[QUOTE="wornoutupser, post: 76217, member: 2196"] I agree with starting earlier. Fedex is on the road in my town over an hour before we even start on the belt. UPS seems to think that backing up the start time is the way to secretly make us work faster to get home at the same time. GARBAGE! We started at 9:15 Friday. We have started as late as 9:30 recently and we are a very extended center. Late next day airs did not seem to be a problem, just let us know where and how many. A 9:30 start makes for a 8:00 P.M. 9 1/2 hour day and way too many of us are getting more than a 10 hour dispatch. This results in wasted time for meet points, excessive miles every day and a PO'd driver force. Our unload has to scramble when the volume hits in. This could be completely avoided with a earlier start to have the pickups into the building in a timely maner. This would allow for on-time trailer pulls to the hubs and on-time return loads. How can UPS argue with common sense? [/QUOTE]
