[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 553970, member: 484"] Blue They dont use the word quota, they prefer "revenue enhancing". That revenue enhancing is a big thing here with the cuts made to the police departments. One sheriff took the county to court to be able to give his officers a raise and hire 12 more. The outcome was that he was able to hire 9 of the 12, but no raises. So on one sound bite he was saying how there would be more officers out protecting the people, and the next he was complaining that he could not keep officers, as the pay was so low, even McDonald's paid more. So funny. But seriously, one of the big things now is that the officer needs to be doing revenue enhancements (some call it fund raising) to help keep his salary where it is. So now most deputies shoot radar to catch speeders instead of patrolling and crime detection and prevention. As for the problem of overweights, Pickup, you are damaging packages when you do that. The only time I know of when UPS has had overweight problems is when we pick up a lot of small heavy packages. Like boxes of books. If the loader puts all of them over one axle, then there is a problem. But it should not happen that often. d [/QUOTE]
