Do any of you guys see too much workforce and not enough work? Lots of new hires, workload has not increased.
Absolutely. I feel like something is on the horizon. They've been putting the people in place for about the last 8 months. On top of that adding on to several terminals, several terminals opening or in construction. Waiting to see what exactly it is that is on that horizon. Too bad the build up involves starving some drivers.
Think about this guys.....this is far bigger than adding a customer or two. Every terminal has hired people, too many people. In order to keep all these people working, there has to be something bigger on the horizon. Gaining a customer like ULine would benefit some, but not generate the kind of work to hire 6-8 people per 227 terminals. They are either cutting hours back to 40, or a huge acquisition is in the works. My .02
Omg you must be new, OD has always over hired before summer. Every summer we have massive amounts of drivers who get sick on fridays and Mondays when we need them most. Another group always gets sick and goes on leave for 3 months. They’re covering their hind end this year like every to prepare for the growth.
You lose all credibility if you even say the word amazon be

I’m not new. If you have 10 drivers, and you have work for 6, why hire 6 more? Doesn’t stir the kool-aid...

That's designed to keep overtime down. More drivers = less OT per driver.Do any of you guys see too much workforce and not enough work? Lots of new hires, workload has not increased.
My guess is they have heard the roar of the time and a half crowd and will start paying OT after 45-50
