[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1249067, member: 50088"] It's true that generally the drivers that live close are the last to show up. Guys like me who live 50 miles away from the center are 30-45 minutes early partly to leave a time cushion in case of an unexpected traffic problem. We've talked about this working off the clock thing before of course. I've said in a previous thread that UPS should pay 10-15 minutes for necessary AM tasks. They take just as long, if not longer than PM tasks that we DO get paid for. Why aren't we given time in the AM to do them? If you don't do these tasks before PCM, then you obviously have to do them after which takes time we often don't have. A dozen + 10:30 commits demands you get on the road right away and not sit in the parking lot after your pre-trip for 10 more minutes to do what you need to do. Asking for 10-15 minutes paid is really just for minimum tasks. I come in 30 minutes early to comfortably get ready for the day. If I don't, then I'd be rushing and stressing out and not have a smooth day. One practice I do is look at all my air stops and get all the grounds situated that go with those air stops. I don't want to visit anywhere twice. Of course, you also want to confirm you have all your NDA in the first place. [/QUOTE]
