[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 4227255, member: 52145"] Many years ago when most feeder drivers were only working 45-50 hours a week I had a conversation with our DM about the future. She said that the goal was to have every feeder driver working as close to 60 hours as possible as it was cost efficient to have 2 drivers working 60 hours a week rather than 3 drivers working 40 hours a week. Workman's comp expenses among other expenses for every employee. This bled over to package . So keep this in mind that UPS and their bean counters make decisions on the almighty dollar. It makes sense to me. If your people can figure out an angle that it makes good financial sense to promote from within and how creating more jobs is to their benefit then they may go for it. New hires off the street may have more accidents than in house UPS trained drivers. That cost money in the long run. Enough drivers help for long term growth. That helps the company save and make more money. The train where we are at and subcontractors are unreliable and that costs the company in the long run. They are always telling us to get the big picture. They should do the same. The higher up management is the more they look down the road. Not like center manager and regular managers who are just looking at the next quarter. good luck. [/QUOTE]
