[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 465787, member: 12570"] Your theory holds true in a typical residential neighborhood but d is talking about those folks who live in the middle of nowhere. My center is a smaller one and many of the towns served have quite a few "chasers" that we do indeed lose money on. Delivering 20 pkgs directly to the Post Office is certainly cheaper for us than delivering those same 20 pkgs and putting 20-40 miles or more on the pkg car. It is nothing for some of our drivers to drive 2, 3, 4 or even 5 miles to deliver one pkg. (This was the idea behind rural remote which was a sound concept which was abused by mgt and used as a dispatch tool.) When you factor in all of the costs involved with delivering a pkg you would find that we lost money on that one. [/QUOTE]
