Pay code 05 means you are paid punch to punch. Code 06 means you are guaranteed 8 hours.

- Believe it or not, we just had a feeder driver bid back in to package. Reason? He was tired of working nights. He has never worked a day in package and has no idea how to use a DIAD. He was not one of the most motivated inside workers.
This should be interesting.

That is 1 in 1000.....very rare. Hope he sticks it to your boss!!

He still has to qualify and we can certainly use him but we are all trying to figure out the real reason for the move.
Probably the same reason we had a feeder bid the customer counter

That I could somewhat understand, although the pay cut must be quite substantial.
Learning a route with just three weeks before Peak is going to be a nightmare for all involved.
I havent worked a monday since I started because they say its the slowest day of the week and they have no work for me. On that particular Tuesday I was told that they were "running a limited load" whatever that means and so just "hang tight and ill let you know". Nothing happened and I was sent home.
Last week was the first week I finally worked about 8hrs from Tuesday to Friday and was told that I "scratched" every single day with 160 to 185 stops. Guess thats good.
Im hoping to keep working 8 hours or more next week as my savings are running low and im paying rent and utilities from there. Sucks.

Whats up everybody. So 2 weeks in are in the books..one week with supervisor and then by myself from last monday...i scratched on the 2nd day and every day past. He even called me on Thursday and asked me to go help a driver close to me since his helper didnt show up. Im all about it, more hours = more money.. im loving this job so far.. i enjoy just being by myself, i get focused on delivering and just knock it out..

It's a pretty simple job.

Im enjoying it.
the concept is but there are days when it's far from simple. I had 7 25+ piece bulks with multiple cods in each bulk that really was a pain the ass because these guys run these hole in the wall hair shops and can barely read or write English. I was told that's the norm on this route but still want u to do 150+ stops. those were very time consuming.

I find if helpful to write down the shipper names and COD amounts, hand that to the consignee and deliver adjacent stops while they are writing the checks.
I will have to try that. one stop had 22 packages and 9 cods in that. I was in there and over 15 minutes lol

I finally called the manager after the HR guy told me who my manager is.
We spoke for 10 seconds and he said would call me back. I haven't heard from him since this morning. Have no idea when I am supposed to start. This is only the first day after Integrad. How does this place work?

Mondays are generally our slowest day so I am not surprised that you didn't start today. I would think they would get you on road sooner than later as Peak is almost here.

The impression I get is obviously they don't need me. <shrugging shoulders>
