Sometimes I call in and ask if anyone needs help. I'm not at top rate, so show me the money one way or another.

Not at top rate yet. That explains a lot.

I've only been driving for 2 years, doesn't mean if I was at top rate I wouldn't still do the same. The more money, the better.

Good for you to help out your over dispatched and under performing co workers. I have been doing it for decades.

Before Orion, I would often times call around and see if my surrounding peers were in need of aid.
Not so much for the sake of more work or money, but just because I enjoy/enjoyed helping my fellow man. If, before we hit the road, there was a driver who looked like they had a bad day ahead of them, I'd tell them that so long as I don't run into any trouble, and finish at a decent time, I'd look them up.
It was however, always understood that my help was a premium, not to be taken for granted. And that if I ever felt I was being taken advantage of, that help would disappear like a fart in the wind.
But, those days are long gone now. Since they don't want us transferring work in Edd now because of Orion. Like a previous poster said, they leave some guys out there to rot til after hours now.

Never know when it could be you who needs help one day. Certain guys will return the favor. Regardless, I get paid more to do it.
Knew a driver who said no on christmas eve. Threatened with 5 day suspension, grievanced down to warning letter.
It's not hard to do that many pieces in 8 hours when you have a big cart stashed at the mall to haul things on.
That's when you use UPS' methods against them. Finish your last stop, toss the Diad in it's holder and get moving. ONce that green light comes on, ignore it.
When I was still in delivery they were going nuts over avoiding "In Cab Distractions", well reaching for the DIAD while driving and reading it are two major distractions.
"Sorry boss, I didn't want to get distracted, kept my eyes on the road". They can't say ANYTHING when you do that. I know from experience.
The op delivered 1000 pieces and was done at 5. He needs to slow down and work tge methods or his employment at UPS will be short.
We have a footer route that delivers about 1000 pieces to 2 dock stops he's back at building by 11am to get rest of his route. Let's not jump on the op for assuming he's a runner burner
False equivilancy
Thats like comparing a mushroom to a cat and wondering why the cat is so much more Active

OK ... how about a mushroom and your brain?
