[QUOTE="ACmoses, post: 3702154, member: 73770"] Truth be told, UPS does not make money by the stop. They make money by the package. Commercial routes are the most profitable by far than any residential route. The amount of pkgs picked up and delivered each hour is how UPS makes the real money. SPOHRs are a metric to get us to go faster. Common sense tells us that the larger packages and the higher service levels on each pkg is much more revenue for the company. We are given an average time to deliver all pkgs, but UPS does not charge an average amount to our shippers or UPS would lose big time. UPS knows it takes more resources to include time, energy, and space for heavier and larger pkgs but they don't give us any more time to deliver them. This is why we are paid by the hour. [/QUOTE]
