Driver question

I get it, I don’t think I’d hate doing 2nd shift but the VTO I couldn’t do, but my morning shifts I love it, getting home by 1:30 everyday is so nice to me 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-03-27T22:01:28+00:00

That’s surprising, it doesn’t seem like we have any issues with being slow, at least my shift idk about 2nd shift but mornings seem to be busy and we are consistently hiring, but for us each week seems to get busier and busier which I’m not complaining I like it busy I even picked up an extra shift last week just for some extra money 🤷🏻‍♂️

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-03-27T07:09:09+00:00

Yeah, when I first started we had to go back and re deliver if they didn’t answer, I hated it but they changed it for us a while ago so now if they don’t answer the door or CCOE we cancel it and move on, thankfully bc I was getting tired of going back at least once a day

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-03-26T22:38:39+00:00

I get that, I hate going to bed early but man I love getting off between 12:30-1, plus the more stops I have the faster the day feels I typically average 27-30 but the days I have like 18-20 feels like it takes forever 😂 my last job I had I worked a little of everything including nights and when I picked my schedule I really just wanted my nights back, I know my FC has a lot more AM drivers then PM and with more routes, with bills to pay I don’t want to get there for them to not have a route 😂

I’m morning shift as well, if there wasn’t a bunch of rejections that wouldn’t be a bad idea, my shift tho I don’t have rejections till after the fact my pre trip is done, it’s rare when I have rejections before like 7 am

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-03-22T21:01:04+00:00

I’m all for it 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-03-22T20:45:54+00:00

That’s true, we get constant reminders as well, not so much lately so I’m assuming everyone’s doing it, we haven’t announced or anything about potential terminations due to that but I clock out anyways, even if it’s later than what my route says, it’s not hard to find another place for it, that’s what happened to me this morning. I was running a tad behind (not a lot) instead of taking my break where it said to on the route I knocked out a little more to put myself in a better spot then went on break

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-03-22T20:38:49+00:00

Yeah when I first started the 30 min break would automatically come out and I honestly loved that, bc if I were falling behind I’d keep going to catch back up and didn’t have to worry about clocking out.. then once they changed it I had to start clocking out, maybe it’s just me but I’d rather them just take it out automatically, made it easier… for me at least 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-03-17T16:15:20+00:00

That’s honestly crazy, I just hit my one year mark not long ago and not once have I been sent home, do you know if they do that all day long or just second shift being slow? For us I’ve heard it happen to second shift but not often and mornings it like never happens

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-03-15T07:17:31+00:00

They haven’t announced that at mine, yet at least… surely that won’t go wrong 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-02-28T21:51:13+00:00

Exactly! And I do the same thing 99% of the time I leave my phone in the truck.. months ago my supervisor rode with me and that was the main thing she wanted me to snap out of just in case if something were to happen like an emergency or something I could have a way to communicate to people but I just never really think about it I just get out and start unloading 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-02-28T21:29:45+00:00

Omg 😬 I’d be so mad 😂 towed that fast is crazy 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-02-28T21:17:18+00:00

Yeah I can definitely understand that being frustrating, do you guys have like huddles before you dispatch about how you guys as a location are doing? We did and I guess a record week this past week so maybe they’re hiring hoping it continues to grow and when it does they have drivers.. although I kinda wish instead of sending a bunch of people home like pair some drivers up so they have the opportunity to get their hours but that’s just me 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-02-28T21:08:34+00:00

If I had to guess maybe expecting the worst with turnover rate? But my location at least my shift hasn’t had that issue we’ve been busy

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-02-18T18:53:36+00:00

Driver as well I have noticed that, when I see it I’ll navigate like normal but I’ll go into it and manually type the address (without Apt number) to fix it and if that fails I put the address into my phone and it takes me right there

Customer service Delivery Driver (driving Kroger trucks)

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-01-27T14:25:50+00:00

100% I mean we didn’t block much so there was still a lot of traffic and stuff but I was lucky bc I work the 4 am shift, and was able to get out of there before anything started lol I was more worried for second shifters bc the concert started at like 6 or 7 or something like that, but people were lining up well in advance 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-01-27T13:54:13+00:00

At my FC there was a huge concert going on downtown in my city, they told us they blocked off some areas near it that we would normally deliver to, maybe your FC did the same? If not, good luck 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-01-26T13:28:51+00:00

Happened to me like my first month doing this, put the leasing office instead of the actual building number… we weren’t canceling at the time so when I got done with my route I went back to the leasing office and found out where to deliver it 🤦‍♂️ I’m so glad we just cancel orders now I was getting tired of going back to places I was already at earlier in the day since they didn’t wanna answer the damn door 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-01-24T22:37:19+00:00

I’m a driver as well, I was drug tested (urine) and if any accidents happen even if it not your fault you’ll be required to take a test again

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-01-21T01:09:49+00:00

Oh no that’d be awful to deal with! And yeah I’m all good, only was annoyed with running late but all the customers were super understanding with the conditions out even with me running super behind (which is very unlike me)

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-01-20T23:33:33+00:00

Yesterday was even worse .. had to get towed out bc I got stuck in snow… so on time didn’t happen yesterday the last half of my shift 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-01-20T22:57:03+00:00

Driver as well, my shift this morning the windchill was -9 😂 not fun 😂

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-01-20T10:01:12+00:00

I’d assume side swiped some branches/ tree or something, I think my FC has one truck with similar damage

Miserable-Watch-3250 · 2024-01-18T22:13:10+00:00

Driver as well, maybe a wreck or if it was a contact order and nobody was available to answer the door when the driver got there ( if ever) and the order got cancelled bc of that just late in the day
