Don't run and gun they said...

[Over70irregs]

You do it in 9
You say no one does it in less than 12....
I take 12.5

How much more do I make for the same amount of work?

1/2 hour at time and a half.
Plus 3 hours at triple time once I file a 9.5 grievance.

At 38 per hour.... $370.50 per day.

$1852.5 more per week

$96, 000 more per year

By NOT running

Triple time?

We have a semi rural route I considered 10 years ago.

100 stops was 9.5.

Runner won the bid.
He burned 100 in 8 daily.
He is at 140 now.
Good route ruined.

Whittle that baby down

I had a driver that worked for me in a rural building... He could burn it up whenever he felt, like most drivers can.

He would file 9.5, burn it up if we took the work off and go over 9.5 if he had more than he wanted. 10 stops difference and he’d make sure he was over 9.5.

I personally preferred the guy that was burning it up so I kept the work off.

Wait, you have argued in the past that they don't take extra taxes out on overtime. What is it? Yes they do, or no they don't?

I have never said that.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I never understood the rationale for exclusively crossing behind the pkg car. Generally speaking, either way is dangerous and requires alertness. My on-car trained me that crossing 25 ft in front is fine. I use both, my choice always depends on the situation, and either way I'm using my ears to detect traffic before I can see it.

Yes, crossing 25' ahead of the pkg car is fine.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I don’t understand the rationale of pulling in the mirror. Has UPS never heard of keeping your hands inside at all times? If you pull in the mirror to avoid cars hitting, means there’s a chance that a car will hit the mirror when you’re pulling/pushing the mirror and destroy your hand. the mirror, I’ll keep my hand. And let’s not forget the old PCs with the mirrors way out front where you have to stick your whole arm out.

We had a driver who had legally parked in a loading zone in a very touristy town come back to the pkg car to find that the drivers side mirror, which he failed to pull in, had been ripped off when an RV drifted a bit too close to his PC.

No, I don’t live paycheck to paycheck, it will all equal out at tax time.

I prefer to have my money now but, yes, it will all equal out at tax time.

Triple time?

Any hours over 9.5 (penalty pay) when filing a 9.5 grievance...

Yes triple time. Time and 1/2 overtime plus time and 1/2 penalty.

Ah I remember when I was rookie and thought I was Captain UPS.

my motto now, “I give you back the day that you give me”

I made $120K last year in package and barely broke a sweat. I’m at least 3 hours over-allowed everyday.

I enjoy my job much more now than I did when I was a sweaty, dirty, running rookie.

 

[Over70irregs]

Yes triple time. Time and 1/2 overtime plus time and 1/2 penalty.

Thats just time and 1/2. IMO. Going past 9.5 is merely extending the OT you already get. That is not a penalty. Again IMO

Working Overtime Is More Taxing Than You Think

The payoff for overtime work appears to be a very good deal for the employee. But here’s some unpleasant news. Thanks to the rising burden of taxes, the bonus income actually received from working longer hours is much less than one might think. That is because every extra hour worked is taxed at the worker’s highest marginal tax rate. In some cases, overtime work may even push the worker into a higher tax bracket.

It turns out that even if the worker receives time and a half for overtime, a surprisingly large share of the bonus wages goes straight to the tax collector.

Is this the reason that you would come in early and work off the clock, to keep you out of a higher tax bracket?

Call it what you will.
When I work past 9.5 hours I am compensated at $114 an hour total ($38x3) after my grievance.
I call that triple time.

You don't want to see paychecks like that.

He worked 17 hours of overtime-----that is roughly 3.5 hours per day.

Do you realize that Uncle Sam takes the bulk of most of the OT worked after the first 8 hours of OT? At that point you are basically working to pay the taxes on that money. How does that make any sense?

Budget based on 40 and you won't have to work 57 hours.



Never came anywhere near this at any time during my 30 years.

That's not how taxes work. But do agree plan life off 40 and money is no issue.

Budget according to the desires god put into your heart. If you have enough faith Jesus will balance the budget for you.

Would you rather be loading a route with 180 stops? Or that same route with 250 stops?

Nice, took 4 weeks of vacation already, put me behind a little. If you max your 401k, watch out at the end of the year, you might get restricted on how much they’ll let you contribute.
