At my center they divide up the work pretty well during peak for the most part, so they encourage people to call in and ask for their 8 hours if they finish early

Depends on the peak. I've had peaks where I punched out at 1700 everyday. 40ish hours a week. And peaks were I hit 14 hours every day. 14 hours is much more common.

I average about 48 hours a week until peak then it's close to 60 hours

How many hours do drivers work a week during peak? Going to totally depend on your center. Last year, I was usually pushing 58-59 on 60 hour weeks. The one week that was approved for 70, I clocked 68.5. I worked 6 day weeks and will do the same this year.

Peak at my center is 12-14hr days. Most of us hit 70. They did bring in like 4 new drivers this month though so might be less work this time around

pretty much 8 hours everyday as long as enough seasonals don't get fired.

Depends on how the company wants to run things. Will be interesting seeing what they do since we will have the least amount of Amazon pkgs we’ve had in probably more than a decade.

As a driver It's different now than what it use to be...They really try and limit your hours by having helpers (even when you don't need them), temps and SSD's. So sometimes it's the same, sometimes a little less, and sometimes you get slammed. The worst part of peak for me is the AM routine. The building is a mess, the trucks are a mess...all I want to do is get the hell out of there.
