The company is still management heavy, and I don't mean at the operations level. They need to clean house in Atlanta, and invest in real sales reps. UPS has got to be the cheapest paying organization when it comes
To sales people.

Not according to HR.
UPS is at the average for the industry.

Wherever I see Trump, it smells like he's Putin.
So, they only installed preload, diad, surepost, edd and Orion in "problem centers"? Interesting.

He's right though. For every driver that feels like you do, 3 others aren't giving it up. So if we have 4 drivers working 10 a day on a loop, and you add a fifth with the idea that you'll have 5 8's, it won't work that way. 3 drivers will still be out 10 and the new guy and maybe one driver would be fine working 8. Plus, it's not cost for cost, now you have another vehicle, another spot in a building, another DIAD, another benefits package, etc...

He was wrong with his blanket statement that drivers aren't giving up the overtime...PERIOD.
I'm in the twilight of my time at UPS. I'm old and beat up after doing this for over 30 years. Have no bills and only one kid left in college to pay for. Only sticking around for the health insurance and the carrot that my union is hanging in front of me with a significant pension bump at age 60.
This is the first year that I have taken numerous unpaid dead days. My PDS knows who to call when they have extra drivers. The extra 3-4 weeks "vacation" I have had this year has been priceless!

While I refuse to take "dead days", you and I appear to be on the same exit plan.

Even with my dead days, I am getting more than 40 hours/week with OT and bonus.
Am seriously considering leaving my route after the first of the year to bid a different retirement route.
The route is scheduled to be broken every Monday and the three day weekends most of the year are quite the draw for me.

Average in the industry for what? Pay for sales jobs? Just curious, because I run into sales people all day long on my route, and they are compensated much higher than our sales reps.

Base and expenses plus commission.

They don't get MIP bonuses or a pension and maybe health insurance.
Look at the total compensation package.
Also, the UPS sales force, up till now, is not a high pressure job where if you don't produce, you don't get money.
All that said, if you're real good, you'll get in a more competitive job where your compensation is based on performance.
