[QUOTE="Coldworld, post: 423222, member: 4777"] Its such a cop out. You dont see fedex express out there until 730. The post office isnt out there either....I once asked a big wig from one of the larger post offices about this and they said that production goes way down in the dark, along with the safety issue, so they dont keep the troops out much past 5pm. UPS doesnt care about your safety after dark, they just dont, and adding one strip of reflective material to a vest of coat isnt going to do anything against a drunk driver. If a driver gets in an accident or gets hit while walking around in the dark its the drivers fault, always, period, end of story. Its always comes back to the 28 dollar an hour issue....its just not true. Look at the amount of money a truck driver( yellow, abf) or fedex makes per what they do in a day, then compare that to what a typical ups driver makes and tell me who is making out with the best deal, especially factoring in the total benefit pkg....its not ups. Then factor in the ware and tare on the body, the mental games, bad back, knees etc and ups really isnt comming ahead. If anyone wants to survive at this company for 30 years it really is a mental game to be able to use all the lifting methods even though speed is always going to be the main thing. [/QUOTE]
