[chris9834]

Forgive me if someone else posted this already just thought i would share. Hard to say if this email was originally generated by Homeland Security but weird non the less.

Just what we need when we drive our Uhauls to deliver, a SWAT team taking us down thinking we are fake.

Exactly bro that and we have access to places the typical civilian wouldnt have access to.

Ok thanks for the research glad to hear. Still though I would hate for this to circulate and people not know the legitimacy of this and freak out when we deliver.

2015 year date and 2003 year date. Guessing they must not have found uniforms from 03.

Don't worry. Somebody will see it, believe it, and call 911 when they see a driver in a rental. Willing to bet it happens at least once this peak.

The Peak after the Oklahoma City bombing we had an Air driver pull up in front of our Federal building downtown for a delivery driving a rental. The security guys were all over him. Even today on Saturdays I know better to not park in front of the Federal building to sheet a stop as closed.

It's more then a rumor.

Civilian...lol you make it sound like we are a elite seal team or something

Seasonal driver helpers are required to sign a form stating that they have to turn in their uniforms or they will have their last check held until the uniforms are returned. This is done to keep the uniforms out of circulation as it is a real issue when bad people wearing UPS uniforms gain access to business's with the intent to rob. This really does happen and more often than you think.

My on road sup and I got pulled over one time a few christmas' back. We were delivering in a huge apartment complex and a resident called the cips on us thinking we were stealing from houses. We were in a huge penske truck.

Can't sell UPS uniforms on ebay. They remove the listings.
