[QUOTE="dumbmuthertrucker, post: 1702609, member: 56654"] Sounds like you've been hydrating with the company Kool-aid! Very, very few of us are the "money hungry" drivers you refer to. When it's 100+ degrees out there, no one is going to milk the clock! I'm not one of the fools who thinks that UPS will "cave" and give us A/C or extra vents in our trucks. That's just not gonna happen. The problem with UPS is over-dispatching! In the middle of summer, when the weather men are forecasting triple-digit heat indexes, specialists are coming on the news channels proclaiming how dangerous it is to spend extended periods of time in the extreme temps, heat advisories are in effect, etc, management decides it's a good time to cut routes! Here in the south, when the temps exceed 95 degrees, we suddenly get an extra 20 or 30 stops/day. If UPS truly cared about driver safety, they would leave the routes in place and get every driver off the clock as early as possible. They wouldn't have to do this countrywide, just wherever the extreme temps are. The problem is, UPS doesn't give a :censored: about their employees, they just go through the motions to make Liberty Mutual think they do. UPS only cares about the bottom line, the billions they will make, the bonus checks you managers will cash. You're all a bunch of greedy :censored:s, and I hope someday the memories of how badly you've treated your hard-working employees keeps you awake at night. [/QUOTE]
