There needs to be a loser rating for posts like this
That is why you stop and stretch before every stop my man! Also you compensate by moving slower. Besides we have small sections out in the booneys that go quick, 10 stops in a trailer park then a 40 minute drive to the next area. You must be a masochist or something if you enjoy those heavy routes.

With what you said here, you remind me of a buddy who torches his route with the least amount of miles possible, clocked out at 4pm everyday and leaves an hour of bonus on the table (even if you follow EDD it’s all legit and he’d still be off at the same time). But his whole deal is, just wants to be efficient. I grill him all the time about it. It’s def admirable.

Again, more assumptions. For your information, I’m considered a pretty great employee. My supervisors call on me often. When they have a problem and need someone to bang it out, guess who they call? They call Brohn Bron. I’m pretty easy going with it too. I don’t give them a hard time either. It’s not a friendship either, it’s a working relationship. They give me money for bailing them out. Because I’m reliable. So we are cool. As for nobody liking me... so far it’s you, clock, vvv, probably Hawk, maybe some others. It does kind of hurt my feelings. I don’t care much for you guys either. The whole talking down to people crap is
ty to say the least.

I’m not doubting your ability as a driver...but don’t you think for a second that management likes or respects you...any driver could go help and get the job done...the difference is some people screw back when management screws us...you will learn...believe meAgain, more assumptions.

Agree and disagree. Management is like “what have you done for me lately” but has the memory of a goldfish. Not every driver can bang it out. When I say bang it out, I’m talking about going to another center as a borrowed driver, and being done by 5 in the blind with a full route. That’s a banger and I don’t think just anyone can do that. Completely agree about screwing back.

Def feel like a loser this morning. Didn’t clock out until 11 last night. Truck broke down!

And why didn't your buddies in management send drivers to bail you out? That's because they are not your friends. Trust us!

I was already done. I was helping someone else. Coincidentally the trans in my truck got fussy right after I delivered the last stop.

You are right about the lunch, and getting fired for working through it. But as you will find, in your bonus center, people are still doing it. Don't let mgmt. guilt you on production. Trying to compare you to someone who is working/driving during lunch.

I guess management doesn't like him - here he is stuck on the road late at night and they didn't send any of the 6 drivers every operation keeps in reserve just waiting to see if anyone needs help. Yep did it cause they are not his friends not in any way because they might not have had anyone available. SMH.

Not exactly what the law says. Ups wants a uniformed 30 min or 1 hour lunch. To eliminate the accusation by an employee that ups isn't proving a lunch period.
State law says no lunch is required if mutually agreed upon by both parties. (Company/employee). I believe that goes for your second lunch also.

Someone did come and scoop me up. There were only four drivers left on the road. I was close to DOT threadshold so they stopped me from driving at 10:30. It was quite chill actually. Not a big deal. My buddy that I helped was really happy to see me and knew I’d be there for him.
Or be permanently disabled. Seen too many guys get bought out.

At UPS what have you done for me lately is called "constructive dissatisfaction" always looking for more better. It's party of the culture.
As a former ORS I can tell you there was immense respect for guys that took pride in doing a good job and were willing to help where needed to service the customers.
Guys of the "go as slow as you can get away with we're paid by the hour" variety will always see this who come in to do a good job and not fight every minute as management suck ups.
They don't see the times management actually tries to screw you and you tell management to go friend themselves (but in a professional way).

We were only asked to sign a waiver for a second lunch not a first. All drivers should take lunches. Whether they agree or not it is a safety issue and can make all the difference in their safety.

It shouldn't be called your "Lunch" anymore. It should be your "Dinner" time. I mean, some centers leave the building around 10 this time of year and get out to their trace close to noon... it's ridiculous.
