That explains it. Your start day moves all the time. They have to input your flw for every start day. Honestly for the rotating programs in our DC, they don't have an assigned flw. They get what ever the optimizer spits out.

Not complaining about flw at all, just how I'm ending with 8hrs left and no work on go home day. I can average 380 for 5 days, then go home day is $85 which drops my adp to 320 since it's figured on 6 days. Should be at most a 5.5/3

Anyone who works a schedule other than a 5 on and 2 off will have a harder time maintaining a higher ADP because they are taking more days off. It drops even more when your go home date results in being sent home early, thus reducing the total earnings for the days scheduled to work. If you work a 5 on and 2 off schedule, but are going home early on your 5th day on a regular basis, you may also see your ADP drop off, depending on what your overall earnings were for the entire 5 days. Extending your 5 on and 2 off work week into a 6th work day can increase your ADP due to more days worked and less time off. Anything that can increase your total earnings in a 12 week period will help raise your ADP.
For every $100 you earn above/below your current ADP on a given day, it will only raise/lower your ADP by $1.67. This is based on 60 work days (5 out of 7 days) out of a 12 week rolling average ($100 divided by 60 days = $1.67 rounded up). Quarterly safety bonus checks are good at increasing your ADP up to about $15 per day, depending on how productive your quarter was.Last edited: Apr 14, 2017

I go by what my ADP has been regardless of what anyone is saying. If someone else's ADP is different, so what. It is my ADP that only matters to me.truckdriver31, Ironhead2542 and Woodenleg Thank this. -
I'm thinking about going back to 5/2. I've never had all this time off before on my 6/3. I don't know, I'm not too excited about sharing 2 different trucks, (guy I follow can be a bit messy) the cut in pay is also a factor. I think maybe a 5/2 5/3 might be better. I've never had all this extra time off with this pto also. I felt extremely lucky to get on it to begin with, but after 26yrs of working all the time it's just hard to get used to, plus I actually love my job, and if I need the time off, it's there for the asking. I guess I'm just asking for some veteran Wal-Mart driver's opinions. I know it also comes down to my specific needs and wants. I know at least with a 5/2 5/3 I'd get the revolving weekend in. I don't know, maybe I'm already spoiled. Chime in guys, I respect your opinion.

As for switching from a 6/3 to a 5/2 5/3, I can understand. I actually like the 5/2 5/3 better than either a 5/2 or 6/3. You never need to worry about going over on your 70 hours (on a 5/2 or 5/2 5/3). The actual days off are pretty good for anyone who is not at the top of the seniority list since you get 3 full weekends off per quarter and at least one of the 2 weekend days off 8 out of every 16 weeks. With the new PTO rules and all the extra time off that can be earned, you can take an extra day off a few times a month if needed. What I did not like about the 6/3, even though I was never on that program, was the amount of hours available to run if you max out your hours for the first 5 days. For guys who live up to a few hundred miles from the DC, the 6/3 works good because they can finish early on their 6th day and still be home for dinner.
Enjoy the time off while you can now. When it starts getting busy and the weather gets much hotter, you may be wanting those extra days off to enjoy a few cold ones and some BBQ!Ironhead2542 Thanks this.
