[QUOTE="Jones, post: 875358, member: 4805"] I've had similar thoughts kicking around in my head from time to time, I think from the company's standpoint it would make a lot of sense to run part time delivery routes. Most businesses want their stuff early, so you could have a 4-5 hour delivery shift in the morning that delivers [I]all[/I] the commercial volume, and then the afternoon/evening shifts would handle all resi's and pickups. I think it would mean the beginning of the end for full time hourly positions, but it would allow UPS to be much more competitive and profitable. I think the union would fight it tooth and nail. Or maybe they wouldn't, it's hard to tell with Hoffa. [/QUOTE]
