safety, what does safety mean anymore to the corporate UPS fools? it means disregarding and overlooking everything UPS has preached about safety since Casey opened the doors. Our so-called leaders have sold us out once and for all. open your eyes drivers. the $$$$$'s are and always have...
Anyone else have a crazy amount of irregular packages today.
Resi guy I split my helper with had 30 less stops than normal but. Totally blown out truck.
3 - 6 inches in and around the Atlanta area at 32° and getting colder.
I, myself, am up to snow good.
Schools didn't call a snow day ... now parents and news stations are flocking mad.
UPS Drivers still out?
Corporate employees get their packages at home?
Tomorrow, well tonight actually, a crew of us are going in for 6th punch. About half as many drivers on route but 25% of today's pieces. It'll be easy to smash out.
So instead of hiring seasonals who stay and are worth it, they're giving us "special pay" of $12.50, which will be sixth punch...

does any one know what drivers hour rate was in the 1970s and 1980s..i started driving in 1991 and i want to comparing buying power from the 1970s to 2017 for avg ups driver
8 hour days start back up January 1st. It's 10% of drivers working so after a long weekend volume should be heavy so there should be a high amount of drivers that qualify. I like the look on center manager's face when I turn the request in next week as the whole district is sinking fast.
I will add that...
Anyone else get the helper phones that they is as diads? Haha what a joke these things are...
Management "these phones are way easier to use"
