Relax, we’re busting your balls.
SSD's (PVD's) implemented 6-7 weeks from Christmas. New contract already ignored?
- Thread starter JL 0513
- Start date
Not saying you couldnt do peak without PVD, it musta been a wicked season

I personally have done 8 or 9 without. Some were good and some were bad and very long.
i gotcha, some are offeneded, some arent. its hard to differentiate between the two. I get it, im a scab that isnt really wanted, but im just trying to work, which most of society doesnt wanna to do crap to get a paycheck
Absolutely, I was asked to help a reg route driver who was new, and struggling, I was more than happy to help as heavy routes during peak can be very overwhelming, and cause anxiety which is never fun

Me personally I get the use of you guys. While I don't fully agree with it I do see the necessary evil side of it. In my building we don't even have enough parking let alone space for more trucks. My biggest problem is how bad the company abuses anything they possibly can. And that includes you(as a group not you personally). I was hoping this contract would set more clear rules regarding your use and implementation but it fell a little short. Maybe next contract it can be expanded some more.
I know the contract has now limited PVD from 11/15-12-26. Which has decreased PVD work which was 11/1-end of yr. I completely understand that Union workers want to keep as much work as they can, but how much stress can a person take to make sure a package gets there, just to keep an employees sanity, safety, and well being?
Instead of putting us in a central UPS location, they rent out storage units. We put about 6 routes into 2 units (700 packages)

And that's the tricky part of it. What's the happy medium of keeping drivers happy and healthy
Which honestly frees up up to 3 truck spots I would say in your building. That's something else a lot of people don't understand. Where are the extra trucks going to come from? We are out of rentals here.
CERTAINLY!!! It only makes sense to free up truck spots that are going to make more stops, and get the job done more efficiently. I feel soooo bad for the guys in our area that are working out of rental trucks that dont have van access like a reg brown. They have to open a back overhead door for every stop from a rental trk...BS
My average PVD route is about 100 stops, with about 180 packs....thats no place for PVD in a central location for reg route trucks which have much more
Would a 150 lb desk make it in this focus?

Lol. My comment bothered you that much? Relax. 99% of SSDs show up in cars or family suvs. I honestly appreciate yall showing up to run my misloads. I will get the OT you cost me back next month.

So people buy $70,000 trucks so they can make $23 an hour at a temporary job? No wonder the economy is so screwed up and people are so ignorant. Get your priorities, right. Smdh
