Their problem is the 800# tells people what they want to hear, not what has happened. They tell people to just show up and they can get your package for you

Last peak on the eggplant side lasted close to Valentine's day!... I expect the same this year.
But now, instead of having a tight 80 mile route, I may have to be back to 170+ miles if they let go of the seasonal/supplemental drivers & be out thurr till midnight yet again.
Be glad you're hourly+ OT... try doing up to 70 hour workweek for the rest of the year with 1/3 to 1/2 the pay with NO or little bennies, then you can

I really have a hard time feeling sorry for you. You work those hours because you choose to. I think you like it. You could always get a job at Express and work normal hours and at least have SOME benefits.Last peak on the eggplant side lasted close to Valentine's day!... I expect the same this year.

Op needs, no worries! I work those hours because the investors think having one driver is cheaper than having 2... if peak density is similar ALL year long, then 3 routes would be feasible.
Yeah, I've become complacent with my current route because my customers know how I run it now after almost 2 years on it.
Some focus customers have my prepaid cellphone# for Sig required boxes and we work it out on the first attempt (I clean plate since I loathe send agains)
I have side hustle gigs to make up for it. Being a landlord is one- passive income is key here while establishing equity to use as leverage to attain more rental properties. If I'm staying in the same state by social security age, I will need about 5 properties to enjoy retirement

I ordered a 25lb package ground from NY. It won't be here until 1/4, LOL
Still plenty of hours left it seems.

You really should try to get into an Express station, that way you can get paid better and not have to deal with as much crap.

I'm not dealing with micro management & time commits, just my B2B & focus customers, then straight line towards my home for the rest of the day
Was it @UpstateNYUPSer who said
yeah, I knows we HD drivers are taken advantage of but OrioN knows how to make lemonade from acorns
Just giving a view of the eggplant side to give these snowflake brownies a bigger picture
Happy Festivus!

Do you retire soon? Peak isn't over. It'll be starting again in about a week....

20 NDA stops daily
I got back to the building at 9pm Saturday and was sent back out. Apparently they missed an entire route and was sending everyone out with stops from it. Delivered my last stop at 11:30. Fun times. And I know we still missed hella stuff. Because I was walking out with rookies who were saying that their phone batteries died and they couldn't find any addresses. So they completed like 6 stops in an hour. When they finally sent the message for every driver to return they still had over 30 stops each.

20 NDA stops daily
Start time was 10am, left the building at 11am waiting for the last air packages to be sorted.
We wasted HELLA time with business stops that we knew were closed. Management said they HAD to be serviced, so go by. Then on top of that, the
ty no closed between 12-1 rule was still in effect so it made no sense to do any business between 12-1 because 95% of them were closed. A waste of about an hour with business. Probably the worst day all year for me.
