I've known a few people to get the occasional 20 hour day. 15 hours of OT. I never did that, but I did work 10 or more hours every single day between Thanksgiving and Christmas day. Plenty of OT and DT to be had.

That's a long day
I couldn't do it. The money sounds nice. Falling asleep on my drive home doesn't.
You can only do so much
I wanted to do a triple for the last week of peak, but by the time I'm done with preload, my attitude is more along the lines of "I'm getting out of here. And I'm not coming back."
Seriously..You can only do so much.
Especially when you don't like your job.
I'm here for the money
That's it.
I'm here for the insurance.
Wouldn't be so bad if they treated us better, like humans. Forget about wages and benefits, that alone would boost morale significantly.
That's not going to happen.

Leave the part time pay the way it is and put more money into the premium full time jobs. Too much turnover and the state will force the company to raise to 15. You will thank me when you retire.

In NYC, you're probably correct.

Part time employees are the backbone of the company forced to perform more work in a shorter period of time . The reason for turnover is look wages and increase and why wait for state , need living wages now not later

Top PT rate is over $34/hr. In theory it is doable, but in practice, unless you have a really easy PT job, it would be very difficult to do the whole year. Even with having 7 weeks vacation, which would lower your yearly total. I grossed over $2k/wk during December, but would not want to do it year long.
The guy I knew drove irreg trains for every shift. I'd say that's easy enough.

Don't be so negative....it says right in the ups policy book that the safety and wellbeing of their employees are of the upmost importance....more important than anything else in this universe. Why would you ever doubt this??? Time to have a better attitude little mr. Negativity...

Pt cover driver is a scam...and are not necessary since some places don't use them and do just fine... You are either a full time bid driver or a full time unassigned driver... That's it, those are your two choices...

Not near enough.
Those jobs are brutal, with much demanded of the employee.
With those dollar figures, the progression should be much shorter if they ever hope to retain anybody.
Perhaps 2 years?
