    Harassment-- "ETA TIME"

    A couple of drivers at my Center were being harassed today about our ETA time, return to building time. Without going into too much details here, I'm just curious what course of action should be taken. They preach about safety and all of this stuff day-to-day, but yet at times often completely...

    Tdp vs Feeder run

    I'm curious why (what should be a newly acquired feeder run) would then get a bid posted in our center as a TDP/Package car job. We've never had TDP jobs in our center yet they've been cutting Feeder runs left & right? Why would they not assign this new business to Feeders?

    Progressive Discipline

    I have this one supervisor at my work who I feel has had it out for me since the day I started working there. He isn't my immediate supervisor but he constantly threatens me with "Progressive Discipline" and just last week I had to sit down with the center manager, him and a union steward to...

    Time Card Viewer

    I worked Friday but my timecard is showing no card. For you knowledgeable about payroll does this mean that the system is not recognizing me as working that day and I won't get payed and once again somebody is not doing their job or I will get paid but that information just isn't showing up...

    Dog hit

    I hit a dog that ran into the street. I stopped got out and talk to the lady. I had no idea I had to call it in as an accident. They terminated for not reporting an accident. I have a clean record with UPS. Is there anybody else that has been in my situation?

    Going out blind.

    What's the rule, if any, on management forcing package drivers out on routes that they have not been trained on?

    Late air - Is this widespread? What's going on?

    For the past 2 months, we've had late air 2-3 times a week, every week. Either requiring on road meets or waiting in the building for a half hour. The "normal" frequency is more like a late air day once every 2-3 weeks (at least in my center). I'm in the northeast. Is this a problem stemming all...

    Article 41, Section 2(b) FT Progression Question

    - skip to bottom for question - I was a bid Air Driver part-time for about 5 years. One of the best jobs I've ever had. Evening pickups which were the same every day, no mental stress, virtually same variables every day, and I only worked about 20-23 hours per week so I could still actually...

    Driver/Driver teams

    Any other center doing this? Starting this week instead of using off the street/hub workers we are using drivers as helpers. For me it's the best thing ever. He not only knows the DIAD unlike most helpers, buy also knows my route. So we can destroy a bricked out truck like it's a 9.5...

    5 Commandments for using a helper (On Topic)

    #1--Thou shalt make safety thy first concern. On day 1, I always give my helper a 5 min lecture on staying safe. That means NO RUNNING, PERIOD. That means 100% use of the handrail when entering or exiting, no exceptions. That means that, if I screw up and start the engine before they have the...

    Why Does Volume Dictate Amount Of Routes?

    Last week during our PCM our center manager said that "volume was down but stops were up" so a few routes needed to be broken out. I go in the next day and look at dispatch numbers and the lightest route had a 9.25 plan and heaviest route at 12.5. For our center that turned out to be roughly 90hrs of OT...

    Is UPS really this bad to work for, or are people exaggerating??

    I've been a member of this forum community for two days now, as a result of starting a part-time position as a driver helper next week. And I was just curious from reading most of the posts, is UPS really as horrible as people make it out to be? Some of the things I've seen people say: 1. You...
