Message:: [QUOTE="Baron Von Jellybean, post: 11598962, member: 323758"]The OTR guys are definately treated like dirt; not right at all, especially since the Distribution Center depends on them for survival.The Food Lion drivers are treated better, though sometimes it doesn’t allways feel that way.As far as starting times, there are very few Mon-Fri shifts, even for the guys with a lot of seniority. Every week is different then the previous week as far as scheduled days off, and about every three weeks, everyone eventually gets a Saturday and Sunday off. Some weeks you will work 6 days in a row (with no overtime at all) and some weeks, you will work 3 days, get 1 day off, then 4 days, with 4 days off, etc. It’s kinda wierd but it allways works out that everyone works a 5 day work week, every week.The goal is to get as early of a shift as possible since all assigned runs usually are filled by early evening. The new guys usually start at 1-2 PM. You want to get at least 2 runs minimum per day, if not, then your’e not making much money.Starting at 1-2 PM can be ‘iffy’ because you might get a second run, or you might not, especially during the slower times.[/QUOTE]
