What's excessive? UPS was always known as an overtime type job. If you are looking for a 40 hour a week job, UPS is not for you.

At one time 9.5 meant something to the company
If you was working more hours than that, it was cheaper to put another person on it. But that isn't the case anymore with the price of healthcare and pension contributions
