[QUOTE="Re-Raise, post: 876047, member: 16501"] This job has always been tough. I just choose to be tougher. When I was on the preload 25 years ago we used to have new hires quit by the first break. We had drivers quit on route because of the pressure of going out blind on routes they couldn't finish. In some ways technology has made the job easier. GPS, PAS/EDD have all helped. They can more accurately dispatch with these tools and it helps trace the route for new drivers. I remember showing up in the morning with a handful of maps and a bulked out truck and asking the preloader, " how many stops do I have?". Only to have him answer " a lot, I quit counting during the last trailer." That being said UPS management has really taken these tools and used them to micro manage the employees. That has changed for the worse. We are no longer empowered to make decisions that make sense because it will show up on a report somewhere. [/QUOTE]
