It is almost like they are " instructed" not to red tag.

Red Tags are for losers.

Red Tags are for losers.

Sooooooooooooo, you drove one daily?????

LOL ... I see what you did there! Kudos!

 

[SCV good to go sir.]

Either my computer is off or that is the wrong shade of brown. Too Techie's avatar pic is the right shade

I saw one of those in the shop today at my center but the light was a lot dimmer so it actually looked like Pullman Brown. Your computer isn't off though, no way it should be that tint of brown even in daylight.

SNL down by the river not too funny. Puppy Uppers-Doggy Downers, now that's funny!

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

The less they can fit in the truck the less I can deliver.

....unless you are close enough to the building to double or triple trip....

....unless you are close enough to the building to double or triple trip....

What do you think the chances of someone driving a sprinter being close to the center is?

 

[UnconTROLLed]

Look what just got delivered...I hope that's for an air driver cuz it's got enough room for like 2 pieces of pottery barn, a handtruck and an envelope.

Funny because I was going to bump the thread from last month, which was dealing with the new Sprinters. I saw these come in on flatbeds yesterday, too.

Probably being hauled off, not brought in due to this. Haha.

Yeah, no thanks.

They're not Mercedes nor sprinters, they're Dodge Ram ProMasters

Based on Fiat vans in Europe, poor build quality but a V6 Pentastar engine

 

[MrBrown]

ac?

 

[Anthonysg0113]

No

 

[rod]

ac?

Yes---they all have air conditioning...............................................................except the ones UPS orders. I bet they cost more because someone gets paid to take it out.

 

[MrBrown]

good grief

You should have figured out by now that the number of stops you are dispatched with has absolutely nothing to do with how many stops it is physically possible for you to deliver or how many packages it is physically possible to cram into your car. They will find a way to make them fit...by brute force if necessary...or they will shuttle the rest out to you. The PDS cares about 2 things; hitting the required Stops Per Car number, and getting the packages out of the building. Whether or not they actually get delivered is someone else's problem.

Until you opt into the 9.5 list

Until you opt into the 9.5 list

Even then it doesn't matter. The PDS's job is to hit Stops Per Car and get the packages out of the building. Period. He doesn't care if you go over 9.5 and its not his problem if you work 14 hours and bring 20 missed stops back. If he is told to put X number of stops in the car then he will put X number of stops in the car. Cleaning up the mess is someone else's problem.
