Union Brother ✊🧔 RPCD
Even management told him to slow down and he still runs ..Slow down if you want to be paid more. Simple.

Whatever it takes to get done. Some days are good and other days it's out of my control. Just try to work efficiently that's all you can do. Too many miles on this engine to run.man ,that’s a runner/gunners dream...I prefer to run scratch. If Orion says last stop is 19:45 that’s when I will make it..(and if it says 17:00 I will still make it 19:45 ) to many runners turning a 11hr dispatch into 8hrs
You’re correct my union brother , I told my supervisor my day is in the hands of Orion and my loader now...the driver no longer runs the route.Whatever it takes to get done.

But Orion knows all ....You’re correct my union brother , I told my supervisor my day is in the hands of Orion and my loader now...the driver no longer runs the route.
Orion is usually horrible on extra pieced together routes , businesses at 19:00 and unnecessary breaks. I no longer fill out the miles/eta sheet because with those service failures THEY ARE VOID AND MEAN NOTHINGBut Orion knows all ....
And when the sky is falling don't use it. LMAO
And then you get an on call and have to go help another driver.....Orion is usually horrible on extra pieced together routes , businesses at 19:00 and unnecessary breaks. I no longer fill out the miles/eta sheet because with those service failures THEY ARE VOID AND MEAN NOTHING
Either way, it all comes down to UPS wanting to pay you as little as possible and work you as hard as possible.
I really don't consider it a production issue, I consider it a pay issue. This is the system UPS has set up, so they need to honor it.
I care when it takes money out of my pocket, otherwise I could care less.
I will finally try to use the union for something for the first time in 14 years.
If they can't fix it, and I don't expect them to, then well, I live in a right-to-work state.
As much as I hate runner/lunch gunners we need them to keep our dispatches light. Often I will pretend to be an on-road supervisor to the new hires surrounding my route. I’ll pull them aside and tell them that they have been running over and need to hustle more..And then you get an on call and have to go help another driver.....

What I don't understand is why the center report is different from the paycheck. To me, that means there is an office somewhere where people are paid to look for ways to move the goal posts when a driver beats them at their own game. I imagine these are the same people that have cut the time allowances so bad that dispatchers are having a hard time getting routes with 160 stops to dispatch an 8 hour day.
Unless someone knows where it is written that UPS can take bonus away at their discretion, then I will finally try to use the union for something for the first time in 14 years. If they can't fix it, and I don't expect them to, then well, I live in a right-to-work state.
Do you get straight time for bonus or OT? If straight time then bonus is a pay cut.
Keep complaining. It won’t be long before your route has a time allowance adjustment and you’ll be running over allowed every day. (Which is why we voted out the bonus system in our center).
Are you a dues paying member?
You’re ing hopeless.Yes. I throw away money I've earned every week.
Means you get back to the building everyday by 4:30 and earn your OT driving home and having supper. Drivers would kill if you tried to take bonus away.They created bonus to benefit them. Why else would it exist?
Slow down and just collect the OT instead. I don't know how bonus is calculated but I imagine it's a losing proposition considering what you give up (running, working unsafely, skipping lunch, losing OT hours, etc).
