when told to do something that is against the company's own rules I just say one thing "$40.78"...most of you know what I mean..

No way is this possible. And if this is what you consider a hero, I am concerned for you. Sounds like someone needs to put on the tin foil hat.

I’m thinking 2nd day air letters, shipper release, all from a nationally known phone provider. The letters go to every house in a neighborhood marketing recently installed fiber optic service. Wow, that was a lot of typing to keep from mentioning a company name.
I delivered 50 of them back before peak, took me about 25 minutes.

I wear mine under my UPS hat. Try it, Dorkhead. Obviously management is implanting this weird hero worship in your head.

No offense, but where in the world do you deliver where you can do 500 stops??????? If you worked 12 hours a day, that would be about 41 stops an hour all day. Even on a resi route that's a HUGE click to work by. By chance is this a place you deliver like 20 apartment complexes and everything goes to office, hence knocking out 15-20 deliveried in about 10 minutes??? Even on our dense grid routes of old town tacoma, our "dream team" in a very dense area were lucky to do 55 stops an hour (and that's two people running all day in a truck). One of the best helpers we've ever seen (he's my loader actually). But she didn't use him all day, they only kept that pace up for about 4 hours. Think they were only doing about 350 stops a day during peak week. Would be interested to see what kind of route you're doing and where. Couldn't imagine doing that many stops and doing more then a piece per stop all day including pickups on top of that.

call me crazy but most people don't (and shouldn't) work for free...in fact I believe its a big no no because should you get hurt and you're not on the clock, I believe you're SOL for the most part.
You can do that all you want, no one is going to stop you, but its not a wise practice.

I`ve done it in the past but I dont condone it.
This should be an issue in the new contract.
We all know why they say nothing if you show
up early and go through your load.But if a 130lb
irreg crushes your foot during this time.Then it
is a non work related accident because you are
not officially on the clock.
I`d like to see a 10 min paid prep time to sort your air,
find misloads,adjust stop counts to within range,before
the PCM.

Where I'm from this is called AM time and is done after our start time and after the PCM. Problem is the Pre-load sups don't like 'cause it makes them look bad, yet the on-roads like it becuase it makes them look good (this part of the driver's day is not charged to them). Why does UPS pit one management team against the other? Imagine what we could accomplish if we all just worked together, lol.

Lately it seems that our PCM's are being dragged out a little longer and then they are instructing us to code it out as "approved meeting" forthe longer PCM. To me it jsut looks like they are helping preload out by shaving an extra 5 minutes off everybody's inside building time.
