That's a slap in the face.

Yup Northern California. And at that time I wasn’t top rate yet. I just gave them as much work as possible. So I could go home early lol.
I completely disagree with the mindset here that the PVDs are "stealing" union work. I know that this is a contentious topic here, but they are just seasonal workers trying to make a buck during the holidays. It's not like driver positions are being eliminated and replaced with permanent PVD positions. They are just adding to available capacity during a season when it's needed and they bear the responsibility of the wear and tear on their own personal car.
By all means, please take 20 stops out of my crammed package car during peak. And there was definitely more work than I needed last peak, don't think I worked a single day of less than 8 hours.
So you was paying union dues so he could steal your overtime?

He was still? Didn’t know that.
Hey if you want to pay $1,200 a year noon news to have a scab take money from your family go ahead and do it.

This is exactly what is wrong with with this generation of teamsters nobody's willing to stand up and fight.
If you want to scab out your work and that's up to you that's your future

Blows my mind it takes 4 years when it use to take 30-90 days.
Now it's probably about 10 years for top right if you got the 22.4 jobs trying to get a RPCD job

We already stopped using summer PVDs about 2 months ago.

Yeah, I'm a road hog
They aren't promised anything when hired. Specifically told you won't jump to a driver position, gotta pay your dues in the warehouse/hub first. What we were promised was fair pay for a fair days work, expected to adhere to grooming standards and pretty much conduct yourself like a regular package car driver in appearance and interaction, if any, with the customer. What I found out along the way is that while my driver would meet me and unload all my stops for the day I then had to sort them, make notes on where in the car I put them so I could run the route more efficiently. On heavy days reload as many as four times and get the last of it out of the business who graciously gave some space for me to sort and store out of the weather by 5pm when they closed, not easy some days. Then when I was done with my 60 to 80 stops go help a package car driver who was in a time crunch for scheduled pick ups and next day air stuff. So bag on the pvd's all you want but there are some out there who knew what they were getting into and some who didn't but sucked it up and did the job anyway. You call them "Scabs" but what is a scab? It's a covering over a wound, in this case work overload for the regular drivers, so they can "heal", in other words not go over their time limit and be subject to penalties and maybe, just maybe, get home to their family at a reasonable hour once in a while. You're Welcome.
