[QUOTE="ironylife, post: 58318"] ups drivers care about growing their share of the business more than any of the competition...period. We are not given the time or tools to grow our company...period. Drivers relate growing business with more stops and pickups that they absolutely have no time for. I have had drivers tell me that they have customers that ship most or all of their volume with others and that if they would ask for ALL of that businesses volume, ups would be able to get it...but they have no time for it. That is absolutely crazy. Heres volume, that could be so easily won, but management wont put another driver on or run another car....so stupid. Its like danny said, a few extra seconds mean alot to many shippers, but ups wont allow it.Its not hard to understand why drivers who work 12 hour days in 100 degree weather who dont even get a lunch would not want to get extra volume. Heres something ups could do, work everybody 9.5 hours, have everyone get a 30 min lunch and their breaks, and give them time in the day to recruit new volume. I bet that we could grow the volume double digits...AND MAKE A VERY HEALTHY PROFIT. But that wouldnt work because ups would find something else to bitch about. THE SAD THING ABOUT THIS COMPANY IS THAT EVEN IF IT WAS NOT UNION THINGS WOULD BE THE EXACT SAME....PROBABLY WORSE. [/QUOTE]
