[QUOTE="NHDRVR, post: 766086, member: 10327"] We have a driver in our center that grew up in Tennesee. He started for UPS only after he lived in NH for a few years and, after a conversation we had last week, he went on at length at how the pace of life is slower down south. (South of NH is pretty much every state, lol) We were figuring that if life is lived at a slower place in the particular place you live then, by default, your SPORH would be a bit lower, on avg., per center, since all of the suits, drivers, loaders, etc., were from the same area. Now Tennesee isn't exactly the 1st state that comes to mind when we think of the 'South' up here but my question is; Are there any drivers or managers out there that have had the pleasure/pain of working in a northern center AND a southern center? My neighbor lived in Florida, about a half an hour from Alabama, and he often jokes that conversations took twice as long as they should have down there because people just talk slower. Does this carry over into UPS culture? Also, I have heard that due to the density of area in the North East, our SPORH is simply higher than any other place in the country. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
