[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 52593"] Dammor I have been through 2 strikes at UPS during my career, and that was 3 too many. IF you can imagine a place where I leave my center with a p600. I drive for 3 hours or so away from the center and meet 3-5 other UPS drivers with empty trucks, ones that they take home every night. We split the work and all go our merry way delivering. Any pick up pieces are brought back to the meet point by 3:30-4, and I take those back to the center with me. THe others finish the deliveries and take the vehicles home with them till tomorrow, and we do it all over again. Anybody on this board doing deliveries this way? Believe it or not, there are places here in the USA where this happens every day. Drivers going 300-450 miles a day delivering 10-30 packages. WE have some here that deliver the coalfields. The packages he delivers in a whole month might pay his wages for a day. So I can see why that might seem a cost cutting method for UPS to consider. IT just makes my BROWN BLOOD BOIL thinking about one of our packages with the UPS barcode on it, hanging off a mailbox in the rain. IM glad Im getting to be a short timer, cause if this is the way UPS is going, I dont know if my brown pride can take it. d[img]http://browncafe.com/discus2/clipart/sad1.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
