[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 1310683, member: 4653"] He is, and an embarrassment to the rest of the hard working, rules following, method using drivers. First, he says "I get frustrated but I can't take it personal." Really, Earle? How are you supposed to take it? They are attacking and questioning YOU about bulk-head, time to stop, time at stop, etc.. How is that not personal? Secondly, he says " I used to do 90 stops but now I do 120" and the article says same driver, same truck. Earle, my friend, are you crazy? How can you do an extra 30 stops in the same amount of time as before? Fifteen years ago I could do about 21-24 house calls per hour and today I can do about 21-24 house calls per hour. The only way this could change would be if the UPS trucks were made like the recycle trucks. You know, they have a steering wheel on both sides and he drives the wheel that is on the side he's doing and he has a brake that secures the truck but its still running and his bins are open to deposit the bottles and cans. Maybe UPS should take a page out of the trash guys book. I could do 30-35 an hour if I could work like that, lol. [/QUOTE]
