[QUOTE="Box_Junkie, post: 651315, member: 7554"] I agree with this also. BUT I know how well UPS trains people....I would bet that most of those people would quit fast and say that $15.00 isn't worth it. Weather, angry customers, workload, no family time... They would quit and work at the burger joint for $9.00/hr. As far as renegotiating wages, I'm all for a change in raises. BUT think that they need to stop this route cutting B.S.!! They want sales leads, but are losing customers they do have because they cut the route that del. to them at 9AM. Now they get all their stuff at 4PM....I've seen it so many times this year...T've had business owners cuss me out because I got their stuff to them late and they lost money... Outta my control running a combo BS route. They switched to Fed EX because of this. Also they are sick of having a different driver everyday, that was something that set us apart in the past. I had a locksmith business that ordered a large order that they needed for a commercial job at a factory. They were used to getting everything early, well when I show up a 2PM they told me to take the pkgs. back the factory had switched and the locksmith lost the contract. The service they had relied upon for years from UPS had just caused them thousands. They no longer use us because Fed Ex will be there early everyday. Fed Ex is winning our business with our own tactics that we have abandoned. UPS is shooting itself in the foot when it comes to this. If they would keep some routes in even if they are light they would keep business that they have....and inturn offset the money they are losing by running that route light when they maintain and gain bussiness from current customers in the long run.
