SSD's (PVD's) implemented 6-7 weeks from Christmas. New contract already ignored?

[Wally]

PVD's are still out working while drivers are punching out.

Well, the balance point is wherever the guys that do this day in and day out decided it is now don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

So, you are saying just do someone elses union job for less, because they are unable to... and get called a scab at the same time?

Brown drivers are more than able to assist in routes, just as much as PVDs

PVD is agreed-upon now you are a low paid seasonal driver if that’s not good enough for you put your application in if not hit the road Jack

So brown drivers complain they are overworked, and complain they dont get OT during peak..when are you happy? Dont you wanna be home during peak at a fair time to have dinner with the family without PVD taking away too much from you? I never complained about the pay, was just saying that we make less for same work that pays you MUCH more...JACK

Nope.

Get called a scab before, during, AND after!

Same work for three weeks? LOL! Do it for 10, 15, 30 years, then call me. BEAT IT SCAB.

Because they have no skills. They’ll never be an RPCD.

Doesnt take a rocket scientist to put packages in a vehicle and deliver..that take mad skills. You have pre loaders to load your trucks to deliver.

Same work? Do you think they ask us if we “want” to work long hours because someone is sick? Nope we worked the long hours all year. But I’m glad you think you’re doing the same job with the same requirements and the same treatment.

Just enjoy the ride. We’re all tired now. Let’s pick this thread up again next month when we all are picking vacations.

Ooh. Sorry about that

So...all brown truck drivers would much rather be

I am not discrediting you for not working long hours, I understand it is a demanding job. So if you would like to not work as long, is a PVD a good thing during peak than?

Is the company saving money if the pvd is doing 8 stops an hour?

Ultimately, it’s not for me to decide, but in my opinion Absolutely not, I’ve worked 11 hours almost every day this peak. Doesn’t bother me a bit, but if some people don’t like it, that’s their right, they do it every day too, everyone’s different.

Doubtful and most of the PVD drivers here were let go over a week ago.

Say what? Brown drivers?

 

[542thruNthru]

As a PVD, i have worked peak for the last 4 years...this will be my last. The new contract has killed the cash cow for PVDs. Today all PVDs were asked if they wanted to work longer hours because there was multiple sick call ins. I understand that brown trk drivers want as much OT as they can get, but if they bitch because they are overworked, where is the balance point to keep everyone happy?

 

[PVDKGFK]

My typical day is 100 stops with about 180 packages. I Unload 6 routes, into stoage units by sort numbers onto shelves. After unload, I usually do my route within 4 hours...pretty sure thats more the 8 stops/hr
