Message said,did you honk your horn at the last stop?

Reply= no should I go back and honk my horn?

We had one "Did you drink your daily serving of milk today?"

Driver responded "Yes. But its so hot out. Was a terrible choice."

I laughed for a good 20 minutes over that one.

Of course, you cannot answer messages on the Diad while driving, so you gotta pull over somewhere to reply.
I would just have to reply with "I will be over my planned day due to the down time replying to your Diad messages"

Yes but $13.50/hr is still more then $00.00/hr. We all went through it. Easiest money you will ever make at UPS.

I was classified as an air exception driver , started at $10/hr in 1986 . During my p/t driving career I only received one raise of $1.66 , topping out my rate to $11.66 .
I stayed at that rate until taking a year 1 combo job .
Irony was that I trained new drivers who made more than I did . And yes I did grieve it .

"Every additional request for my ETA will add ten minutes to my ETA..."

"Every additional request for my ETA will add ten minutes to my ETA..."

One time I was having a bad day and got the ETA question and I replied with "I dont know yet, depends on how many more asinine messages I have to waste my time reading."

 

[wayfair]

Sometimes if I'm having a bad day I'll put response required on there for stuff like that. The responses are priceless.

I wonder how much that costs$$ UPS to send/receive all those messages.

 

[Brownslave688]

New flavor here is bombing us with 'response required' messages at or around 18:00...

For example, "LIST TWO IN CAB DISTRACTIONS".

Um, for starters, this idiot message?

Will contact ASAP.

 

[box_beeyotch]

Will contact ASAP.

I'd send a message back saying "the erection I got from the smoking hot Secretary at my last stop is a huge distraction right now, pun intended " ...and then call my BA right afterwards and tell him to be prepared because I'm more than likely about to be terminated LOL....I wouldn't actually do this but it makes me laugh thinking about it.

You really want to reach for the stars don't you?

No the stars are out of reach. Im just reaching for a fair day's pay

Called a co worker of mine as I was getting off, he had only been up an hour. Made 200.00 before he even ate cereal. We had some staffing issues today, not enough folks volunteered.
