It seems lately as though UPS has decided to try and get as many of the senior (ie over 10 years seniority) drivers to quit as possible so they can get the young guns in and train them in the new run and gun methods. My route presently has a 26 sphor that includes about 60 business stops. The cover drivers can almost make scratch on it by not taking lunch and paperboying the route (throw pkg on front porch and nevermind the proper DR techniques).
I have 23 years in, 16 years safe driving, very few negative DDFU's and even with sups riding with me, without them finding anywhere I can safely save time, run 2 hours overallowed. Despite all this I have been told I will have to make scratch on my route or face disciplinary actions. In an effort to increase my numbers (or, as I feel, make me have to decide between my family and my job) they have been putting 230+ on my route every day which is 10 on paper and 12 on road. All the senior drivers are getting these numbers while most of the new guys are taking out 8.5 on paper. Is this simply a center or district (Baltimore) situation, a company wide policy, or am I just being paranoid? Then again, as they say, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't someone behind you.
PS How the heck do you get the paragraps to indent?
