[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 469257, member: 484"] The correlation between delivery and health care is not a good one. As has been mentioned, it takes a bit more training for a nurse than a delivery man. They are also offering $40,000 sign on bonuses, something you just dont see in delivery. Here, it is not unusual to have a nurse work 50-60 hours or more. And while there is a whole new wave of nurses coming on, the shortage is still there. One other interesting side, travelers get 40-50 bucks an hour straight time, but no bennies. One solution to drivers that have late pickups is to start them later. Say at 10-10:30. Let an air driver deliver the air load. But then that would really suck, because your start time is almost lunch time. And of course, there would be contract issues with the air. While it seems very expensive to keep you out three or four hours overtime each night, the bean counters know that in the long run, it is cheaper for ups to do so than any of the other alternatives. d [/QUOTE]
