[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 873363, member: 4653"] I happen to believe this is true which makes UPS' business practices that much more mind-boggling. Just for a quick example the cutting of a route. It would make sense if you could just lay the driver off for the day but the contract states you have to find him 8 hours of work somewhere if he was told to report. So now he has to work in the hub making $31/hour for a job that pays $8.50/hour. Then, you are paying 5 drivers OT to deliver the work from the cut route. Just because the route is cut doesn't make the cost of that route magically disappear. Someone is going to be paid to move those packages and the miles must still be driven to do so. Yes, you save wear and tear on a vehicle for a day and maybe the to and from miles but I think that's it. To me this is nothing compared to the $31 bucks an hour you are paying the displaced driver for 8 hours to work in the hub. [/QUOTE]
