Changing my route for peak.

[burrheadd]

So your just here to whine?

 

[oldngray]

Mall routes can be great during peak but since they are easy to learn it is easier to let a new driver deliver there and have a more experienced driver deliver apartments. Sucks but UPS is allowed to do that.

 

[Dave312]

No. I'm here asking if there is anything I can do. I don't know all the ins and outs just the few things that have happened to me in the past

 

[laffter]

The mall is the last place I'd want my route for peak.

I help on a mall route. inside = warm. It spoils you.

 

[TooTechie]

Cosmo is right.

Our mall helper works out of a TP-60. Freezes his butt off to load the cart----warms up while unloading the cart.

Sad to say but Cosmo may be right----I don't think you have basis for a valid grievance.

 

[Dave312]

That's what I thought but never hurts to ask. There are a lot of people in here with more knowledge and experience then me

I'm sure there are knowledgeable and experienced people in your center as well.

Is it your bid route? That will make some difference. But, honestly they can (and do) destroy routes at peak to put the best drivers in the places where it will most benefit UPS.

Between deliveries and pickups (I assume they will pull your pickups too), that change may constitute a greater than 50% change in your route. I'd talk to management, and if they give you the run around, go speak with your steward and just discuss it with him before actually filing the grievance.

 

[Dave312]

Yes there are but I'm not at work and found out when I punched out.

 

[CHALLY9TX]

You should be able to at least keep your PC. You should be able to grieve that.

...unless it has a trailer hitch for the TP-60...

 

[Dave312]

It's. A 12 cube

 

[Dave312]

No hitch or anything.

 

[oldngray]

Most mall routes I have seen would never fit in a TP-60. A 1200 or at least a 1000.

 

[Dave312]

It's a 1200.

 

[PT Car Washer]

Need your car for the mall route. Operational needs of the company. You are out of luck.

Correct. It is my BID route and I do have 26 pick ups as well

Then yes, you should be able to grieve it. With it being peak they may (probably will) say there's nothing they can/will do, but if you have a good enough steward you might get your way. Make sure you still swing by the mall to flirt/grab any tips due to you for being the man all year
