Lucky you.

 

[Ms.PacMan]

The only thing closed here, is banks and schools.

Pretty much a non-holiday.

They'll still cut a route for every bank that's closed

 

[ManInBrown]

Cut Cut Cut. I know in my center they sent out msgs to all the top drivers Friday asking if they wanted the day. I'm hoping to start they week off right with a nice 11 hour day

Our PDS is very good about keeping known closures off the cars. Our center manager then asks that we go through our cars before we leave to pull off any known closed that were not turned in. We are then told not to sheet any closed stops with 5 or more packages.

Then how are you to sheet those closed stops? Do you not sheet them?

They are brought back and scanned as known closed.

 

[Cementups]

You back to work?

Yup. Went back last Monday 2/8. Welcomed back with Orion. Yay! (sarcasm)

I also went back 2/8. Tuesday was a very long day and I was dragging butt when I got back home.

Was the first day back tough?
How much weight have you gained?

Well, you are getting old. This is a young man's game.

Sadly, 30 pounds in 5 months. First day wasn't so bad, except my feet were killing me. hadn't been in work shoes in a while. Got my gel inserts in and fixed the problem right quick. Otherwise, it's like riding a bike. Just get back on and start pedaling.

Congratulations, I guess. How does the shoulder feel?

I guarantee that Tuesday sucked for you last week. I hit nothing but snow on 83, 81 and 322. Nasty,

Shoulder/arm still is a little tender. I can do all aspects of my job, just hurts a little at times.

Tuesday wasn't too bad really. All the main roads were pretty clear but when I was on a back road to take the kids to daycare, I slid through the stop sign at the end of the street. Wasn't even going that fast but there must have been a little ice under the snow at that spot. Plus it was new blacktop which is usually pretty slippery anyway.

I deliver in rural WI. Presidents' Day doesn't exist except for the post office.

 

[jaker]

I just lose one bank I have and the temp will be around 80 tomorrow

 

[Lizzzow]

It is very rare to have late air on Monday as the bulk of it came in on Saturday.

Correct. I guess I was referring to wed thru fri. Seems in our center we can't get air to us in time once wed rolls around.

 

[Number24]

No.

 

[Scottyhawk]

3 inches of snow 1/4 inch of ice and then rain on top of that forcasted for today. Add in the cut routes and expanded route area should be fun times today

That makes way too much sense. You actually have a center manager who thinks and has common sense?

Exactly why I don't believe it. I was under the assumption that they don't get to make decisions anymore, well other than staffing.
