Glad you noticed that Tony. I wonder what that day was like for Frank. I was out on comp awaiting surgery and had to run, LOL, I mean hobble down to a Dr in Ft Lauderdale for a surgical consult. My wife and our newborn daughter (now 8) were home with me. My wife woke me up when the first plane hit. It's still surreal to this day.Hi Frank and welcome to the BrownCafe! Interesting day to get hired bet you didn't get much work done that day...
I think this is a good idea for a thread. Now that we're approaching 10 years after. How about it, anyone want to start a where were you thread?
Yeah...It certainly was a surreal day, hard to believe it was happening and hard to believe it really happened at all. I think your idea of a "where were you" thread is a good one. We did just pass the 8 year mark and we don't have to wait for 10 years..
When it has been 10 years it will actually be 9/11/11, double trouble I hope not! Spooky if you ask me...Happy Halloween!

Re: Dress Code
Why don't you simply ask them where they got them? There is probably a private vendor who is personalizing and selling the hats to the drivers. We have a local vendor who has been embroidering brown sweatshirts/hoodies with the logo. These are not authorized uniform items but our mgt team looks the other way when the guys wear them.

Re: Dress Code
Beware of buying that stuff. About the time you think you have got yourself "looking good" someone will make one of those famous management decissions and not allow you to wear it. I know a driver that was given a warning letter because he kept wearing a brown stocking cap that said UPS on it that his grandma had made for him.------------------ (yes, I still have it)
