[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 626300, member: 14176"] I'm not using sarcasm when I say I don't sweat these stops because I also get paid by the hour. It is what it is and takes as long as it takes. I also have a family with children and enjoy getting home to them. The hours involved in holding the job as a UPS driver is nothing new. It's been this way for decades. We're off every weekend. We are awarded above average vacation time. In my region I can miss 6 days every 9 months. In my early years as a driver I stressed about stuff like this and felt I needed to be off in 8 hours. The more I ran, the more work I got. Since I backed off, it isn't as intensive on the days I deem necessary for an early out. The key is to make them few and far between. If they know your willing to take the time and a half, their less apt to pile on. I know I'm a little off topic, but saw a couple posts taking the usual tangent about why we need to hurry and shortcut the job to get home. Getting back on topic, it's never enjoyable and somewhat painful watching a maroon in action. It is however, in this case, a money maker. [/QUOTE]
