[QUOTE="island1fox, post: 574328, member: 4816"] :happy2:I find this discussion interesting and can be approached in many different ways and perspectives. From the company perspective ----it would shock some us to see the real value of lowering miles and delivering and making the p/u at the same time. Many customers claim that they will use the competitors or will ship much more with UPS if they have morning delivery and afternoon p/u . For mid and large shippers --no problem --small--two to three --light --low revenue have to be carefully evaluated. For many years in many different centers ---when you start the drivers 30 to 45 minutes earlier ---most of the drivers extend their day and come back to the barn at the same finish time --to some extent we are all creatures of habit. From a common sense appproach ----which I believe was not seriously pursued by the company or considered by the union would be the following: 1. Start the drivers at seven AM ---- commercial only --segregate resi's. Drivers return to building between four and five.Combo drivers at a much lower rate --unload the p/u's ---local sorts and twi hubs go down early for better preload availability. Combe drivers load resi's and proceed to make later p/us and deliver resi's when customers are at home ---paid send again expense disappears --combo drs return to bldg --unload cars --take lunch and prepare for work on mid hub --Give union real --and more full time jobs --reduce staffing stress and turnover on night hub. Customers get early deliveries ---early and later pickups. Ups --reduces send again cost --grows volume with more satisfied customers. ---eliminates overtime --over 9.5 grievances ---is able to deliver ground residential at a much lower non -overtime rate ---will compensate for additional miles and will put real pricing stress on fed x ground. The drivers get an earlier start --earlier finish. Much less required overtime --both summer and peak season. P/t's have more opportunity for more combo jobs --List will eventually get them to top pay and early start drivers. The union --gets more full time jobs --reduces the headache of drivers complaining about overtime -----while letting ups deliver ground resi's at a much lower rate ---- the stress of non union fed x will drive much more volume to ups --AGAIN MEANS MORE UNION JOBS --friend/T COMBO AND p/t A little common sense with company and union ----- would provide major benefits for all involved with UPS --CUSTOMERS ---COMPANY --UNION AND most of all ----the hard working people . Something to think about ???? [/QUOTE]
