[QUOTE="dudebro, post: 234977, member: 11234"] For another, I'm personally proud of the fact that we pay our drivers a true living wage, and I wish there was a way we could pay our people 100k a year because they earn every last penny of it. But we're competing against companies whose cost model allows them to pay their drivers 20-30% less, and buy and fix their own trucks. I would hate to treat our people like that, but how does anyone think we're going to make up that difference? It's obvious to the UPSer on the front line. Efficiency and service. We are going to put 140 stops on the car. Where we find it's dense, we're going to put 180 stops on the car. We won't sustain our cost model any other way. And we have to cut send agains right to the point where the claims would just start to increase, and no higher, because every stop costs $4 or so. Call me a "numbers" guy but those are the hard facts. Sorry for the long winded posts but I talk to our people every day about these things and that's how I believe it is. [/QUOTE]
