[QUOTE="New Englander, post: 515070, member: 15249"] My god dude.....how many times must we go over this? Your NOT running all that many more miles then a UPS driver. We travel on a heck of a lot MORE roads then you guys do. Thats a fact. I covered the most EXTENDED route out of EENA. That route covered the area of 4 UPS drivers now. Guess what? I averaged 50 to 60 miles more then the furthest out guy from UPS does now....in that same area. I had from EENA 32 more miles total (round trip) getting from EENA to the same area as the UPS driver. He is in a standard diesel P1000. I was in an automatic 4X4 Ford Econoline (now F150's). so an average day for me was 200 miles. For him? 155 miles. He does 80-90 delivery stops for over 200 pieces. I would do for EENA 40-50 for under 100 pieces. In a much faster accelerating, smaller turning radius 4 wheel drive vehicle. The miles comparison can be completely thrown out the window. You guys absolutely do not work anywhere near the same pace we do. Day in and day out. We are dealing with much more bulk and stops then Express. It's not even close. You have never worked for UPS, so what do you have to base this on? Absolutely nothing. I've worked for both sides. Don't even give me the crap that it has changed. I was there during the strike and the roll out of Express Saver (the only time Express "bulked" up) Even those days are nothing compared to the average UPS day. I never had containment issues. Heck....it's gotten so bad, yet you don't want to believe me when I say my FedEx friends were forced on split shift/lag schedules because volume wasn't there to keep them busy till pick ups. Crap....sometimes I feel like if I want to get home before 8pm I can't take my lunch. When I left EENA they were moving into a brand new state of the art building, built from the ground up for them. Guess what? That building is going to be vacated as EENA has been disolved. Not enough volume to sustain the building. 10 years and it's over. It's so bad that the extra hour to two hour commute time it will take some of these area's to be covered from the surrounding Express centers isn't even much of a concern. Except they will be pulling from the area's earlier on pick up times. So untill you work both sides.....stop trying to defend how "hard" you job is. Heck my job is "easy" yours is much "easier".
