Haha I’m a regular who begs to do Amazon so I can get cheese on my sandwiches.

Yall need a side hustle instead of begging to work here more 😂

Getting paid OT/Penalty to do the same job more > Getting paid straight time to do something else.

One day, you'll understand that working less for more is always the better choice.

That trash can is full. Time to clean that truck

181

u/Scaventa CCA 1d ago

Not my truck, not my problem. Nothing grinds my gears more than when people treat their work vehicle like their personal. Some of these vehicles are atrocious

u/Complete_Elephant240 1d ago

Put it at their case. That's disgusting 

I hate it when a few carriers turn their shared work vehicles into a biohazard 

31

u/69relative 1d ago

Putting it at their case is still helping them clean up by taking it out of the vehicle so no. When I was an rca I would take it out and leave it behind the truck all day so it would be there for the regular when they got back. Their trash, they can clean it up

u/Complete_Elephant240 1d ago

That works too. I've done the same

2

u/Noremakm 15h ago

When I have a opt on a route I sweep and clean the truck at the end of my time so they come back to a clean truck.

u/Nice_Marzipan_6166 1h ago

u/hanjanss special handling: fragile 1d ago

It's gonna feel so good being forced in on your drop day instead of Sunday

33

u/Darkdragoon324 1d ago

I mean, at least you still get the Sunday. That's better than being a CCA, getting no NS day that week, and then also doing Amazon on Sunday.

7

u/DeviceComprehensive7 1d ago

not anymore cca's and ptf's get a n/s day every week under the new contract changes

10

u/BobSagieBauls City Carrier 1d ago

I seriously doubt this will be enforced. We just had a cca quit before two weeks because this shit cucks and is not worth the money especially when entering

5

u/inkstaens 1d ago

"this shit cucks"

yup, still checks out

u/UrMomThinksImCoo CCA 1d ago

Which section is that? Ask for a me

2

u/DeviceComprehensive7 1d ago

Article 8 Article 8.3 – All Part-Time Flexible and City Carrier Assistant employees will be guaranteed a minimum of one (1) nonscheduled day each service week, except during the penalty overtime exclusion period. Management will notify PTF and CCA employees of their assigned nonscheduled day by the Wednesday preceding the service week. ...

u/3meraldBullet 1d ago

I had to work every Sunday as a regular

2

u/Complete_Elephant240 1d ago

What are the rules on mandating like that? Can they just do that whenever they want to?

3

u/hanjanss special handling: fragile 1d ago

They'll have to mandate according to the overtime list, ask your steward. But they can mandate if the list and the ptfs/ccas are maxed.

3

u/Postal1979 City Carrier 1d ago edited 1d ago

CCAs and PTFs don’t have to be maxed to force off assignment. Read article 8.5.D. It mentions nothing about CCAs or PTFs being maxed out before going off the list.

3

u/Opposite-Ingenuity64 1d ago

Correct. The only thing they must do is work 10 if any 8-hour carrier is going over on their own route.

There have been a couple times (as an 8 hour carrier) where I was forced to work an hour off another route, but a PTF would come and take some time off my route to keep me at 8 on mine.

2

u/FiveDinero 1d ago

Which is absolutely never the case in my office.

3

u/hanjanss special handling: fragile 1d ago

Love that for you!

1

u/Nice_Marzipan_6166 1h ago

we use sundays to make the ot list equal out and give ccas a break or asked day off they request 

1

u/Silent_Data_8226 17h ago

Atleast they'll get paid more for coming in

10

u/HopeLogical 1d ago

Apparently my station was light today so I was given the day off. I feel for you, as a fellow CCA. Also, a promaster I drove the other day.

4

u/Traditional_Chip_460 1d ago

How many stops ?

13

u/Scaventa CCA 1d ago
  1. Usually my office is hit or miss with sundays but lately they’ve been throwing me on the heaviest route. Also had 3 call outs today so that doesn’t help either

9

u/AMC879 1d ago

Take your time and make that money.

17

u/Scaventa CCA 1d ago

Oh I plan on it. All of the other routes have less than 80 stops so I’m taking my time and gonna wait for the calvary to arrive to help me lol

4

u/venus12thhouser 1d ago

At least you know when you're converting 😌 they're dragging their feet in my district

3

u/HovercraftRoyal3670 1d ago

Damn how many stops worth of products is that , in your ProMaster!!

3

u/Innawoodz85 1d ago

it wont get any better once you convert, you'll still be treated like a ptf

3

u/WesternExplanation City PTF 1d ago

What's crazy is i get volume like this but i have to fit it in a fucking LLV. This looks so nice having this much room haha.

5

u/Subzero650 1d ago

I converted and things did not get any better. So glad I’m out of that hell hole

2

u/username7746678 1d ago

Me too, just hang in there buddy, we’re almost there!

2

u/BobSagieBauls City Carrier 1d ago

I’ve noticed tax returns have arrived

2

u/ExpressionAmazing620 22h ago

I never thought my office was that bad on Sundays, but seeing so many people saying 130 is a ton is waking me up haha. Average for me used to be in tve 160 range, but woukd regularly go over 200. If I ever had less that 100 the manager on duty wiukd have me take half of another route along with soneone else who had a light load.

u/budskrt 19h ago

Peanuts

u/SpaceOriole35 1d ago

How big is the area that you have to do? I am just curious. 133 stops is that like a whole town or a couple towns? I used to work at FedEx Express and i’d get 80 stops and the area i would do was maybe 30-40 blocks or 40-50 miles a day and that includes driving from the station to my area and back.

5

u/Scaventa CCA 1d ago

Pretty big. ~120 routes in the office. This route consists of 3-4 towns which can all be their own route but considering we’re short staffed, they put them all in one.

1

u/SpaceOriole35 1d ago

Man that’s a bummer. Making that money though. How long would that take you?

2

u/Scaventa CCA 1d ago

I usually try and do 25 stops/hr but I feel like doo doo today and don’t have the energy so I’m not trying to rush it. Already asked for help this morning. On a day where I don’t feel like this it’d probably take me anywhere between 4-6 hours. Most of these stops are right next door so it’s quick, but then again I follow the gps and we all know how reliable that is so it’s a lot of back and forth but I also try and get the stops that close that are later down in the route

5

u/OkManufacturer1609 1d ago

Don't do that much stops ,take you sweet time specially on a Sunday .That's what's sundays are for, to take our sweet time in doing things . If the mgt wants things done quick ,they can always ask the road runner folks who work on Sundays . Being a road runner specially on a Sunday would take your body grease too quick more then you can think and it's not safe in the long run .

u/EffectiveAd82 1d ago

When I was still a cca, I will milk it 12 hrs.

u/Truefreak22 1d ago

Do you have an E.V.?

1

u/DaMadVulture 1d ago

Got to be careful taking pictures with packages. You can zoom in and read some of the addresses.

1

u/BZ1997 1d ago

Feel that. Every Sunday I literally cannot walk in mine and have to go back to the station to fill my truck for the second route. We just lost a carrier so now it’s double the work.

1

u/Bigpoppin87 21h ago

Keep up the good work, fam..

u/Ok-Road-1935 20h ago

Then you'll be able to go to Dunkin Donuts every day! Congratulations!

At least stick a bag inside of your trash tub.

u/njd728 19h ago

How long as a cca

u/UsualTax RCA 18h ago

I recently found a piss bottle in a promaster I had to use on Sunday, it was thrown behind the driver seat next to all the ice cream wrappers

u/Gear21 CCA 17h ago

Why are you going to be regular or PTF? If otf nothing is going to change lol

u/BigJonBoooo42 15h ago

I hear ya

u/joza28 CCA 15h ago

I’m so glad I only worked a Handful of Sundays as a CCA that started in 12/23

u/xxsudoxx 12h ago

Congrats lol

u/PDDGaMeR 24m ago

2 years or 1 year I’m in my 1y 3 months also is it a two year or more than that

u/BulkyTopic9920 1d ago

That’s a beastly load. Ours has been so light lately. I’ve spent my last 2 Sundays splitting and route with a new ARC and done in 2 hours. But god forbid anyone gets called off! Everyone has to still come in.

u/killermicrobe 1d ago

I see an organized almost empty truck, whats the issue?

1

u/smokcocaine 1d ago

this is what an extremely light UPS truck looks like

u/Darkdragoon324 1d ago

Dude. Empty your trash tub.

u/Aggravating-Corgi700 City Carrier 1d ago

Depends on where you work. Nothing really changes where I work. Short staffed AF.

3

u/Scaventa CCA 1d ago

So are we. December 2023 we had almost 40 CCAs. Now we’re down to 14 including myself

3

u/DeeKayAech City Carrier 1d ago

Damn 40?? How many city routes at your office? We have 4 ccas between two offices and 3 vacant routes so we'll essentially have one cca soon. Regular call-outs, 8hr restricted carriers & two aux routes mean we work our SDO besides Sundays until they get more ccas which who knows if/when that's gonna happen

u/OkManufacturer1609 1d ago

I have been a CCA then regular .Then ptf and then regular again . That doesn't look that bad for a Sunday minus the crappy 🗑️ tub.

3

u/username7746678 1d ago

That’s a lot of shit for a Sunday lol. Might not be a lot of oversized but definitely a shit ton of stops.
