[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 244982, member: 4653"] Where I'm from the minute you work past 10 hours you are paid .33 hours at 1.5x28.14. (go figure that 3 time bonuses adds up to .99 hours and not 1.00:mad:) I believe this is a fair tax on Uncle Parcel. Who the hell wants to work past 10 hours a day? Factor in an hour unpaid lunch and now you are tied up for 11 hours a day not including your commute. There really is no reason why any driver at UPS should be working over 8.5 hours and they certainly shouldn't be even sniffy 10 hours. Yet we get dispatched with 9.2 on paper, but that 9.2 on paper is from a number in a perfect world. It doesen't factor in traffic. It dosen't account for the fact that on a "9.2" day your package car is packed floor to ceiling and from bulkhead door to back door. So the "selection allowance" of 1.8 seconds turns in 5 minutes at your first stop because you have to fight 400 pieces to find the 12 for your first stop. How is this fair? Management might say that a driver with a 9.2 day going over 10 is an hour paid over, but the driver doesn't have a fighting chance if you are only "allowing" him 1.8 seconds to select a package from a package car full of packages. Now, if you dispacth him with 8 hours on paper and he can walk from front to back in the truck and he comes in an hour paid over then I must say the driver is LAZY. But once you get up to 9 hours on paper, their load is going to be bulked out just to get that "9 hour" number and the driver is not going to meet that standard no matter how fast or good he is!
