[QUOTE="FrigidAdCorrector, post: 1485627"] If it's no skin off your back, why did you mention it? It is economical. Misloads aren't cheap to run. Say a driver comes back with your 4 misloads and I have to get someone to run them. I'm sending him from our building back out into town which is adding at least 30 more minutes to his day. That's assuming he's familiar So UPS is paying him OT, which for top rate is going to be 25 bucks to deliver those 3 packages. We just lost any profit we had on those packages because we had the $11 an hour newbie load instead of the guy whose been doing it for years. Economics aren't black and white. We pay guys a lot more than FedEx, with better benefits. Is that economical? It is when they are as well trained as drivers are, deliver as much as drivers do, and still make ridiculous profits.
