My hub was just upgraded to an all new belt and system last holiday. It's the first in the nation I believe I guess that's why. We don't have feeders or w.e u call them pushing packages anymore, everything is done by machine.
Fired for refusing to listen to sup?

Now I know you are a troll because the term "barn" is only used in the freight industry and has never, I mean never used to associate with a UPS center or hub!
What do u guys call them? Irregulars? Brought around by the irregular driver?
Bs we have a barn and it's where all the e rigs are sent to be loaded onto the e rig. I'm telling you my hub is experimenting with a new system maybe that's why. Where does your hub offload irregulars then?
Do you guys use scanners?

Irregs. Not sure where you are maybe there's an accent making it sound different to you.... they're irregular shaped hence irregs.

What does the term barn have to do with scanners?
Oh okay. Well my hub is really ghetto. Thought load stands were called lull stands at first.

Irregs are short for irregular size packages like tires and heavy metal things that will not fit in a cardboard box. Never heard of a purge or a d.a. but I do know what a smalls sort is. Only worked here for almost 38 years so I am still learning. Please enlighten me.
Just wondering
Ups is testing an all new belt and system at my hub. It was 65 million dollars and is the first of its kind I think. The d.a not sure what that stands for but that's where some labels get made I think and the purge is what happens when packages get backed up on extendos. The packages get sent to where they park and load the brown trucks

Years ago UPS switched our day sort and midnight sort to a Sunday through Thursday schedule. Preload and twi are still Monday through Friday. You unload package cars on Sunday night? We can't because we have hot loads that have to make it to other hubs midnight and then to other centers preloads.

Do you really think we believe the 65 million bit. UPS doesn't pay that much to put up and entire hub!
I think they do because the other Friday they accidentally unloaded a twilight trailer during night sort and the purge, the place where the packages come down to be loaded onto the brown trucks was completely filled with missorts. Unless they were saving that for Monday or something I'm not exactly sure. Might just be a catch up day. I'm so glad night isn't on Sunday that must suck.
Well that's what I heard guess it can be rumors but I heard it from drivers and sups. We got a whole new belt, extendos and everything made by Siemens. Took them all last holiday to put it in they had preload outside.

Especially when there is a Monday Holiday and you have to come in Sunday night. Works out well for Art 22.3 Midnight/ preload jobs.
