Future of PVD

[The Driver]

Well, ok. You can do that if you want.
Won't help much so I would suggest you keep your pay and make sure you save a lot of it. It's decades yet before we reach the drain circling imo.
Giving back your paycheck would I think, be an ignorant thing to do. Maybe even more ignorant than assuming one knows the results of a massive nationwide program from just one's own limited and biased view, or that one knows what an entire workgroup one is not part of does with 70% of their time.

We have 2 PVD. We are also 2 for 2 with PVD in accidents in the first snow. Building is charged with accidents. The work that was pulled. Was delivered by the normal driver in both cases. Wondering if they will be around today?

Well, first off, I hope no one was hurt.
If not, that's funny right there.
PVDs are not a solution for replacing a driver group IMO.

Oh.
My bad. Clearly proof that's what all sups do with 70% of their time.

Reminds me of the managers I worked with who all had a story about a shady driver padding hours or such and were convinced drivers as a group are lying cheating thieves.

Well, when you all go out on strike in 2018, I will be carrying my sign down the street, proudly wearing my "original Roadway Package System" uniform. RPS was a good deal until your ill advised strike of 1997. Hard to access deliveries were left in town at a C store or grocery store, we had language in our contract that we didn't have to go down "two lane cow paths". A lot of people don't know this, but Ivan Hoffman and Fred S had talked merger before your 1997 strike, but it had been File 13'd. It was drug back up because of the strike. I still maintain that RPS should have merged with Airborne Express, wouldn't have that snake oil salesman Fred S running everything. I love the Penske trucks that all the ISP contractors are buying, and building schlock wooden shelves in the back.

Wait.
Are you in @FrigidFTSup 's group?
Cause that might make sense.

But on a more serious note - are you sure he was not on break?

If you are so worried about our contract why don't you apply to work for UPS?

So, still gay, but in a different sort of way.

Good choice. You wouldn't even need to burn a break, that would be valid marketing research.

More glamour and less fabulous

Who do you think submitted the idea? First one of mine they ever accepted

I was watching "The Wall" last night and one of the questions was about Tay-Tay. Did you know that she used to live on a Christmas tree farm while growing up?

I did actually know that but am still shocked you know it, even with your explanation

The three choices were Miley Cyrus, Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift.

Truth be told, I had no idea.

"If you are so worried about our contract why don't you apply to work for UPS".

For the same reason that I didn't last as a PVD. I always set my RPS van up where I could get the packages off in order. The snot nosed supervisor wanted to throw everything in the back of my minivan, then let me dig through it. I once locked my stepvan at RPS and took the extra set of keys home to make a point to the stupid package handler who couldn't put things in the right section. Last time that little dweeb pulled that.

LOL. Yeah, definitely not for you.

Ok let me help you out with a couple things.

1. See the word reply at the bottom right corner of this post. Right next to +Quote. Click on that when you want to answer some thing someone said.

2. RPS was bought by FedEx almost 20 years ago. It seems like you are really hanging on to it. It's time to let go. There's a whole big world out there.

Sorry. I should've said no one hurt. One is totalled hitting a tree. The other is scratches from going into bushes.

Both were gone today. Don't know till tomorrow if UPS stopped it or not

“Tay-Tay???......” I don’t think ANYONE on here deserves to hear that come out of your mouth again....!!

I was simply repeating what the host of the show said.
