I've got all of you beat. Here there are drivers that go out ever day and run (some literally run) their routes without taking any breaks but enter a full hour lunch in the DIAD.

LOL. Oh no never. They are just doing charity work by donating an hour of their time to UPS everyday. LOL.You must be making that up--nobody would be stupid enough to do that! well maybe about 25% of every center (maybe more)

And based on the red X I received I guess we now know who one of the lunch skippers on the forum is. LOL
Yep. But until then.... the ones in bonus centers will try and justify their stupidity by claiming they are getting their money back in bonus. Ha! Here bonus is paid at straight time. So it's a pay cut either way. They don't stop to think that eventually the routes will plan the way they are running them.UPS loves the runners and gunners-------until they get in an accident or have a massive claim against them. Then they find out just how much UPS loves them.
Have done this one myself. Late at night , after dark. If you gotta go, you gotta go.We had a dude on preload get fired for urinating between trucks.
If this is true, I never understood why drivers are so concerned about what is going on with other drivers.I have an off route misload, go to deliver it, and pass by another driver. There's a woman in uniform with him. Getting time studied, haha!
Next day I'm swamped with air, they send him to help me. I'm in an office building and see him drive in the parking lot. The time study person is with him again.
I walk out to the truck, he's there, no woman in sight. Obviously, she's in the back, but I say nothing.
The more I think on this, the weirder I think it is. That night I ask my sup "Who was riding Joe today?". Looks at me funny, and says "No-one...why?"
So I told him the story (yes, ratted him out). Turns out he was taking his girlfriend out (in a spare uniform) delivering with him every day.
Why rat out the other driver. If this was an every day occurrence he would get caught sooner or later on his own.If this is true, I never understood why drivers are so concerned about what is going on with other drivers.
I see it on a daily basis. A center manager gets a stick up his ass and busts a guy for having the wrong shoes and the driver starts saying "well so and so has the same shoes etc". How the hell does making another drivers ty help you? It doesn't. Now both of you two are going to be having a tt day.Why rat out the other driver.

My thinking was if the girl had fallen out of the package car and got killed, I would share responsibility if I hadn't reported it. Sheesh, a life is more important than that "protect your brother" BS.Why rat out the other driver. If this was an every day occurrence he would get caught sooner or later on his own.

Punishing one but not the other is a contract violation. Plus, if there's enough people involved..... particularity if one out more of them are management favorites...... they will back off. I've seen it happen.
Yep! Plus, it's likely I've been screwed over by my so called union "brother" at least a few times. There are plenty of guys that screw someone over on a daily basis. That doesn't sound very brotherly to me.
The real question would be which one is paid under, right dude?Or, you simply say, "You know you're right? Hey, Joe! Come here! I was going to discipline Harry here for his footwear and Harry pointed out that you're in violation too! Now both of you, let's go see the steward...."
I think that's fairness under the contract...
