And your point?My center manager said "i really don't understand how you do it", which is making me think i get a coveted safety ride.

no going home at 430 and getting paid till 7 is good enough for me, lol
He just started driving in January, so I'm guessing that the laid off driver will be him .
yeah...but i'll put it simply i did a 10 hr planned day in 7.5 hrs and a 9 in 7 hours
So what is the standard? Is anybody that is faster than I am unsafe? I think we need to leave room for differing abilities. We often read on BC "work at a safe speed" For some people "safe" will be faster than others. Or by "work at a safe speed" do we mean "work slow, so you don't make others look bad"
If we all would work at the speed of the slowest among us, we would be a pretty useless bunch.
I am not trying to be disrespectful, I was just surprised by the strength of the blow-back the original poster got here.
My point of view is definitely not as a driver (going to driver school in March, I hope)"work at a safe speed" do we mean "work slow, so you don't make others look bad"
No i wouldn't say thats what was meant.
So if you are in a residential area should your idea of work safe be different than mine.
Can you go faster down the road than i can probably are you being safe no.
Can you run up the driveway faster than i can walk a fast pace, Yes you can are you bieng safe no.
Can you sort your truck during lunch while i rest my body yes you can but i will be here longer than you, your body will give out.
everyone works different but we should all follow methods
Whenever I read posts about running underallowed or racking up very high SPORH I can only assume that your route is dense, streets are paved and have names, those names are on signs and maps, houses have numbers that are visible. Stops are not 8 miles apart; maybe your entire route is not 8 miles long.

I look at the report under my name to see how I did the day before and what I got paid. We have guys that run 2 hours late and some that run 2 hours early. To each his own.
I think that the 2 hours bonus this driver thinks he is making is all the time that he spends on the dock before his start time. All the time he spends working by punching out earlier and continues to work. All the time he spends working through his lunch and recording that he had taken on. The time spent not taking his ten minute paid break.. The time spent going above the posted speeds and rolling stops sign. All the time spent for cutting customers the service that they are begging and paying for. The time spent for blowing off pickups or giving them to a different driver. The time spent scanning airs before they are deliver after 10:30 either closed or dr'd and delivering them without needing to cut from loop. The time spent for working very unsafe. The time spent for padding stops. The time spent for signing for packages or using signature released when handing the customer their package. The time spent for double parking and making happy people a difficult commute unhappy. The time spent for signing for packages. The time spent running and not walking at a brisk pace costing the company Millions on injurys. These are a few things that UPS rewards its employees for called BONUS! If you are in management you have a whole new set of time cutting measures that you are rewarded!
I am sure there are hundreds more! Anymore please respond...
There are routes that are difficult or impossible to scratch there are others that are easy to beat. There are routes you can beat pretty well as long as you're physically able to maintain a certain pace all day long. So yea I know there are runners out there short cutting but not everyone that can bust scratch is running and or taking unsafe short cuts or working before they are on the clock.
