[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1277350, member: 12570"] Most everyone here knows that I never worked one day on the inside so I have no idea what you guys/gals go through, especially in the hubs. I do know that I tell my pickup customers not to put the word "Fragile" anywhere on the package as I know how it will get treated along the way. When you are doing 600 PPH there is no way to catch each and every package which will most likely not make it through the system in one piece. As a driver I am the last line of defense against delivering damaged packages. I have one stop in particular (Walmart) where it seems that the physical condition of the packages I deliver keeps getting worse each year. The former receiving clerk used to bitch all the time about it and it was very hard for me to disagree with her. Would raising the starting pay to $10/hr or higher help to reduce the number of damaged packages that make it on to the pkg cars? [/QUOTE]
