Does management have to go UP the TCD list when sending drivers back out?

So you guys are telling me that if I'm dispatched with let's say for instance 9.5 hours of work, I finish the route, text my wife to start dinner I'll be home soon, get back to the building and park my truck, go into the office to punch my board out and someone instructs me to go back out I have to?

Unreal.
I hear what you're saying but working here doesn't make it easy for your wife for dinner. My wife cooks dinner for her and my kids at 5 and I get to get the rubbery food that's left over at 7 when I get home...I'm just use to it after all these years

I don't have this problem about not being confident about my punch out time. I wasn't aware there were supplements that didn't protect drivers from this sort of thing.

Waaaaaaaaah! They want to send me back out to make 50 dollars an hour! Waaaaah!

One of the first things I learned is don't make plans during the week as there is NO guarantee as to when you get off here at UPS.

I am almost certain there is a preloader who would love your spot.

Mcdonalds is hiring. Guaranteed punch out time.

If you are instructed to go back out and you refuse? You'll have a meeting where your ID card will be taken, then you'll get escorted to the gate, then you'll sit at home waiting for the local hearing where you can beg for your job. Atlantic Area supplement.
Really sucks that people have to be treated like this. Today was my last day. I have driven 2 years as a reg temp. This year they were pissed and confused why I was leaving. You guys put up with a lot of crap. The money is good but I just couldn't do it year round. At my hub it's easy to get away stuff. I'm the morning I have come and said my route is to heavy you need to take off some stops NOW. To my surprise they have done it a few times. Her is a funny story. The regular driver of my route had been out hurt for months. I took her route over the 3rd day as a reg temp. She finally came back and to her surprise the route has increased by 20-30 stops. When the route is light she decides to take it and I get sent home or run airs. I pretty much ran this route every day for the past 6 months. I told them the route was getting too heavy. To prove a point this is what I did. I came in said I'm not running the route it's too heavy. The regular driver showed up late as usual and I handed her the diad before she had a chance to see the load. I went to another sup and said I can run your airs. Big argument between sups occurred but I ended up running airs or I was walking out. Got done at 11 and went home. got a call at 1 from my sup asking me to come back to the hub and help the driver. Told her she may have had a chance to get me to help if she caught me before I left the hub. My point is more of you guys need to stand up for yourselves. This job is hard and they can't easily replace you guys. The new generation is lazy so new hires won't last.. They NEED you. Stick up for yourself. I don't regret leaving but I will miss my coworkers.

UPS does not dispatch by the route. They dispatch by the driver. You just proved it. When you ran the route it is 20 to 30 stops heavier then when the bid driver runs it. I see this all the time except sometimes they have to lighten up the cover driver.

Good luck out there.

Not if you're in the Central.
