Why don't we deliver some ground on Saturdays this time of year? I understand that most drivers may be over the dot limit, but for those who aren't, why isn't that option thrown out there to catch up some? Maybe a 4 hour work day? I know, in my hub the preload works an extra shift Friday nights.

I will work, if asked, which would allow a younger driver to stay home with his family.

Maple Grove, I noticed you disagreed with my post. Are you saying that I should only care about myself and screw my younger co-workers, who may have young kids they would like to spend time with? My son is 26---he will go snowboarding and we would hang out that evening.

I did that near the end of my career Upstate. Used to stay out late Christmas Eve too. Let the young guys with small
kids go home to their families. At that stage of the game I didn't care about working late anyway. Knew the end
of the road was near. Just kept maxing out the 401.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
We will be working this Saturday and Sunday maybe for special pick ups. Gonna be interesting how Sunday goes with the dot reset.

You being such a nice person is not going to get you anywhere. You are the only one that matters. Be selfish and do not care about anyone else. UPS does not care about you.
I am a single guy and all I care about myself and no one else at work.

I am a single guy with older kids who remembers what it was like when the kids were much younger and guys like you would make sure they had the day off.
