[NAHimGOOD]

Survey was mentioned in original post.

Yet...

No survey is available.

Threads wack.

I do. I don't want to work in the building, it's boring. Country routes give you plenty of time to come up with pointless questions like this, though, so I'm askin em.

Watching the clock all day working inside. On the road time flies by.

Either FT shifter or FT porter.

Couple overnight jobs in our local that take a load to small buildings near here, shift for their pre load and bring a load back. One building has three doors, the other has five or six.

Yeah they do that for smaller centers, just have a feeder driver shift for the preload as part of his run. We have a couple outlying buildings with big preloads, 15-20 doors and 35-40 loads, those get their own dedicated shifting jobs. Pretty sweet gig.

Driving really does make a huge difference a 3.5 hour day in the hub feels like an 8 hour day driving. Driving you always have something to do and are focused on the next thing.

inside work the clock is moving in slow motion.

Inside jobs are a lot easier but mostly boring as hell

Probably carwash in my building but the two FT carwashers have like 30 years+ in. Personally if I was a teamster I would go into feeders. However I am in the IAM union so my only choices are different mechanic jobs. I hear the GSE mechanic jobs are pretty good... well until some drives a tug into a plane.

Our airport mechanic always seemed very well rested. Every now and then he'd have to come out and fix a trailer that wouldn't put air to the rollers or some such but that's about it. Usually when I walked by his little cubby hole he was napping in his recliner.

Occasionally get curious about this type of stuff throughout the day, so here's an opinion (or fact, i guess, if you just go by rate) survey question for you:

What is the best daytime (ie outside the hours of 12am-6am) non-driving union job at UPS?

If you have to ask what the best non driving job is, you’re 20+ years from having the seniority to get it.

SPAing crap from trailers in primary

Do what my wife did, marry a driver, same pay and benefits, less work.

From my observation it seems the Porters or Plant Engineering mechanics to have it made.

Are your guys' GSE mechanics UPS employees, ours is a contractor whose terrible. And you'd only have to fix the tug. The aircraft mechanics fix the plane.

I enjoyed Yard Shifting.

So easy even a PT guy like @542thruNthru could handle FT hours.

low seniority hands down it's shifting/carwash but they have to stay a bit late sometimes into the next day.
high seniority has to be certain 22.3 combo positions.

All shifter/car wash positions are full time where I am so all the positions are filled by high seniority drivers who are sick of forced overtime. We all have more than 30 years with the company.

Car washers by far.

In my center the co-chair of the safety committee has the easiest job. Comes in and walks around and doesn't run his bid route. Nice gig if you can get it.
