In my building there are drivers working the preload and they are volunteering for the extra hours. If they are forcing, they have to force from the bottom up and if you are forced, have to pay you driver's wage for any preload hours you are forced.

And every day last week except Monday I worked preload and had to drive a full route. I worked 59.7 hours. I like the OT. But would rather not work preload if I drive. It sucks going out after loading for 4+ hours.

No way I'd work preload and drive, it is unsafe, especially in this heat. If there is no work for you as a driver tell them you'll bump in on local sort. Safety.

There is no shortage at the current pay levels.

If you believe that I've got some ocean front property in Illinois I'll sell you.

We have very little turnover at our center.

Could it be you have a small operation? Just asking because I don't know. Company wide turnover in partime ranks is very high I'd guess. Hence the one year until benefits kick in. Ups probably did a study to figure out the vast majority don't stay that long. Just my opinion.

We average 24-28 routes on road each day.

Wow 20 routes, you know nothing about how ups truly runs.

It's been a while since I have been in a classroom but I'm pretty sure 24-28 is more than 20.

All women should be forced to wear white t shirts and only white t shirts all year.

That's barely 1/4 of what the smallest center in the hub I work at runs. I thought New York would have to put more routes out. It makes a little more sense now why you view things the way you do..

There is more to the state of NY than NYC. Much more.

Apparently not many routes though.

Apparently you have no idea what you are talking about.

Apparently you should worry about your own center.

Apparently you are a non-factor on this forum.

And you are the negative factor here...
always fighting and hatefully arrogant in your responses.
Sure sounds like New York Cityitis.

Meanwhile,
Our center runs 30-37 routes and the turnover rate of new part time preloaders is well above 50%. Worse than last year.
We have only a few loaders that want to retire as part time. Their pension is probably more secure and they probably want more of a family friendly life.

There. That sums up the solution pretty honestly.
Money talks even when the job is abusive.
That's why drivers rarely quit.
