[QUOTE="705red, post: 476423, member: 5229"] Lifer, there are many reasons for the 9.5 language, from utilizing more package car drivers, getting home daily to see the family, to not abusing your body to much that it becomes impossible to reach retirement. I understand that ups says they save money by busting out routes because they do not have to pay for gas and maintenance of the vehicles. But the fact it the vehicles still have to have a pmi even if they sit in the yard for the year unused. The only gas that is saved from driving to the route and back to the building typically gets used from the drivers with the splits driving from their route to the busted out route and many times driving through another drivers area to do the split. Ups spends more in overtime and triple time for 9.5s than it would have by using a one year driver to do that same work. We are still a profitable company and this is the time to put in all the routes and allow the drivers to spend more time providing service to the customers and growing the business. Its really hard to sell ups to a customer that no longer has any idea what time their delivery or pick up would be made. Its also really hard when they see 3 different drivers in the same week because the work gets moved around so much. JMO [/QUOTE]
