I'd tend to think of it as a gray area loss leader for the company. At only $4 a day for another 20 minutes of PC and driver on the road, UPS would probably hope the pickup would put some paid volume into the system.

Fair point. But at the same time in another thread there were about 25 posts saying they can't get dead pickups pulled out of their DIAD for places that have been closed for 2 years. Clearly some places don't care if volume is coming out of these pickups.
But is UPS still receiving weekly payments for them to stay in the board? Beats me. Free money? No problem with opening and stop completing a known defunct pickup as long as it's clear to managenent and I don't have to break off from the regulars.

I'm sure you are one to always take from the penny jar but never leave some.
If some odd irregular package which must be picked up, fine. To randomly mail some junk just to pad your hours and paycheck, instead of simply bringing the package with you to work (imo) is dishonest.

I like this guy! You remind me of Wally with this type of thinking.
What if you become a Smart pickup? Would Orion have you there about the same time doing a few stops in the area thinking you have a 12 noon pickup? At 12, the pickup would go away and you would not be charged.

Overpaid? How can that be? The company agreed to pay the set wages.
Dishonest? These are the rules and the driver is playing by them. The company can change the rules at any time as they did with Orion and safety, having drivers cross traffic more.

Like I said earlier, his paid day would barely increase because the stops around his house would be set around this p/u. This is what Orion does. Before Orion, this would be the case where a 20 minute break away would occur following regular EDD.
Yes, which is the reasoning that seems to escape people when talking about CEO pay. The market, company, and executive agree on the $15M salary. Is he overpaid? Nope, that's what he costs.

I tossed all of our leftovers in to the recycling bin before I went on vacation.

Pickup accounts are NEVER closed for inactivity. UPS just sits back and collects the weekly pickup charge.
I passed the leftovers to some of my home stops.

If they agree to pay that, good for the CEO.

The company does not have the right to prevent you from using a restroom. If you are in a rural area and you have to go...you have to go.
