I read a whole lot of negative horror stories on the BC. These range from harassment and unwarranted discipline, consistent 11 hour days, a lack of respect for drivers and employees in general etc etc. I must be one of the lucky ones on here that work at a "good" center.
Don't get me wrong its not all sunshine and fare ways but overall my experience at my center has not been awful. 9.5 list is honored and rarely violated, drivers are not written up and or fired frequently (generally just when needed crashes, consistent service issues etc) and dispatch, although idiotic at times, isn't awful. Besides the few routes with the late pick ups I would say our average in building time is around 1800 with a 830 start time.
Yes management can bust your balls and yes we don't get an "atta boy" ever, and yea they except near impossible compliance in orion, telematics and service but its not really that bad. Do your job and try your best and you are fine. I generally just interact with mgmt in the am to find out what route I'm running if they don't have a schedule posted as I am a cover driver.
I'm sure this varies from center to center. Maybe its a size thing as our hub only streets between 45-50 routes. Guess I'm a "lucky" one.
