[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 467747, member: 4653"] Upstate, You took the words right out of my mouth. I can't imagine UPS making any money on a ground package in which the driver must drive 3 miles at 25mph to the house and 3 miles back. Actually there is no way UPS can make money and is most likely losing money (even an air package would lose money) I'm not familiar with your type of routes (thankfully LOL). I work in the city/suburbs where 25 or even 28 stops per hour is possible. When you add the residential charge (it was $1 but I know it has increased to 1 and change) we must be making money on these parcels but I'm thinking it can't be much. The residential surcharge doesn't even cover the driver's hourly wage. The money is business to business when you think about it. UPS pays me $29 to deliver 30 parcels at 26 stops an hour. They also pay $29 to deliver 160 parcels at 10 stops an hour. It appears our residential stops break even so we can make money at bulk stops. [/QUOTE]
