Yup, but Unions historically allow people to keep working that don't deserve the job...that's been proven time and time again. It's kind of like a male dog mounting a female dog...once your in, your stuck.... That's good for the guys that should be fired, not good for the guys who actually do their job because the reputation gets applied to everyone.

Going out on a limb here but I'm guessing that Joe doesn't put as many miles on his truck as other drivers do in more rural areas. He's probably delivering more that the majority but in way less time due to distances traveled. And I doubt if distances, package counts, and number of stops is all factored in. Probably just one or two of those.

Look - you're all defensive - maybe you're taking me the wrong way. I'm sure you're well trained. But the company (therefore the shareholders since ups is public) has made a huge investment in you - training, pay, health & welfare bennies. They deserve a full days work out of you. Why don't you have a full route?? You know, a full days work?

Prelim truck time
Travel time to route
Miles driven on route
Stops made on route
Total packages per stop on route
Total packages on route
Travel time back to hub
Turn in time
EVERYTHING IS FACTORED IN

I'm with Charlie on this one. Every route I know of, in any industry is more than 4 hours/day, and I grew up around drivers and route workers.
and the only possible way I can see you getting finished and doing all the work like you claim you do is drive your truck and throw packages out. Maybe he has a package cannon...pulls up to a strip mall and launches those babies out there!

All I know is that if I had to put up with your *** for all but the 4 hours a day you were working, I'd not only leave, I'd probably kill you in your sleep.

You're with Charlie on what one? Are you going to tell me about Ups too? That is funny what you said because they do make that same joke at work. I've also heard that I have all my customers trained and they all meet me at one location and pick up their own packages. LOL they also use the "check the dumpsters on my route for all the packages" I've delivered. Lol
No, I'm not going to tell you about UPS, you work there, I don't. Just my observations.

I just don't get it. How can you drive 90 miles in a freight truck, avg at most 45 mph...that's 2 hours in and of itself! Even if all 200 of your stops in in the same mall for instance, you're still averaging less than 40 seconds per stop. And that's only if you're doing one package per stop.
I bust *** to get work finished better than anyone, and I'd love to believe you, but something seems a bit out of whack. Not claiming you're fibbing, just saying.

Some would rather sprint to the door and sprint back to the truck to save time. Some days I get to work, get it all done quickly and chill for the rest of my shift. Some days I just stretch it out to make the time go by. But you turds just wouldn't understand because you see UNION only.
