[QUOTE="HULKAMANIA, post: 1031362, member: 36802"] No offense but I still dont buy any of it. A. Why would someone EVER be sent out DISPATCHED as an 18 hour day??? B. If that story is true, the time allowances on everything was so jacked up that those numbers mean absolutely nothing. There is NO WAY ANYBODY I dont care how fast and hard you run can shave off 7 hours worth of work. You are looking to short sighted my friend. I did a mere comparison of 10 employees. How many drivers do you think are on the road a day for UPS? 10 was just a way to put it into perspective. The trucks statement...all I gotta say is .... Im not tooting my own horn or anything but I am very educated when it comes to engines. Do me a favor, next time you get in your car and drive somewhere calculate your fuel mileage when your engine is cold, and then when its warm and see what you come up with. Im not trying to argue with you at all, but I dont buy it at all. In a larger city cutting a route and putting more stops on 5 cars might work. In a rural area it doesnt work. Our center is most dominately rural, and this insane stops per car gimmick has us ALL running 9.5's all the time. As a center it would be cheaper to have 1 more guy on the road and less hours out. To me thats pretty simple math but then again UPS doesnt know the slogan "Keep it simple stupid" On another note-putting more work on the "runners" is very contradictive on UPS' part. "Follow the methods" We are told NOT to run, we are told NOT to speed, we are told SAFETY FIRST....funny how every single one of those RULES hit a brick wall....The truth is Run but dont get caught, speed but dont get caught, and just dont get hurt if you do its all your fault.
