[QUOTE="musicmajor57, post: 1080311, member: 45507"] [SIZE=3][FONT=trebuchet ms]Believe it, CAFAL. I worked as a city driver on the freight side for 24 years and loved it; that is, until UPS took over. The best I ever did was seven (7) stops per hour; it only happened once. A good day in the city is 3.3 sph on the average. On a tight city route where stops are very close together, you might reach 4 but that's the de facto limit, whether UPS likes that number or not. On a peddle run (rural service area) you are doing well to hit 2 sph on a 200 mile route and yes, we do have them. Some approach 300 miles in a day. If you have made 12 deliveries and made 4 pickups on a 200 mile day, pleasing your customers along the way, you have done your job well. This isn't package and it never will be. On the freight side, the critical difference, in my view, is that FedEx left the management team in place at American Freightways when they bought them, trusting them to run the company in an efficient and profitable manner. We did just the opposite; we couldn't wait to run off some of the finest people I have ever worked with in my life and I knew them well. One of my co-workers said it well: "UPS has no idea how loyal Overnite's people were; and they threw that loyalty away."[/FONT][/SIZE] God bless you and keep you safe, brother. [/QUOTE]
