[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 106484, member: 4886"] If you could guarantee that 15 -30 minutes more on the preload (at overtime) will reduce driver paid day by 1-3 hrs. I don't think you would find many mgmt people who wouldn't take you up on that. I truly believe a larger problem we have that should be solved is the staffing in the hubs. Most preloads run the least best during the end of the preload due to late loads from the hubs. I think that UPS needs to invest a heck of a lot of money in the hubs, so we can get the volume in, process it and get it back out to the preloads, so they have enough time to process the loads. The night sorts need to run a very short window so the preloads can have a little more time to process the last loads that come in. Fedex has virtually every hub automated in the sort aisle so they can put them where they are really needed, in the load and unload. Like I've said in another post.
