[QUOTE="Jackburton, post: 2393300, member: 34538"] Yesterday was a dumpster fire. Pick ups were a major issue, as expected, not enough routes to cover them all by commit times. Another thing that really screwed people was major cutting that went on vs previous Monday's while in testing phase. Yesterday routes were cut, areas expanded, and businesses that don't go out on Saturday sprinkled all through Monday's overextended routes. Commercial stops got missed, drivers came in late, and those senior drivers that volunteered last Saturday are giving them the finger going forward. This only complicates the problem as the new hires aren't as good as the regular guys in their respective areas. Tuesday-Saturday is also an issue as now drivers are feeling the pinch, as predicted, those that would go home now have bills to pay so the new hires get laid off. Already have two new hires quitting as they aren't getting the hours they were promised. Another thing is they are only being paid off the street pay and were "promised" $29/hr according to them. A lot of the service/hours issues will be smoothed over as peak starts, but god help low seniority drivers Jan-Feb next year, half our FT drivers won't be working. [/QUOTE]
