[QUOTE="soberups, post: 403962, member: 14668"] The biggest reason for service failures in my building is overcrowding. My facility was built in 1987 and was, in theory, designed to park 124 routes. It was overcrowded and obsolete 6 months before it ever opened. In typical UPS fashion they did it on the cheap and got what they paid for. We now run over 200 routes a day out of this craphole. The overcrowding means that my car and pup trailer are loaded outside off of an MDU and the routes adjacent to me are in totally different loops 50+ miles away. If I get a misload, there is no way I can make service on it. My preloader is trying to load 7 bulky routes in an overcrowded MDU with no stack tables and no place to put bulk. He has been set up to fail. I have asked to be parked next to the other routes in my loop, where misloads could be exchanged at the airdrop and delivered, but the extreme overcrowding makes this impossible. Its a lot cheaper and easier for management to hand a warning letter to a 19 yr old making $10.50 an hour than it is for them to actually solve the problem and serve the customers. [/QUOTE]
