[QUOTE="kingOFchester, post: 1216209, member: 11246"] 1) You get to load your truck. By loading your own truck you completely eliminate the scavenger hunt that most of us experience day in and day out. 2) As we all know standards differ between centers, hubs and areas of the country. 3) Some math for Dave to accuse me of doing wrong. You said 8 hours of OT. Assuming you did not have guarantee and worked 5 days, that would mean you worked 48 hours. 2.78 of bonus means that you completed the weeks work in about 5 and half % better then what UPS says it should of taken you. I easily loose over 15% of my time looking for packages that are either not there, on the wrong shelf, thrown on the floor on the opposite side and end of the truck just because that is where the loader found space, returning to stops after I find the missing package, meeting other drivers to pickup missloads (no time allowance for that) and also having my bulk stops blocked by irregs even tho there is more space forward of the bulk. Now I did NOT calculate in your "on road time" vs your load time, so I DO understand the numbers are skewed a bit do to not knowing your load/sort time. So this would change the percentages. Want to be clear up front before our resident know it all steps in. I respect your decision not to be part of the Union, but I would never paint UPS with a broad brush. I have to learn new rules and throw other rules out the window every time I get a new center manager. [/QUOTE]
