[QUOTE="overallowed, post: 353741, member: 5739"] We were one of the first centers in the nation to go on bonus. At one point we had 70%-80% of the drivers making bonus. As wages rose, (and other factors, too) management started little by little trying to reel it in by checking loads for bagged, high volume pickups (Letters and smalls) and started "codeing" time cards. I had a high volume pickup that bagged letters and other smalls, and was good for 750-1,000 pieces a day and made 2-3 hours bonus a day for a time. Management started codeing timecards and that was it for me. Then came the strike in '97, and our center voted it out. The other center in our building kept it, though. After a couple of years, our center voted it back in, and just like that, it was back. A handful of routes are the only ones that make anything significant. After the PAS system was installed at our center, they re-timestudied all routes, and about 90+% of our drivers run over. I haven't run scratch in years. Not even during peak. I still have a job. They can kiss my big white :censored:. Overallowed. The name says it. The numbers prove it. Bonus, the old fashioned way. [/QUOTE]
