[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 380640, member: 4653"] I'm sorry, but I need to continue my talk about UPS. We have drivers complaining everyday about their job and their dispatch. Its OK to complain about the dispatch in my opinion. If you are 40 stops over dispatched then I think you have a "beef". If you are complaining to me about how much "the job stinks" or "there has to be a better way", I don't want to hear it. Now, if you are overdispatched on a daily basis then I think you have a legit reason to complain. In my center they have been overdispatching an entire town or 5 routes by 30-40 stops each day. Also, these are UPS' numbers not ours. 5 routes each at least 30 over what the dispatch computer says is our "max". Sometimes we get help, sometimes not. This is where I think we have a "legit" beef about the job. Its very difficult to do a route, day after day, week after week, that is dispacthed with 10-11 hrs. of work each day! There is two ways to approach this. One is to get mad, yell at your sup. or center manager, and then speed in the package car, take shortcuts through the methods, and endanger yourself and the public. I would advise against this. The 2nd way is to approach it a totally different way, which I think is the best and safest way. Don't rush, and at the same time never milk it. You are going to be working late and will be tired, don't jeopardize yourself and get into an accident or injury that could hurt you or an innocent party. Those last 30, follow the methods and get back in one piece. Just think of the money you will be making! Close to 43 bucks an hour for house calls! YOu hit 11 hours and now you made an extra 140 for the evening! It adds up and you must think of it this way. I do. UPS saves money because 2 routes don't go out. Thats fine with me as I gross an extra $750/ week with me. UPS saves money and I make money, its a great relationship! [/QUOTE]
