat work, and instead will come in early on Sunday to help clean up the mess. in Columbia.

Worked Wed night into Thursday. Regular work night in feeders. Boy we get strange looks in the A.M from most people.

When I was forced it was reg pay, now its double. I have nothing to do, so at almost 60$ per hr, I will take it. Now if family were in town or I had planned to be gone, I am high enough not to be forced.
Its such a nice easy day, I think its why I volunteer.
I call this a service day, the way UPS should be. If there is a car in the lot, I check every entrance I can to ensure if someone is waiting for a part, that I find them. It is my job to provide that service
I got so many answers when I asked if they would be open, that said "someone will probably be around", so I must check. I dont think I heard anyone say they would be closed. Lack of communications in the companies? I sure dont know, I dont think that happens

The day after Thanksgiving is a cake walk but isn't worth it in the end. Taxes eat it up.

Hey Arrow, can I tell my sup that? Sorry boss, I can't work the feds take to much out. LMAO

Wait a minute. At our center if the regular package drivers volunteer to come in, it is straight time. If forced, then it is time and a half. In the past, we always got time and a half when we signed up. So which is it? The management says it is in our contract that the day after Thanksgiving is straight time unless forced. I don't have the contract with me, so does anyone know for sure? And double time?? When does that come into play?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

We get paid 8 for the holiday and straight time whether forced or volunteer. It is Code 5 unless we request 8.

 

[raceanoncr]

One of us is going to have to come in and put your set together?

Yes, because...uh...I don't amember how? Well, somebody's got to work, right?

By the way, don't wake me up.

Funny, one year, we dropped at CACH, had to TO to Palatine. Mngr said that "guard" would open gates at 2100 to let us in to get loads. I said, "We'd be at Palatine at 1700, can you call somebody else to let us in?".

"Uh...the "guard" will open gates at 2100 to let you in to get loads."

"OK".

Arrived, as I said, at Palatine at 1700. Both of us sat til 2115 when "guard" arrived to open gates. Let's see...4 hours, EACH, at double plus holiday pay? Then had to call road service to fix light that was out on set. Man, I love this job!

Naw...don't hook us up...we can do it ourselves...AT DOUBLE PLUS HOLIDAY PAY!!!!!!!

[toonertoo]

It depends on your contract I guess Helen.
Here is is double time plus your regular 8. Whether forced or volunteer.

 

[dilligaf]

And time and a half here plus the 8, volunteer or forced.

Helen it used to be that way here to. If you volunteered you made straight, if forced double time. Now its anyone that works gets double time. Please check your contract as it varies from area to area.

8 hours for the holiday plus double time for all time worked and it does not matter if you are forced or if you volunteer. i always work close to 10 hours that day.

 

[lovemyupser]

My husband needs some new UPS Socks. But I can't remember the web site we can order them from. I was hoping you all would help me out on this one.
