Great info guys... I live in Chicago areaI was thinking of applyin to UPS frt...I am 5 mins away from the terminal by Halstead /94.... Don't seem like I would be working much though...
the city super said otherwise so thats how i thought it was . every saturday there's 4 or 5 of us city guys double turning hazelton amazons for several months now.I'm a road driver at hrs and we run for Amazon as well. I did it last year at this time. This week was just extremely slow for the bottom of the road board at hrs.
That's just wrong. I guess it's cheaper to run a city guy with a set of doubles by the hour to Hazleton than a road driver at mileage.
I don't know how far Hazleton is from your terminals but a delivery or a pickup at a customer should always be done by a city driver, that is part of our job. That has been made clear out of our terminal. Of course our Amazon warehouse is just 15 miles from our terminal.
Completely agree if it is to a customer. However, if it is to a UPS Terminal, then road drivers should be running it. It is at least 90 miles from Hrs to Hazleton.
hazelton amazon is rail boxes not pups, only the 2 carlisle warehouses are pups. at least out of the ones we run.That's just wrong. I guess it's cheaper to run a city guy with a set of doubles by the hour to Hazleton than a road driver at mileage.
actually its not,its 82 miles off the odometer from the guard shack to the warehouse.Completely agree if it is to a customer. However, if it is to a UPS Terminal, then road drivers should be running it. It is at least 90 miles from Hrs to Hazleton.
I would say Hazelton is Scranton work,not Harrisburgs work. But since it's volume and Scranton is most likely not as staffed driver wise as HRS is, it probably makes sense. But I think it should be road work considering the miles to Hazelton. It has to be about 80 miles one way. JMO
