[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 820742, member: 484"] Race You bring up a point that is missed many times. UPS, instead of being one giant business, is actually made up of hundreds of smaller components which have to work together to make the larger picture a reality. Feeders, preload, hub, delivery all work on tight schedules. And pretty much independent from one another. All have "numbers to make" and want to cut time off their shifts or "segment of their part of the business." No one wants to show any extra time, regardless of the time spent doing what was asked. Just like preload and drivers. IT does not matter how many hours the drivers have to work to get closed up and on road, they dont want but 10 hundredths showing on preload time. But they sure as shooting dont want the 30 extra hours that was spent by 60 drivers cleaning up the mess when they sent the preload home early. We are going to get paid, one way or another to do the job. You can either pay 25 preloaders to clean up the mess, or 60 drivers. The problem lies where to "bill out" the costs in doing so. Unfortunately, all inside (non driving) business components or segments at UPS depend on shifting this other work done on their sorts to the drivers, both delivery and feeder. The problem with that is that we are constantly being pushed to compensate for the lackluster performance of those other segment. And to compensate without spending any time doing so. Its a racket. For the drivers, its a no win situation. But what I do have a problem with is management sending out drivers 45 minutes later than normal, not giving any air help, demanding that timed deliveries be made on time, and the drivers be back in less than 10 hours with an 10 hour dispatched day. And they wonder when the drivers fail. d [/QUOTE]
