That's a lot.

Allergic to cardboard.
210 stops is a decent resi route for an experienced driver. That's outrageous for a noob. It's no wonder you have guys quitting.

There has been more than one week where I hit 60 hours by 530 Friday night and they make me sit and ride as a helper til ten at night

9.5 at our center doesn't mean dogchit...they just pay them their grievances and keep piling on the stops

I bet they only do that to the guys with 2 years or less in as a driver? They save a ton of money this way.

Do you stay on the same route for a full week?

Not all of the guys are less than two years...a lot of guys will just go lay down on a route so their stops counts are disgustingly low...which makes their day nice and everyone else's terrible

I have before and filed...but very very rarely am I on a route more than two days at a time

Which is bull because some guys with less seniority than me get to stay on the same route since they started...manager said its because they will fail if they do another route...that doesn't sound like its my problem though

Now you need to show them the way...to the 9.5 list and file....if they want. I would venture to say these guys aren't on the 9.5 list. If they are and file....your manager will move them.

Making $19.50 I don't always mind the overtime...I couldn't live off straight pay working 40-45 hours a week...but it's getting old being somewhere new everyday while some guys get the same easy stuff every day...oh well

I don’t work at UPS anymore.
Oh heeeeeeeeell no!
Put your foot down dude, they try this crap with me sometimes too. My answer is "it's not my problem"...
It's not our problem that
a) they allow sub-par drivers to make seniority
b) they over-dispatch a route so heavy that nobody has a chance to learn it without "failing"
We've worked for the same managers, these SOBs will lean on whoever they have to lean on to get though the day. Next time they try this throw a tantrum, that's what I do, I don't care how much a of a crybaby I look like, seniority rules. Too bad.

Budget based on 40 and the rest is gravy.

Take a 1/4 out on top of that for the 401k and its even better

My rent is 2200...40 hours a week at 19.50 is 3,120 before taxes...not possible to do around here until I'm top scale

That is probably close to the highest rent for an apartment, here. Glad I don't live in high cost of living area, don't know if the job would be worth it.
