[QUOTE="upsdawg, post: 147418, member: 2020"] Before you accept a job at UPS, hopefully you know that it is a demanding job---hard work for good pay and excellent pay for a financially sound company!! Now that it is mandatory to "Stop" for lunch everyone is getting home later...miss those days when you could work through/or take a short lunch and get home earlier than norm! P/T folks will never understand what a driver goes through day after day--you work until all the pkgs get delivered--sometimes it's 9--sometmes it more.I used to load my own pkg car--come in at 6a.m. and get off at 7:00pm---those 12 hour days were exhausting--money was good and definitely missed the wife and kids-----but one of the reasons I went to work for UPS was to have weekends off!! Regarding hours in Florida and elsewhere-----longer hours are cheaper for UPS than adding additional drivers---it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know why UPS won't put on an additional driver(and start paying the union $1000 a month for health & welfare??) and there is no flexibility for adding a PT driver to make pick ups to take the pressure off the FT drivers.
