[QUOTE="fredly00, post: 57053"] We are seeing the same here... Generally I'll run 92-110 stops. +40 4-6pm pickups (about 300 Del and 100 PU) Back in by 6 If I'm good, but if I come in at 6, I get more work. thats fine. Its usually not much(yet) Ok I shouldn't say this is bad, but I'm one of the first drivers in, others are still coming in after dark... One day I started at 6pm(covering to help out) they say you'll get like 30-40 stops. hey no problem thats about 2 hours work, its 2 resi areas, and spread out with a 30 mile jaunt into resi-ville. I turn around and have 60 stops spread over 3 resi areas. Start delivering around 6:40. even if I could pull 10SPORH, thats still 6 hours.. I ended up coming back with 22 packages or so at 10pm ish. low SPORH due to widespread resi's and 3 areas. I should mention I was sent out to areas I've never been in, so when dark came... I couldn't make heads or tails of where I was. Not to mention freaking customers out, when I walk up on the deck, and then I hear the wife or husband on the couch say "honey did you hear something outside" I called the sup... none were in the building.. so I came back. got a little grief but then when I explained that I had over 60 stops dropped on me at 6pm, they sorta understood. I will say that they are trying, Its like experiment after experiment, but they are trying they are manipulating routes, and working on figuring the mess out. I might vent, but I still love the job, management is even getting friendlier(can it be?) I can also see their stress caused by regional/district management demands. Happy employees = productive employees Rested employees = fast working employees Unhappy employees = unproductive employees Overworked employees = dangerous employees(injury/accident prone) But as been said to me in the past; "if it makes sense... UPS will never do it" (Message edited by fredly00 on July 10, 2005) [/QUOTE]
