How does the 70 hour thing work? 70 hours in 6 days? 100 pickup stops on Saturday? Wow we aren't even to peak yet and I am already tired just thinking about it!!

Yes seventy in six nut you still need your 34 hour reset

Black Friday and the day after both optional in my center. Of course my center manager is pushing it, but it is not mandatory. Not sure of the Saturday's after that.

Black Friday is mandatory at my center. Double time and a half, guaranteed 3 and a half hrs.

Saturday is volunteer, hours only, for pre-loaders and drivers. Low men on totem pole are SOL if there are not enough volunteers.

Why is the guarantee not 8?

Sorry....was referring to pre-loaders only.

Not sure what driver guarantees are.

We were told this morning that we can expect to work every Saturday between Black Friday and Christmas Eve, which, as it stands now, will be an air only day.

Thank god for this.

No way will Christnas eve be an air only day? Haven't heard anything about the Saturday after turkey day should be interesting.

 

[DOK]

In feeders, we are going from 60/7 to 70/8 for peak real soon. If they do that in package, you could work 12 hours a day Mon through Fri and 8 on Sat with 2 hours left over. 34 hour restart and brand new fresh hours of service on Monday.

How? Thought it was 60 hours max for the week?

Looks like I'll be sick every Saturday then!

Christmas Eve is a Saturday, so air only makes sense.

Unless we have had weather beforehand

Well yeah, that will screw everything up. But as of right now (and the plan IE has at least my building under), no Saturday Ground.

You made a funny, you said "IE" and "plan" in the same sentence. To me, that's a contradiction in terms.

They tell me to treat their "plans" as scripture, so I will in this case.

Don't make any Saturday plans

Frigid,

I understand, given the position that you hold, that you have to treat their plans as scripture, but I can pull numbers out of my ass just as easily as they can, and mine would make just as much sense as theirs do. The best part is, I get paid a hell of a lot less than those idiots do.

Being the extra man on Saturday air for the first few weeks so I don't have to worry about Christmas Eve, we'll have enough OT whores to where I won't have to worry.

You don't have to tell me. They give me my target numbers and I use my best judgement to hit them. Their volume numbers alone are usually off +/- 20%.
