Whats the use of having a contract then? Lets just let the supervisors deliver your route and send your butt to the house.
I am sick of working over 9 1/2 !

I guess Helen is the only driver on BC that is lucky to have a job!
I'll advised but I couldn't resist.

Red,I know what your saying BUT,the only drivers layed off in our center
are the lunch skipping,on the truck before start time,afraid of the dark swing drivers that would still be doing all the above if they were driving. Just doing my part to make sure work is not being performed for free.

Wow !! A wide range of response on this one. Here is my take, 20 years into this I am 51 years old. I too am working over 9.5 pretty regularly, upper management is pushing our local center manager and sups to make us the scapegoat for everything. Get sales leads, higher sporh, more stops per car, better service, and my favorite, work safer. Well I think labor fought these battles decades ago and now UPS thinks because the economy is down now they can push anything on us they want. Folks just work at a safe pace, give a fair days work for a fair days pay. The pendulum will swing the other way again(Ihope). We had three accidents this week alone, this will be their cross to bare. I want to be home in a 8.5 to 9 hr time frame thats not unreasonable. After all they are the ones that want us to volunteer and be active in the community, no time in the evening, and no energy on the weekends. Yes I am gratefull to be employed but I will never reccomend UPS to anyone again to work for them.

Thurs I was out blind on a rte in an old P800. High step, no power steering POS. One driver took a whole shelf off of me. Another was supposed to come and help but he didn't (but that is another story). I didn't clock out until 10:15pm. That truck beat the crap out of me, as did the rte. I was so tired this morning that I didn't even get on BC.

I had 95 stops/160 pkgs but that doesn't include the shelf that was pulled. The DM made sure that I new that he new that I was over-allowed by 5 hrs. LOL I told him that my sup new I was going out blind.

That truck is THE most miserable POS to drive. I literally crawl in and out of it.
I have been in one of these all this past week, and probably all next week too. My P7 had its rear bumper pushed in by a Saturn engine block and it caused a little dent beside the step bumper mount. One week at the body shop and another week at the paint shop. I feel like I am being punished for having an unavoidible accident. That 1981 POS-800 has to be the most miserable thing I have driven in years. My shoulders are shot from the manual steering and my knees are wornout from that 21" step out the side with 150-160 stops. I will probably kiss my 2005 P7 when I get it back.

I can relate...someone took my chair last week and I've been having to use one of the old chairs. I can't lean back in this one and put my feet up on the desk. My back is killing me...I guess I'll have to go chair hunting on Monday.

I can imagine Hoax stealing the crappy printer, like in Office Space.
Or the red stapler.
