[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 423638, member: 9789"] The company is driven by PICK UP volume. If your area has more pu volume than delivery volume you can bet your sweet :censored: there will be plenty of drivers to make those pus. Without pick up volume the routes will be consolidated big time. Remember - the delivery cycle starts when the package is picked up. negrosangre - Many of people just like you do not really understand how business works.... not just UPS. This is the way a smart business runs. You have to be as efficient as possible. It is unfortunate that sometimes there are people who get into the cross fire but their job becomes a liability instead of an asset. Years ago - I was on the bubble of a layoff. In LA UPS owned a company called "Red Arrow" that delivered our missorts at $30 a pop. My manager thought it was cheaper to let me deliver the missorts at $8/hr rather than laying me off. OH! I also had an assigned daily PU route that could not be cut out! Pick up volume will drive the lay offs at each center. These layoffs will vary at each center with the reduction in pick up volume.
