So much today that wasn't on load charts. Maybe 500 possibly 600 for my cars. Bulk stops that weren't on there absolutely killed us.
Our belt was about 8 cars deep full of stuff. Drivers in the lot were struggling to close their doors. A couple people broke down crying. 2 women lost it, 1 guy walked out with tears of unfathomable sadness welling up in his eyes. All you people had to do was move boxes belt to rollers and you break down? Wow bye lol. I guess there goes our whole seasonal crew LOL
All of management was in unload by 3am. Funny to see them 5 years or 10 years later huffing and puffing and sweating like Shaq at the free throw line.
Our steward shut that helper BS down. Said no way in hell we are gonna work a 24h shift at plain OT. Steward said if we were offered driver pay it might be acceptable but mgmt turned that down.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
It's an individual choice on if you want to be a helper or not.
The Driver
I drive.
Give me a thousand stops, I don't care. It's demoralizing in a sense but as long as I'm paid in full and off the clock by 60 hours in a week then I couldn't care less.
They are waiting til Xmas week so they can ruin another holiday
It will happen.
Maybe not this Peak, but....
They have done it in feeders but not in package. Im not sure I understand the rules on 70/8

For us it just means a 70 hour work week because We still reset sat night to Monday morning.
I wasn't sure if you had to have more time off. Can't believe they haven't done it with Saturday deliveries.

34 hours off still resets the clock
Don't think I could do 70 on a week. I get pretty neat up after 55

Yeah they'd wish they hadn't worked me those last 15-20 hours
Yup, might as well call it 70/7.

does anybody know if the package count stops at 999? I won't find out today because I have a 75 stops left that will only be about 100 or 150 pieces.I remember about 7 or 8 years ago when I was on preload we would scan one of the trailers as we were loading it. That was on the diad IV but we couldn't scan more than a thousand per diad or it would mess things up

Yes it does.
It completely restarts the clock.
"60/70-Hour Limit
May not drive after 60/70 hours on duty in 7/8 consecutive days. A driver may restart a 7/8 consecutive day period after taking 34 or more consecutive hours off duty. "
That's right from the DOT website
