Are traffic jams the number one stress for UPS drivers?

Stress is when you're at a stop and a child/children come running out looking for a package thier mom/dad said was coming only to scour the truck and not find it, only to tell them someone may or may not be by to deliver it today.

What's even worse is when you get to your first pickup and see it laying there, only to find out it's been there for 6hrs and the rookie driver failed to scan it in as a misload to take it out of your board.


Then you run back to the aforementioned house, only to look like the biggest idiot in the world as you pop open the back door and all they see it their box surrounded by empty chrome shelves.

No stress, "Hey there! They found your package and I got them to let me bring it to you. I wanted to make sure it got here."

I try to keep my integrity, on and off the job, to the highest degree possible.

I rarely if ever have paid send agains so this would not be an issue.

Not hard to do when you're falsifying deliver records!

Yes agreed!!!!!!having 'MR EDD " doing dispatch is very very creative !!!!! We don't have routes we have only the same package cars!!!! UPS needs to go back to old school load. Charts !!!! There was never a missload!!!!! And stops were in the same location on car 5 days a week!! We don't have to look for a stop at back rear of package car for 1 package palled rdr !!!!

The number one stress… comes from not choking the living crap out of the SUCK UPS who spend more time under the center manager’s desk than across from it with a UNION steward

hey I wanted to know whats the number one stress about being a driver? is it the traffic?
if you guys had to make your deliveries at night with very little traffic would that reduce the stress from the job greatly?

by having less traffic does it give you guys more time to make your deliveries and not have to constantly rush through work.

It's supervisors and retarded center managers the stress me out

You may be on a “simple minded” list…But I bet you don’t go home with your center manager’s spawn on your chin

#1 Stress in my job is dealing with all the management screw ups every day. The rest is a piece of cake.

Once you stop caring about everything that you have zero control over, the job has VERY little stress. Dispatch, misloads, crap loads, dumb 6 stop splits, no sense stressing over it.

Just make your money.

Safe by chance, not by choice

 

[The Other Side]

okay but you still agree that its the traffic thats the hardest to deal with?

Traffic means only one thing. MO MONEY MO MONEY MO MONEY

the slower I go, the more i get paid. No stress there.

In feeder, we call that the "money train" and we dont get off of it to take side streets..
