Who else is working this Saturday?

[Brownslave688]

Gravy is correct but it doesn't make sense to me to work a Saturday while on the list when I could easily get those hours during the week without giving up half the weekend.
.

Sometimes my wife is in call and works all day Saturday.

Sometimes my wife is in call and works all day Saturday.

I have volunteered for numerous Saturdays. But not while on the 9.5 list. I might get off it when the time changes and we won't have to work in the dark. But I usually get fed up with the long hours in the heat.

Yeah there's about 4-5 months out of the year that for the most part I don't mind the 11 hour days.

 

[McGee]

Yup, back and punched out by 12:15.

 

[Bottom rung]

HAHAHA Yeah! But I wasn't crying about it. I even mentioned how that was the first time I've ever been laid off that much.... Our center manager also mentioned this week at a PCM that fedex was just approved to put in a 5 million dollar hub in our city. He said last time that happened in the state, 3 routes got cut and a lot of drivers got laid off

You can't build much with five million, typical fear monger.

There is no way that number is right. 5 million would be a very small center.

IDK maybe I heard it wrong?

 

[JL 0513]

I worked today. 30 spread out stops, 4 of the easiest hours of the week.

How you been?

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

Had half the stops I usually do on Saturdays because they used so many extra drivers. There was really no need for them to force people to work, especially with the relaxed commit times.

 

[NonDeliverOtherMissed]

They typically don't ask full time drivers to work Saturdays because they have to pay them ground rate, as opposed to part time covers they can get away with paying air rate. But still, if you worked 40 hrs and all 5 days mon-fri then Saturday is still time and a half air rate which is over $30 an hr for gravy work.

How you been?

HANGING IN THERE, IVE. HOW ARE YOU, GUMBY LEGEND???

Good my brother

 

[PT Car Washer]

My building planned on using 15 drivers but volume didn't come in like they thought. Used 7 with 25 to 30 stops a piece. I delivered and did pick ups on top of a 40 hour week so all 9.5 hours of OT. Also used EDD and ORION this Saturday. Waste of time.

 

[Rack em]

You needed EDD for 30 stops? They just let us set our car up and go. It's a waste of time to use EDD for such few stops IMO

 

[UPSjedi41]

They asked. I said no. They begged. I said no.

Needed EDD for 30 stops? No. Forced to use EDD and ORION by higher. Big waste of time. I suppose now we will have to do ADD CUTS for 5 stops to balance out the areas.

That happened here... I haven't worked this many hours since I was a full time college student holding down three jobs.
