[QUOTE="Rick Ross, post: 2543531, member: 51847"] I never heard a peep about break times in package. Make it to work, no late air, run decent stops per hour and stay off reports for stupid things. Do that and I would rarely talk to my supervisors. The fact they knew I would bend them over if they messed with me without cause probably helped as well. You also have to realize what feeders do. When a sort 200 miles goes down 90 minutes late I have no problem running straight through to make our preload. The same goes with late air, when the plane is late and we don't leave the ramp until 6:55 AM they are happy most of our drivers will do everything possible to make up time during our drive. In 170 miles I can make up a lot of time in a turned up tractor...UPS won't pay our speeding tickets but most of us will haul ass to try and give preloads and drivers a chance at making service on air. The other day I hauled a late Amazon load with 18,000 packages on it. Do you think the other hub wanted me to stop on road and take 10 minutes of break and 15 minutes of meal on the way? Our schedule said that's what I should do on my outbound leg. If that trailer is late most those packages are held up until the next days twilight sort. [/QUOTE]
