[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 73016, member: 484"] They do that in the ground portion of UPS too. They call it planned day. See it works this way. They set the numbers to reflect what the driver should be able to do in a normal day. Then they cut back on the number of routes they send out every day. So they either send drivers home, have them working two part time shifts, or just dont hire any new drivers in 5 years, even though the volume is growing each year. That way the work day for many drivers is 10-12 hours long each day. And would be much longer still, were it not for the federal government stepping in and placing a ceiling on how many hours can be worked. In many places, were it not for managment doing hourly work, the packages would never get delivered. Or in the case of the preload, placed out for delivery. d [/QUOTE]
