i think you were in Q12...we dont cover Francis Lewis Blvd

some positive news , as small as it is. keep your heads up

Hi everyone, it's been months since I checked in on here and I came back to see that. Has anybody heard anything about a class sometime this year? I know nothing is gonna happen till it happens, but I'm just wondering if there's any new info.

In my 30 days in bronx 1, I was surplus one day. They transported me to bx12. To my pleasant surprise I was put on collection. WOW what a different world compared to Bx1!. It was such a nice and easy day! No running! No dumping! Just walking from house to house! It was my first experience of what it was like to stay out and not dump.

and why did Q8 become the first/only district that got hit with full GPS? BK18 has never dumped either (although it might be different there because of the history of that garage), and I don't think anyone has mentioned GPS at Q1 or Q9 (I could be wrong though)

I thought to save money they did away with gps at Q8. Can someone tell me if that is true.
Also there are other districts that have many who dont dump on shift, a couple in manhatton dont dump. In queens there is another district that dont dump i dont want to give the name because i think it is a bad idea to post any direct info on this board. But I will say this that district covers a very nice area. In brooklyn there is one district that wasnt named which has a couple of sections that dont dump but that district does do a lot of weight. Bk18 wont get gps because of its size too big and the cost would be too much.

We tell him we are both out of town and do not know the area, we will do our best. We were doing one side of the street and working like gentlemen not running lights or riding on the lip of the hopper. After lunch the super is out tailing us but he is trying to be secretive about it. Before our 10 min break the deputy chief is now out on our trail and telling us how to work! We step it up a little bit because we are both still on probation but we are not running.

Turns out the truck saved us! We had an old CM and the handles would get stuck when you finished cycling it so after the whole day of having the packer on the hydrolic system finally overheated! We gave back 10 lines of work and were covered since the truck legitmately went down! Worst out of town experience EVER!

To me this is bull. You dont know the area how can they expect you to dump let alone finish. Think of it this way you have 6 months to go before your probation is over then you dont have to worry about getting a complaint.

GPS is still going strong in Q8.
Don't worry about mentioning the districts that don't dump. No one will ever get in trouble for that. So name away.............
