[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1815903, member: 198"] I've worked in both a hub and a tiny extended center (less than 40 routes) as a package handler and as a driver in the extended center. I have friends in the hub. We have supervisors that have also worked in both. The sups love our small center. Even now even though we've become more union minded lately. The various things that others have mentioned that distinguishes hubs from extended centers is subjective to the areas we all work in. For example someone mentioned smaller buildings getting lighter dispatches. Well, my little center usually has one of the highest stops per car in the state. Big whigs seldomly step foot in the outlying buildings though. That is probably true everywhere. Here an extended center is the place to be if you want to go full time driving faster. The trade off is, in certain locals, that you are likely never going into feeders because the hubs have everyone else locked out and are also doing their work. And your chances of moving into a 22.3 are about on par with going into feeders. And most of the smaller buildings only have a preload and reload shift. Many hubs have noonday shifts too. Based on my experience I'd say it's usually better to work in a hub. There's more choices as far as jobs and shifts go. [/QUOTE]
