Too many hours

[Wally]

Since this year started I've been working a average of 11-12 hours. I swing drive and always manage to have more work than the regular driver. When I happen to get done early I'm always sent to help. What can I do to help me get in early? Trust when I say that there's is no taking with the supervisor and managers and my hub. There only answer is " work as instructed" and "quit if you don't like your job".

Taking full lunch, right? Breaking off, and back on, for lunch plus a hours time sure can put a dent in how much you can do.

Can't run straight air any more in an Orion center. Unless you're really heavy on air in which case Orion will have you run straight or almost straight air.

Touchè, my center didn't bother with Orion, it's too much of a city type center is what we were told.

Why can't you run straight air with Orion? Even if you run straight air you'd still hit your 85%. I think it would be fun to screw with them on Orion. I always loved sticking it to the man.

You certainly can run straight air with Orion with the exception maybe of the first stop compliance. It's not hard. When I'm bricked out and the first stop listed is buried, I just tell them it won't be my first stop so they have that info for the conference call spanking.

First stop I would comply with would have a 1030 commit time. Haha

Let me guess..... despite the heavy dispatches your on car has to go down the seniority list to see who all wants off?

They don't let new drivers go home if they're done 6-630. That dreaded green light appears and you get a phone number.

Your low seniority, thats part of this game. IF you stick around one day the newer guys will be helping you

Although, the pm dispatching has gone way down with orion

In our center they run you out a new board for the route you are taking stops off of so it doesn't affect trace. Wish I was kidding...

Sure that's saving a ton of miles.



Y can't this place use a little common sense.

The way they have been doing it is having air drivers take stops off drivers. So they send them out with 2 or 3 DIADs. If they are having another FT driver take stops off someone they will give them a 4th DIAD and have the air guys meet up with the driver to hand it off.

 

[Foamer Pyle]

You're being paid, correct?

What kind of a response is that? You sound like management. This company doesn't care about anyone, not even their own.

But who runs the diads out?

Are the air drivers delivering ground?

That's my question.

Sounds like some shady poop going down in @FrigidPTSup's center.

Sounds like a center manager without the balls to say I'm putting more routes in.

It's a response coming from a guy who likes making effing money, the only reason I go to work.

I've been driving for 1.5 years and only one guy has been hired that stuck with it since then.

Bid driver got hurt on the route I'm doing. The cover that took over for him got hurt on same route...

So now I'm on the route. It's going out with 30-50 more stops than what the bid driver was doing.

I'm following ORION 100%, dropping airs. Out until almost 10pm every night, last night I was over 10.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

And Orion threw me a nice $50 money shot tonight lol Cha ching!

One stop at a time, take all the cheese and stack it in a corner. One day you'll look over and give this place the deuces

Yep, you nailed it.

Air drivers shuttle the DIADs if they are going between two FT drivers. Otherwise they take the DIADs and take ground off the FTers. Been doing it a day or two a week for the last month or so.
