    Yes you can request any days off you need..as long you have the time off accrued and the days off you’re requesting doesn’t short the DC you’re working out of (most DC’s have a minimum number of drivers they have to have working each day, so as long as they have that # staffed, getting time off isn’t usually an issue…holidays being the exception.)

    Hello, I have onboarding in a week for the LaGrange DC and just wanted to see if anyone was on here that worked there. Curious for any insight on that location, how they do things and if they have any kind of an area they cover. Thanks for anyone that can shed some light!

    Curious to see what all gets raised, and by how much. Also, a geographic based raise? As a California driver, any additional pay to offset the ridiculous cost of living here would be appreciated.

    It needs to go to at least $.65...

    They really missed the boat, only raising unscheduled time a dollar an hour.
    That will only be about a hundred bucks in a year for me.

    We need at least a 10% raise to just stay even with last year, when you consider inflation.

    Anyways, Merry Christmas Everyone..
