Ground on Saturday?

[watdaflock?]

if you deliver ground on
Saturday are you supposed to be paid ground rate? Or it depends since you have no way of knowing if it was upgraded or not somewhere through the system?

You're not paid to think. Work as directed.

Got it.

Anyone in southwest region have an update on how this is working out? Are they making utility drivers (full time drivers with no routes) or cover drivers (drivers who cover vacation sick jury etc ) come in Saturday?

 

[YoungBloodDH]

They put up a bid sheet for tue-sat shift. as long as they fill the slots they need, they will not have to force any original drivers off the mon-fri.. at least thats the intention, only time will tell

I wonder what the divorced driver with kids does when forced to work Saturdays? Do you not see the kids?

It's terrible. Lots of lives are going to be affected by this. As much as I hate it, and pray that I don't have to switch, I can't blame UPS. They're doing what they feel they have to do, to keep up with the competition. It is what it is

That's why I say use Saturday only part time.

I agree. I really wish they could figure something like that out. Something tells me they won't. UPS and common sense, don't go well together

He shouldn't have been banging chicks on his route.

Probably not... I had a hot dream about my wife last night....that right there tells you I'm not getting enough sex... Shouldn't I be dreaming about my sexy neighbor with the big breasts???

It has nothing to do with what I delivered today I was just wondering. Someone left their manifest in the truck I used for pickups and was wondering.

Thanks

If you look a little closer, you will see there is no ground. It sucks that Sat. Ground is being started though

 

[Indecisi0n]

Ab-Norman I see 18 NDA and 2 second days...where's the ground?

Not when you consider the alternative facts.

The last thing we need is more part time jobs.

 

[supaalex]

Drivers went out with 130-150 this past Saturday here.

That tells us nothing. 130-150 on some routes is 5-6 hours work, on other routes it's 2 days

Our BA told us the union wanted Saturday ground drivers. Would be a way for PTers to be on a que list for package cars in a way. UPS would not budge off 20$ an hour max for "special Saturday" rate. So the union had no choice but to put FT drivers in the mix.
