[QUOTE="HomeDelivery, post: 1287022, member: 33696"] yes, what you guys call "Not In", we won't get paid for trying... only at [B]Home Delivery & Ground divisions.[/B] That's why you see some just leave it out in the open at the hallways/mailroom areas in apt complexes. I won't do that because i know they'll be stolen by a tempted neighbor walking by... [B]Express [/B]airline drivers (haha) gets paid by the hour like you guys... that's a different story. a smart driver will negotiate a dual scale pay (flat rate for the day & per-stop additional after a set minimum) the newly hired temp drivers are getting suckered with "by the stop" pay only :P Saturday businesses closed and adult sig required stops suck if we bring them back. I wanted some of those closed businesses diverted to Ground for Monday's attempt, but HD at my local hub won't do it. The worst i came back w/ re-attempts are about 30 parcels one Saturday... (times $1.50 or less per stop depending on which contractor you signed up with...) That's why some of us skip lunch or "eat on the run" & go non-stop for 10-14 hours a day. it doesn't pay to sit on your ass and take a non-paid full hour lunch. You'll see some Ground drivers doing that, just because they have pickup windows. HD, we just attempt everything that we loaded/sorted into our own vehicles for the day Peak's over so i'm not doing that many hours per day anymore... 6-10 hours are my average these days, depending on what route i'm covering... Some contractors saw how some drivers are capable of runnin' gunnin' & can handle peak season loads all year long, so they just let them have at it & keeps their bottom line low by not having to add supplemental routes to their service areas.
