Here is your defense.

nowhere special
I had many late air - found in load. All you have to do is tell a sup you can't find the air before you leave the building and then later send a DIAD message unable to find before 10:30, then another found in load message when you deliver it late. Cover you own butt.

If they actually scan your car load, as they have many times in our buildings, they have proof.
If it fell into the floor bulk because it wasn't lip loaded, that's another thing.
They've put it on paper here. At the very least, they can prove it was there and if it happens often well you can figure it out from there.

I think most
If you did nothing but airs, it isn't your problem, you have too many airs or you start too late, or both. Every route has a "number", the amount of air stops you can do on time. Most drivers get in trouble because they are trying to squeeze other stops in between. Falsifying records is just plain dumb.
Where "personal pride" comes in play here, I have no idea.

The NDA in question was from an adjacent area and the OP "thought" that the business didn't open until 11am, sheeted it as CLO 1 away from the address to beat the commit and then delivered it when he was in that area. He was probably right----the business was most likely closed and driving all the way there just to sheet the pkg at a closed business would have been a waste of time----but there is always the off-chance that someone had come in early as they really needed that package.

lmao.The jokes on you for thinking just because you're doing a company "favors" that you'll be safe and have job security.

People typically don't get walked on a first offense. Is there more to the story?

No I've never been in trouble before, last time I ever had a documented writeup was 4-5 years ago when I was a loader. And if I had been doing something wrong unknowingly it's never been brought to my attention, biggest thing I had is I mistakenly sheeted a clo between 12-1 as I didn't notice the time but voided and resheeted it correctly, it's our new dm he's out to prove a point

It will be reduced to a suspension, time served, no back pay, lesson learned.

It comes from skipping lunch and breaks.
It depends.
If the company thinks he is "salvageable".... They look at a couple things.
Does he have anything "in the bank" ??
Is the employee, a possible future liability ??
Can we manipulate and "mold" him, in to what we want ??

Chalk it up to lesson learned.
Judging from the things you've said here, you don't sound like you're built to last with this company. Trying to impress your managers with big performance numbers is the main reason you are in this position. Every time there is a post like this, the wiser drivers will try to impress upon the OPer that they need to "do things by the book every time." When they say this, they aren't telling you to do this when you feel like it, or when it's convenient, but EVERY TIME.
Every time, means every time. When you get lazy, or bend to will of a desperate supervisor, you are rolling the dice with your job. UPS supervisors are KNOWN for telling you do something against the rules, then denying it later. To quote the title of your post, "Fired today for something we have all done," is not an excuse you can use to prevent yourself from getting fired. And please, speak for yourself. Many of us aren't afraid to run by the rules, regardless of what management says.
This much I know: if you don't adjust the way you work, you will eventually get fired for good. No matter how much of a pet you are, UPS will drop you like a hot potato if you continue to screw up.
It's on you, man. What are you going to do about it?
