[QUOTE="gandydancer, post: 526534, member: 9310"] No. For one thing, you're double counting the $136.80. The laid off driver is a wash if he gets paid the same rate for the same number of hours inside as out. And the gas is pretty much a wash too -- the drivers getting ot use gas at the same time. And what do you save on insurance or maintenance by leaving a vehicle on the lot if you put the miles on another vehicle? The miles saved not getting the fourth truck out to the route is probably trivial. The tradeoff is mostly X hours of ot for the 3 working drivers (expensive) vs X hours of straight time split between two pt, plus two pt bennies. Which for new hires under the new contract can't be much (except the capitation may be unrelated to whether they qualify to get bennies). Sounds like a bad decision for UPS. [/QUOTE]
