Extended Area routes to run only 3 days per week?

Most likely you showed up an hour early. Got your truck all set up. Hung out with your management friends. Then ran like a scared cat. (How long before I get banned for this one I wonder)

And how would you know? How would you know if people on this forum actually work at UPS? Pretty easy to pretend that you work at UPS on this forum. A lot of the people around here believe everything that they read on the internet.

Are you quad decade man?

Update: I completely got over COVID & my sore lower back.

I worked as a PM clerk (+ a Sat. car wash) for 2 weeks, and *there is no way that I would ever clerk again* (either AM or PM) for one main reason:

(1) At least 10% of the drivers roll a few stops each, & this falls on the clerk. I always had a full list of tasks to fill the 8 hours, so I am not involving myself AT ALL with drivers who are rolling stops. This is unconscionable, & I am going back to my route away from these slackers!

When I say “roll stops”, the standard I am using is that had I been on the route, the packages would have been delivered, rather than brought back to the building which creates more work for clerks, preloaders, drivers the next day, & management.

What do you exactly mean by rolling stops? Are these stops sheeted as Emergency Condition? No such number? missed? or is it no scan on the package at all?

If you ever work as a PM clerk, you will see at least 10 different ways that drivers “get out of” doing stops.

Anybody has been a driver for two or more years will know all of the tricks.

Some examples, but not all:

(1) EC
(2) Damaged
(3) NSN
(4) just completely roll it, and say, for example, No Adult for a signature package,
(5) building Needs Security Access,
(6) Need Apt or Need Ste when the Apt or Ste number is on the label, but not on the PAL label (and thus not in the DIAD), and
(7) No such street when the street is on Apple Maps and Google Maps.

In all cases, there is at least some little pebble of an excuse that the driver could magnify (and stand on as a defense) if the service failure were put under a microscope.

In the above listed cases, a driver with a conscience would have delivered the package.

There are more! Don’t ever underestimate the creativity of somebody who wants to get off work early.

You care too much. Not your problem. Why create the stress you don't need.

I would have hoped to be in a work group with less weak links in it.
