[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1171530, member: 33696"] according to some HD contractors, they get paid less than their ground counterparts... so some will pay even lower than Ground wages. the VRP system proves that anyone w/ a pulse and some common sense can do the job, so they'll either accept the low wage or move on if the driver can't shovel out 25-30 stops per on-road hour. With the proper SAFE methods i'm practicing, i'm only doing an avg of 15 SPORH & when i sometimes cut corners, i'll go up to 20. as far as that new DOT rule about taking a 30 min break, thank goodness it's not yet enforced by locking out the scanner (yet). right now, i use part of the commute to the service area time as "the timed break". scan a box and code it 07, shut down the scanner & charge up the battery during the "30 min break" then boot it up when i arrive to the service area & re-attempt that box at a later time. or, when i look at the VRP map & see a big gap between stops, that's when i'll take the timed break & shut off the scanner while going to that one long stop [/QUOTE]
