You couldn't pay me enough to destroy my Saturday like that.
I talk to the Saturday drivers here and the LOATHE Saturdays. Misloads way off route that they are told to run, basically covering an entire loop and a half of area, which for us is about 4-6 routes, 150 or so stops spread way out and done around 7:30-8pm. Also say that you get many random pick ups such as UPS stores or Target in particular here that again are spread out because you are running such a distance. Orion is worthless on Saturdays with the 12:00 commits and distance covered.
Mondays for us are a joke. No back-up coverage on pick ups which are heavy, cut routes and spread out. Many lower seniority guys like myself are off on the side until the last minute.
Not like anyone will change anything here, but I do think both the UPS and the Union could make Sat / Sunday work with a new job classification and open up more opportunities for PT workers with better wages for driving. Just a wish I guess...
The biggest issue that I see is the need to protect and run routes for FT drivers on Mondays. Right now the volume isn't there for Saturdays to run well or Mondays either.
