Depends on the Center.Isn't it funny how the ones labeled slugs make more money than the so called better drivers?

Monday this slug was 2 hours under so............you were saying?It's a ride where slugs such as yourself are "asked" to pick up the pace.
I never understood why corners are cut by drivers. I would follow every rule and when they have nothing on you dare them to ask you why your 3 hours over. Play the game by their rules and you win every time.Don't worry about the preload. That's a race you'll never win.
Learn the methods, follow them religiously.
Sign your DVIR every day. Always use three points of contact.
Worry about what you can control. Do that, and you won't have to puff up your chest.
Let UPS worry about the rest.
There is no such thing as a lock in ride. They might pick apart your methods but if they do this then it's time to use other methods. They have methods to follow too. I've never met a manager that runs a clean operation. They all hide accidents and injuries. Needless to say service failures and all kinds of integrity issues. Most people don't understand this game but if they understand that you will go that route it a whole new ballgame.
What is "a fair day's work"? Who makes and decides the standard? This phrase I see often in threads like this, but it's not defined. In the contract, under article 37, it says this, while also saying we will work in a manner 'supporting the best interests of UPS'. Who determines what those are? These are honest questions; they are not necessarily driving to a point; I say 'necessarily' because I do have thoughts on those questions, but I am curious as to what others think.In no way shape or form do we as Teamsters recognize thier numbers period. " a fair days work for a fair days pay" only standards in your contract.

I think I'm a total of 3 hours over in my career.I never understood why corners are cut by drivers. I would follow every rule and when they have nothing on you dare them to ask you why your 3 hours over. Play the game by their rules and you win every time.
I couldn't agree more!I never understood why corners are cut by drivers. I would follow every rule and when they have nothing on you dare them to ask you why your 3 hours over. Play the game by their rules and you win every time.
This is one of the smartest tidbits ever posted on here! Every driver should read this and take it to heart!Don't leave the center mad either, thats part of thier plan, get you mad and will harder or chase their standards to get them off your butt. Stay safe, make service, use THEIR methods, and don't let them in your head
