Takes me a 45 hour work week to make that (gross). First years of progression hurts. Nevertheless, I'm thankful to have this job and see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Even though UPS is delivering premium shipments on holidays, I can't see how they make money paying top rate guys $800 to run 50 or 60 stops. Of course they do it for the service factor, not to make money necessarily on one particular day.

The $800 is a combination of holiday pay ($267) plus hours worked paid at double time ($534).

The company does lose money on non-operational days.

25 stops. 270 miles. Highly unlikely they made money on me yesterday.
