Hey all. We are a small center up here in Canada and are about to get a pre-load. We have always had a driver sort and load with plenty of overtime. Right now we have a "soft" rule on no more than 10 5 hour workday with the sort. The majority of our fulltime drivers start at 7 a.m.
They are now saying that rule will go down to 9 5 hours per day with a new start time of 9 a.m. That would make a punchout time of 7:30p.m. if we are forced to work a full shift. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I want a life and I'm not sure UPS is the place I wish to be employed at anymore if thats the case.
Anyways, I'm just curious at to what everyones average workday is. What time do you usually start and end your shift? Do you get hastled everytime you want to leave no matter how heavy of workload you have just completed?
We have always been told to listen to our customers, but my customers want earlier delivery times and don't care about later pickup times. They want to go home too!
BTW, I'm a 15 year employee - I do know how the system works. Trip over a dollar to pick up a dime.
