[QUOTE="ups before dawn, post: 282019, member: 12855"] UPSmeoff, I'm still pretty new to this forum, so I don't really know you or where you are, but I am going to guess you guys don't have snow on the ground where you drive. Being here in the Northern New England district peak didn't go quite so smoothly... and the planning seems to be a bit, well... let's say retarded. The driver helpers riding bicycles with wagons attached to the back of them worked until we got our first good snow storm -- after that it everything went to hell. One of the routes that I load was supposed to have two driver's helpers on bikes. I ended up loading the package car up with 250+ stops almost everyday and putting another 75+ under the belt for someone to grab later... The driver only had one helper and they worked out of the truck... I drive Saturday air (at $12.50/hr) and they had me delivering ground packages (out of my car...) on Thursday and Friday after my preload shift (at ground rate... around $27/hr) and then I delivered ground out in the boonies (because of a storm on Thursday... snow made for EC) for 7 hours -- at ground rate again! So I can't complain... but it seems like the overtime for the drivers and extra pay for me makes the whole equation unbalance towards the side of illogical and inefficient. [/QUOTE]
