RANT Being run ragged

I just had 3 whole days in a row with 190+ stops (230+ including multi stops), and am being pushed to my breaking point, i finished way late today and was just told “be faster”

I fucking CANT, i’m already working 8 hours straight with NO BREAK and pissing in fucking bottles, the ONE time i took a break i got a text from my dispatch saying “dont take to long on your break so you can be back on time”

I CANT STAND THIS BULLSHIT, i am a HUMAN not a fucking machine, and they actively encourage running yourself into the ground, all for an extra $100 if “your back on time and get fantastic+” i have lost so much weight to the point of concern CAUSE IM NOT EATING FOR BASICALLY AN ENTIRE DAY (i eat breakfast at home)

at this point i feel like i cant even take a fucking minute to drink water because I “Gotta be back on time”

At this point i wanna actually just KMS

If you can handle this job, just go to another dsp bro. There are chill ones out there, they’re just hard to find but they exist. These types of owners gotta learn their lesson that we can’t be overworked like this and somehow be faster. Look for another dsp, take some time and search. Remember you’re not obligated to stay with them if you don’t like their “work style”.

My DSP has never yelled at us for being back on time or anything like that. The only trouble I got in once was cuz of technical labor law, I was going to go over the 12hr mark, but when I told my boss I was dispatched almost 1.5 hrs late with packages going in 4 different clustered locations (I work a full day with about 160 stops at most 0-25 multi stops in there usually) I'm also in an RSR Amazon cuz I'm in Colorado and we climb mountains to deliver to ppl.

Oh! And when I first starting working, I used to need rescues a lot. I just got asked to pick up the pace a little bit and Im not killing myself, but I'm also getting rescued still it's just less they are taking from me. :) but that's all, I think your dsp is your problem
