Part on order, ok to drive
Everyone on planet earth calls it a shifter.
the manufacturer calls it a terminal tractor..

My old company called them spotters.

At my hub we call them shifters

In the UPS system they are listed as spotters, so I thought more people in other parts of the country called them spotters... that's why I used spotter instead of shifter

Anyway, who give a :censored2:. it wasn't that funny to begin with and having to go over the terminology made it even worse.

Not a complete waste, I learned something.

Shifting is the best job at UPS. Better than feeders better than sleepers better than CEO.
From my experience at my center and posts in this board I think some would disagree. That crap gets boring after a while. Plus you have a quad decade guy yelling at you in the yard you are being unsafe.

I worked car wash for over a year, 18:00 to 3:00. Shifttahs and feedahs never had a problem.

Lol at the QDG reference nice job. But I disagree. I hung out with feeders all the time and shoveled snow and unstuck guys from Phoenix with my chained up 10 speed. When the 19 year old sup would get on my case wanting me to go faster id just tell him to ride with me and show me how to go faster you dumb son of a bitch. Time of my life. Too bad the pay sucked.
