It says ALL DRIVERS and Attendants

[yabba]

do we pick up our private school kids   or just go empty straight to school and wait

[OMG]

Shit, I hope I make it to my first school. Owen shut the fuel line down at the last Covid training and I wasn't able to fuel up. Yes, this will be interesting

[rc1790]

Should be interesting. No phone calls or emails. Only people on chat groups will know.

Are we getting there for the in time on our sheets or time we roll out the yard?

[Hammer2161]

According to the letter it says you must report at your assigned report time. So I am guessing whatever it was last year. If we can remember lol

[yabba]

talk about a chinese fire drill during the China virus...

[WigWag16]

Like do they want us getting to The yard at our report in  time
And going straight to the school. Like drop off time isn't till 8am lol so they want us at the school 2 hours early or we gonna leave the yard when we usually leave

[yabba]

parking all these buses near the schools is going to be fun.....   teachers take all the spots...  what is the reason for this...to make us earn the paycheck...   

[sbdriver1]

This is absolute bullshit that there was no phone calls or e mails and they expect everyone that doesn't start tomorrow to drop what they're doing and be at work.
What if someone is on vacation?

[Hammer2161]

Bullshit or not unfortunately this is the situation we are in. If anyone knows of anyone that might be in a position to not be on either of the Pioneer social media websites please try to reach out to them.

On the plus side we will probably all get paid 100% instead of 85% since they are making everyone report to the yard.

[WigWag16]

I don't mind at all I wasn't starting till Tuesday but would just like to know what sense this makes
Lol

IF YOUR SCHOOL IS GETTING SERVICE TOMORROW, DO YOUR RUN!

Ernie's "Alert" message was intended for those who were not already called to come in to work Monday to do their runs.

[OMG]

So, let me get this straight. My school doesn't start until the 29th, I don't know what changes were made to the run if any, and they want me to come in tomorrow to get 100% pay instead of 85%? I just want to know.

[Hammer2161]

OMG I doubt anyone has that answer. For some reason OPT found it necessary to further complicate the start to this school year.

YES!

[hideout]

   Buzz plain and simple if you have General Ed and were schd. to start on 9-29-20 has that changed and are we now to report tomorrow?

[WigWag16]

Yes we go to the yard for our report time and go straight to the school

[yabba]

Who's on first

[Buzz]

PLAIN AND SIMPLE: Everybody is to come in on their report time tomorrow. EVERYBODY.

[Buzz]

Buzz here's the thing. My sheet says 6am. When I took over this run last year my first pick
Up was 7:35 and I was told I could come in at 7:10. So although my sheet says 6am do I show up at 7:10 to get to the school by 8 as usual?  Not 6am, or do they want me there at 6am and leave at 7:10-35 to be at the school for 8

Happened to be on the phone with Ernie while I was reading your post. He says go by the time on your run sheet ... which, apparently for you, is 6 a.m.

[Buzz]

     Is this for General Ed drivers also. I thought GE was starting on 9-29-20?

ALL drivers.

[Buzz]

Who's on first

As far as OPT goes, every position is covered by "I don't know."   

[Buzz]

Somebody forgot to tell de Blasio he's on furlough.
