[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1214348, member: 22662"] I don't think your math is too far off, but your conclusion may be. The suggestion that the 30%volume increase translates into 30% more work for drivers is a bit dubious. First of all, UPS drivers are already being pushed. A route doing 300 stops last peak would increase 60 to 90 stops? Is that even possible? It may be that UPS will have to expend more resources to hire more temp drivers and helpers taking into consideration not only increased volume but also the subsequent later start times. Or maybe they quietly acknowledge that the number of service failures is going to rise. Possibly all of the above. [/QUOTE]
