Make $35/hr for being a package delivery driver or placing your family first. You decide. I do both and work 6 days a week.
Some people must have higher standards for their families. I don't know how you make your family wait to eat dinner at 8pm every night. No reason any driver should work past 6-6:30 unless they want to.

You smell that?
They are...they're making sure we still have jobs to support our families.
Tell that to the 6 bid drivers who get their routes cut 3 days a week and the 8 young drivers that get sent home daily at my center.
It's not a family of the father is never home.

You forget that I have worked PT for the last 38 years plus Army National Guard for 22 years plus whatever other jobs I hook up with. My primary job is to care for my family and I can say I have done that.
Yes I did know. Long hours/ working the holidays etc. Working till 6:30 even 7 isn't that bad. But with how many routes our center has been cutting everyone is working till 7:30-8. There is no need for it. The bold saying is take care of your tools and your tools will take care of you. Drivers are the tools of UPS. Then the union screwed drivers under 4 years because they can't file 9.5. I work to live...not live to work.
I wasn't trying to direct that comment at you specifically. I'm just saying different people ha e different priorities/standards of what a good family life is you know?

My son would echo your feelings as he just started driving FT this summer. My FT center managers response would be "don't like your job, quit".

I guess I was lucky having managers that cared for their people. Not too many of them anymore.
I bet that would change quick if they actually stayed till the last driver got in. You're lucky if you can catch ours around 16:00

From what I am seeing corporate is beating the hell out of center manager's and drivers sups. Except on Fridays when the office is empty.

I'm sure that he doesn't make his family wait to eat, especially is he has younger children. They eat without him and he warms up his meal when he gets home.

Sounds like around 26 routes going to be going out in Roswell, starting Sept 3. Think Marietta, in the same building, is doing 23ish.
