Big brown, not in my town…

@sailfish nice job on knowing the proper color name. My guess is fewer and fewer people know or care that Jim C. bought that out since A). Pullman denotes high class service and B). it hid dirt fairly well.

It isn't exactly Pullman Brown now. It started out that way before UPS trademarked their own color.

One of the first big cost cutting moves was when they stopped washing the trucks every day.

Every day? How about just stopped washing them? Our carwash is broken(closed) 6 months at a time. No reason given.

They are for the sleeper teams….teams of drivers will work together and alternate between delivering and sleeping. 12 on 12 off for 4 days….part of the new work life balance Carol wants…the 8000 shelf will be the berthing area.

Do they unload you at night sleep on the conveyors and reload you in the morning underneath some tires and hello fresh

I remember in early 90's being threatened with a warning letter because I didn't use the car wash

Waiting in line for the car wash was easy money.

Yeah, they took appearance of both truck and personnel seriously back then.

Does anyone really care whether the guy walking cardboard to your porch has a beard or not?

A neatly trimmed beard is fine but some of the guys at our building look like serial killers.

That's just a ruse to keep management off their backs.
