[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 2417355, member: 50088"] Yes, technically it is more efficient to be shut down than to open and be running less efficiently. Also remember that both Monday and Saturday now running partial driver staffs yet the building needs to run as if they are full driver shifts (OMS and management staffing). There's probably going to end up being a lot of 6 day punches because of issues with driver scheduling meaning a lot more OT payout. The main thing I keep pointing out though is the mileage vs stops/volume ratio. That IS going up in the mileage column = less efficient. Why does UPS pay so much attention to Sporh? Because it's an important efficiency metric. Sporh will be way down Sat and Mon. I'm not saying we're not going to make money it will just be a lot less margin on Mondays and Saturdays. Look at it this way. Would you work a 6th full day at UPS every week for half your regular pay rate? No? Why not? You're still making money aren't ya? [/QUOTE]
