[QUOTE="Tony31yrs, post: 299402, member: 13245"] I agree that both extremes are bad. The milkers usually screw the driver next to him and the runners screw everyone because UPS can run fewer routes. They also screw themselves when they skip lunch or work on their own time in the morning. It's like handing them an hour of OT when they do that. If you are running and get hurt, management will be all over you, too. Customers always told me that the runners looked nervous and unprofessional, too. I always took care of my business customers first. I would only "milk it" when I got too much work. I didn't want the OT, so I wasn't going to rush and "reward" them for screwing me with 10-11 hrs work. I would stay out because my evening was already shot, plus I was ticked off and getting burned out by then. If they wanted to pay me time and a half for less work, fine. If I had 8 1/2 hrs of work, I would hustle more so I would have an evening at home instead of just supper and crash. [/QUOTE]
