My loader gave me four misloads today. I think I'll misload her Christmas tip.

I've only had 4 different preloaders between last week and this week so far, and only 4 misloads between them. Not bad, I think.

They will wait until 10:20 to send a message to use weather for late air and if you aren't done by 21:00 bring it in.

You called it. 10:25 got a message that corporate approved late air to be sheeted as severe weather.

 

[TooTechie]

It's Tuesday and we all know what the means. Heaviest part of the week. Godspeed.

Not here. Thus far during peak the dispatch on Tuesday has oddly been the lightest day of the week. Monday has been nasty and then Wed-Fri has increased each day to Friday being ridiculous. Not sure why, but that's been the pattern.

This ain't my first rodeo.

Preload done on time today. 845. Had 340 stops/550 pcs. Picked up 350. 131 miles. Punched @ 1945. Looks about the same tomorrow according to the "forecast". Same forecast that overestimated our building volume by 30K pcs yesterday, so who the hell knows.

More than yesterday but tad less than Monday.

They are offering pay for travel time and paid miles to go jump in BFE at my hub.

May have to go with out sleep for a day or two.

My loader gave me four misloads today. I think I'll misload her Christmas tip.

Unfortunately I'm not loading my normal three PC's so saying "My tip will effect your load quality come January" is no longer in effect.

Significant drop in volume today. Guessing the end of this week will be the "calm before the storm" next week.

Well for my center my prediction has been right. Heavy Monday then pretty light. Even cutting routes and offering some (me) days off.

Our center was down two trailers due to the snow storm. I expected to have my helper but didn't need him. Tomorrow will be heavier and then the fun starts next week.

I had 2.48 hours of guarantee pay on today's check.

 

[DriverMD]

Finished at 16:00 today. Not bad for my first peak driving. So far its been a lot better than last years mess.

 

[bottomups]

59.5 hours total last week.
Only 3.50 hours overtime so far this week through Thursday.
Guess they are taking mercy on this old fart and giving the stops to the young runners with the helpers!
Here's hoping this keeps up!

Good job but that sucks lol.

 

[joeboodog]

Finally got a helper yesterday. He was smart, coherent, quick, and able to follow instructions. I'll never see him again.

 

[watdaflock?]

Same as yesterday except my boss hooked me up with some Bob Evans this AM.

Scoooooore! Gotta love getting paid to eat pancakes and sausage!

 

[Brownslave688]

5 day weekend.

Word is Monday will be hell.

 

[watdaflock?]

Word is Monday will be hell.

Still have a 1AM scheduled start. Would not be surprised to get a text this weekend about going to Midnight or 30 after as the start time.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

Our preload center is buy us off with The Price Is Right-like raffles for having perfect attendance during peak.

Easy day today, 8.75 hours.
