Peak driver and schooling?

[Matty_lawn]

Was approached today by HR and the driver sup about driving during peak. I asked if that means I need to go through the schooling and didn't really get a straight answer.

I own and operate a landscaping company so during this time with the leaves coming down I am super slammed and I would hate to lose out on the money if I skipped clean ups and went to school. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I tried to use little words.......tell them that you prefer to spend your first Peak working on the inside.

During peak you'll make maybe $650 after taxes and deductions as a driver. I bet you'll make more with your own business if you do snow removal or whatever.

You would make more double sorting and working any special sorts they have this time of year

If he couldn't understand the little words why would you expect him to understand" prefer "?
That is just trollish behavior Dave. I expect better from you

You failed. The font is no smaller than normal.

"Just say no."

Well my gut wanted to tell you no. However there are factors to consider. Do you plan on becoming a FT driver? How many spots till you become one?

Consider that you will have time off to spend with your loved ones during Christmas/Holidays, unlike the drivers.

Drugs yes



Alcohol all depends on what time of the day they decide to test.

I wouldn't give up the guarantee money you got coming from landscaping.They may not even work you everyday until after Thanksgiving.

Hey plus it's going to start getting dark earlier next week and you don't want to be stuck delivering somewhere you've never been before

 

[HEFFERNAN]

Say No.
Why get rushed into it and make a mistake that will cost you a full time position.

If you are interested in FT driving, sign up for Saturday air and learn the Diad and delivery procedures the right way. Eventually, you will have to make a choice to end your lawn boy business.

Know a little something about the landscaping business. Money to be made between now and the end of the year, especially if you do Christmas lights. One my best friends owns a pretty large operation, and he does as well in December as he does in March, according to him.. If you do it, realistically you'll be put in a position of having to turn away business if you end up driving 40-50 hours a week (can't say that you would, just assuming you might).. I don't think I could do that as a business owner. Really depends on the size of your operation, but if you are intent on growing it, I'd let the driving go..

Thanks. I do pretty well in the winter...if it snows that is. I plowed 4 times last year and its always a drag. I turn down business now but I only have 2 full timers plus myself. Im not trying to get much bigger, 15 hour days between preload and landscaping is plenty!

The goal should be to grow the business to the point where you have a working manager who oversees the operation on your behalf.
