[QUOTE="Dr.Brownz, post: 3064684, member: 52793"] Here I'll spell out why your suggestions would ruin our job 1) Take away our smalls and [B]tons of routes get cut[/B]. On Friday I had a route that was 120 stops and 150 pieces, basically one small box per house except for a few who got 5 or 6. Now if I had to bust out the handcart 120 times to move these boxes yesterday would have sucked ass, but it was tiny boxes I could lift with one hand and walk to the door. Heavy packages going to houses are the worst deliveries to have example: pushing the heavy handcart up steep driveway. So in this no smalls world there are less routes which means bigger areas for the remaining routes to cover which means even more heavy :censored: for each route, way too much abuse on the drivers body. UPS uses far to optimistic of time standards (standards that are designed to to trick stupid people into going faster than what is safe/healthy) and they already don't take package weight into account so we would be even more overworked and probably have way way longer days because there is no way in hell I'd skip a break to get a done early when I'm getting kicked in the balls at every stop. And again tons of people out of jobs because volume is gone. :censored: UPS their profit margins go up every single year and they continue to be greedy. 2) One false positive and you've ruined the drivers job and reputation. There is a reason we have in our contract very specific and narrow circumstances in which a driver can be tested and they are there to prevent the company from using a false positive to fire a drive unjustly. So please go back to your fake job and let real people work. [/QUOTE]
