[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1064739, member: 43436"] I just answered you. It doesn't happen here -- it may happen elsewhere, but it doesn't happen here. The sheet they give the driver has the route's dispatched value, and the allotted time for the helper that's calculated into the dispatch (and it's always an odd number--4.81, 6.82, etc.--that's suppose to be rounded to the nearest half-hour). Drivers must keep their helper for the allotted time. The guy I worked with yesterday (not my normal driver) @$%@ and moaned the entire time that he had to keep me for 4 hours... apparently they wanted everybody in with less than 9.5, he wanted the OT (Christmas for his daughter) but he wasn't willing to take on a late UPS Store pick-up... they've been doing this for a couple years now. Regardless, it doesn't really matter. Giving your helper, say four house stops to carry at the same time while you sit on the truck and text IS taking advantage of your helper (it would not be if you were sorting / setting up your next deliveries). I'm sure most of us milk the clock at some point or another :) but it really isn't a justification. The technology they're using here is better than where you are at it appears. [/QUOTE]
