Pretty much what he said too. Not that it matters much to a driver but he mentioned they essentially went more or less with a flat rate type deal on the repairs. If its true, that'd be a 100% dealbreaker for me if I were looking for a job.

 

They did the same to the drivers, they say they pay hourly, but then they dictate how many hours each run gets. Pays 6, takes 10, could take 18, same $$$$$.

Place is a ####ing JOKE!

 

Company I am doing some work for right now; the "health and wellness coordinator" is so fat she has to rest between words. If she weighs an ounce, she weighs 400 lbs.

 

Most of us know which days we are working so we just pick a run every day. If they call on my days off, it's overtime but I don't have to take it. The only ones on call are drivers on open board that cover extra runs and runs of drivers that are off. Once they get 4 days in, they don't have to answer the phone. We've been short drivers for 5 years now so usually the only time someone gets called in is for overtime. That's the way it is in Brampton. I don't know about the other distribution centres. Every centre has a different contract.

 

Doesn't Westcan have rear facing cameras to?

 

I believe so, also you are not allowed to talk on a phone at all while driving, even if you have a Bluetooth headset.

 

Yeah #### that non sense. People who never been In a truck coming up with rules amd regulations for it again I see. Wonder if these same people would let an eye doctor perform heart surgery on them, I mean after all there still a doctor right? That makes about as much sense ......

 

Completely illegal in Canada.

 

No cameras at Brower but you can’t use the phone at all. Can’t even use a CB.

 

What are you saying is completely illegal; not allowing people to use their cellphone?

The use of devices such as a cellphone or GPS via handsfree/one-touch is perfectly legal everywhere and so long as they are either mounted to the vehicle or are not accessed directly, e.g., cellphone via headset/earpiece or vehicle hardware; GPS so long as it is vehicle-mounted and you are not programming it while driving; CB/VHF radios, etc.

Company policies may differ.
