[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 318977, member: 9789"] I personally don't think non-management or management should have to work long hours. Consistently working 10 plus hours a day is not healthy for anyone. If you have to do a short stint for a definable period on time with some allowance for time off .... OK! Sometimes we have to do what is necessary. Not sure if everyone understands the cost of a driver. There is a break even point. It may be a protected secret but it is out there! Sometimes it is more cost effective to pay overtime than to add a driver. Each building is a little different based on the average driver wage and seniority. My guess it is somewhere around 10 hours. But that is only a guess! 1. additional driver & training costs 2. package car 3. additional building space to accomodate package car 4. benefits Other things to consider 5. need for additional loader 6. supervision 7. eventually you will have to increase the size of a building or add another one 8. more support for the operation 9. there is additional liability or risk associated with the above factors 10. Once you add a new building than you change the package distribution network and the configuration of driver routes. There is a lot to consider. I know it seems easy to add one or two drivers. Do that nationwide and see what happens!!!! I am sure I missed something. Feel free to add to it! The positive side of this is that the cost of adding a driver is not prohibitive... there is just a lot to consider!!!! [/QUOTE]
