[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 1053638, member: 13921"] The standards have been changing constantly. Average cube size for packages has been going up as have the weights, plus every efficiency improvement has meant added stops. On the average day, the route I am covering now, goes out with more stops than it did 5 years ago, during peak, with a helper. UPS says that they need the increased productivity to compete with Fed Ex. I get that. If the company wants more productivity, then they also have to provide us with the most advanced tools to get that job done safely. Driving a package car without power steering, with today's production standard is borderline criminal. Of course accidents and injuries are going up. Ugh [/QUOTE]
