[QUOTE="Big Rigger, post: 4988943, member: 87168"] No one said it was "coast to coast" and that's a minimum one way plus backhauls. Cooking the books happens every day. Running one trip, I didn't say round trip, at $10,000.00 per trip is killer money with very little stress compared to package car imo. He's young and able to run the maximum with an eld easily for several years if he wants to and he was a very able bodied ups driver. The point was that people, and especially young employees will leave for other opportunities with a whole lot less stress vs 200 stops a day under the scrutiny of some 22 yr old computer whiz who can't drive a manual transmission nor can they parallel park a step van. I DSD'd chain stores having my own authority for years and the money is much better now than ever without mentioning the absence of the stress of big brother who can and will permanently fire you for being slightly over the speed limit prior to an unavoidable accident on a feeder type schedule of just point A to point B. I'll probably never forget the feeder driver that was slightly over the speed limit after coming down a grade on an on ramp and after he merged into traffic a vehicle with a couple of young kids ran through an intersection stop light and under his truck killing the driver. The kid was found to be at fault for running the stop light but the ups driver was fired for being slightly over the speed limit. Pick your poison but working somewhere that no matter who is found guilty by law after an accident the ups driver will almost without doubt be found guilty by their boss. Wonder why drivers quit? Sometimes wearing brown and all the bennies that are associated with it doesn't matter to people who, at the least, don't feel appreciated in their job. The fear factor does not garner company loyalty. [/QUOTE]
