It's not about getting sleepy, it's the continuous beatdown just draining you to the point of mental and physical fatigue and not having the energy to function at your normal potential.

I and I imagine most guys are so hyped up on adrenaline that I don't feel that type of fatigue that I feel I'm unsafe behind the wheel.

Most of the helpers in my center seem to disagree.

Some of you guys sound like cry babies. Online shopping is only getting bigger which means every peak will be worse. It will not be better next year.
1 full time driver's yearly compensation is probably around $120,000. This includes pay, healthcare and pension contributions. So if UPS hired 10 guys, it cost them 1.2 million dollars. 10 guys wouldn't put a dent in the man power needed. So 100 drivers spread out across the country would cost UPS $12 million a year. Dont expect the job to become any easier. Hang in there, only a lifetime to go.
On a side note, Im still only working 40hrs a week.

Adjust your W-4 or you will get hosed on taxes.

Yes, but it doesn't change your tax liability in the end, right?

Depends upon your overall tax situation.

I adjusted my W-4 just for peak and there is a huge difference between! My last paycheck was about $300 more than what I would normally take home.

That's why I'm glad it's peak. Hit 41 this week. WOOP.
