[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1163636, member: 33696"] it's working efficiently for the most part in HD, but not as well at Ground because of those pickup/delivery deadlines before the businesses close... Also, if we WAD or practice safe driving, we will lose out on our SPORH and hour hourly pay goes down... that's why some will not follow that "30 minute lunch break after 8 hours" rule & i already take "mini-breaks" during the day to scarf down some finger-food snack, switch my water bottle from my cooler, or relieve myself into a laundry detergent bottle you already know some will cheat the HOS times by inputting false start/end times, so that can be their Achilles Heel I saw the "writing on the wall" when i first joined this forum & was considering switching from green to orange, but after reading all that BS you have to deal with for almost similar pay (w/out bennies), i'll stay at team green a bit longer just because we aren't micro-managed throughout the day like you guys & gals are. [COLOR=#000000] i think it was a poor choice to go w/ those sprinters, sure they're saving on MPG, but the maintenance/parts of those Mercedes are substantially higher than the domestic GM/Ford vehicles... i did like them when one of the contractors first purchased the newer units (i never drove the 1st generation w/ the 5 cyl diesel engine) i now like the newer ford gas powered Utilimaster body stepvans that contractors are buying like hotcakes in my area. 6-8 mpg though is what i'm getting out of these E450 chassis while i'm close to 8-9 mpg on a budget rental GMC boxvan [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
