DARREN'S ROUTE MAY CHANGE

There has been a lot of route drivers for Schwan's quitting. There has been 6 so far that I know of. One guy put in a two week notice a long time ago because he was commuting all the way from Minot to help the Harvey manager out until he found enough drivers to cover all the routes...that was two years ago and they guy had enough. Then a couple of people started and then quit right away. The guy Darren is staying with is getting married and has put applications in at other businesses and will be done when he finds something new. A guy that started a week before Darren quit to work at a buffalo processing plant with his wife so they have the same hours. The route driver for Devils Lake just put in his two weeks Monday because he didn't like the direction that the company was going and I am sure that guy has worked for Schwan's for at least 10 yrs and then our route driver put in a two week notice when he found out the Devils Lake guy was quitting.

So since they are getting severely understaffed really fast Darren's route may change. Instead of being down in Harvey, the boss is thinking of giving Darren the Rugby route. If Darren gets the Rugby route he will be home more often and has the opportunity to work 4 days one week and then 5 days the next week so he would get a 4 day weekend every other week which would be really cool if we wanted to go some where with the girls. Darren would also be able to leave a vehicle some where in Rugby and then when he's finished his route, he can drive the 15 minutes it takes to get from Rugby to our house and sleep at home instead of a hotel. We aren't 100% sure yet if it's going to happen but it sounds like there is a good chance of it. Then that way if someone new starts they can have the Harvey route and they will be home at night.

It will be nice to have my husband home some evenings during the week especially with my college classes starting in one month. We will have to see how everything goes.
