Senior guys (with a heart) do it to open a slot for those not working.Who does that? Those guys better start coming in and jumping on a forklift, even if it's for just 6 hours

It's good for the bottom guys (to get to work) & good for the top guys to get time off without sacrificing vacation days. Win/win.
Plenty of reasons a driver would want the option.Who does that? Those guys better start coming in and jumping on a forklift, even if it's for just 6 hours
Now keep it under your hat that you volunteered for time offPl
Plenty of reasons a driver would want the option.
Need a day off for whatever. Get eyes checked, teeth cleaned, or just a day to catch up around the house without burning vaca time.
Also, we had quite a few drivers who were married to very financially successful women. Basically here for the ins, snd a little extra $. They are content to never come to work.
Funny you should ask. End of day today I was at 1/4 tank. Tired after 8 and 2 hrs overtime I said "F it" I'll fill it in the morning.do you fuel your city tractor every day like a couple of our
drivers regardless if you used nill on your 75 miles you put on
the same run every day ? Yep , 40 minutes every day , don't
forget to spend 20 minutes hiding in the bathroom...
35+5=40
That is part of the problem here. To many willing to work part time. The company expects it of "everyone". I'm the bread winner in our household. If folks want to work part time they should go find one and quit holding up a full time slot a jr. guy who wants to work full time could use imho.Pl

Love you like a Brother Swamp .. but my family is first. And one of those bottom guy's will screw you over in a heart beat just to get bumped up a slot.Senior guys (with a heart) do it to open a slot for those not working.

True. But back then they didn't over hired. I remember also we couldn't have two guys on vacation at the same time.I know this will cause a disturbance in the force and ruffle some feathers, but this wasn’t such a huge issue at Viking. The extra board was a wheel. When times were good nobody cared. When times weren’t, the pain was shared, nobody was starved out.

He said extra board was on a wagon wheel. They just have a beater pickupBut you must remember, a wheel board makes it inconvenient for us high seniority drivers to make payments on our new P U trucks.
This has to be the stupidest comment I have seen. So senior guys should work or find a part time job? Or should junior guys quit and find a job with guaranteed hours? CC Day is your choice, if it is offered, no one makes you take one.That is part of the problem here. To many willing to work part time. The company expects it of "everyone".

Yeah, I thought Mr. Pruitt shoulda thought first before writing that one down too. But I don’t think he’s a mean guy or wishes ill will on senior guys. I’m gonna take liberty and write what he meant to say:This has to be the stupidest comment I have seen.
Half of our Extra Board are working the dock this week. Don't other centers have that option when it's slow?Who does that? Those guys better start coming in and jumping on a forklift, even if it's for just 6 hours
