Imagine being the wagon driver. All he does all day is drive the UPS guy from stop to stop. He probably doesn’t even touch a box.

Turn here, park here no not there

The cargo wagon is called a dray, the drayman who drives it is not a UPS employee. Usually they roll with 2 helpers per wagon in the summer months. Don’t think we provide service to the island once the ferry stops running when the lakes freeze, you have to pick it up somewhere in St Ignace. They allow snowmobiles in the winter months, many use them to cross the ice bridge that’s formed and marked with discarded Xmas trees to run to St Ignace for supplies in winter. Otherwise the only way on/off island is by plane in the off season. There are people that scoop up the horse droppings in the downtown area of the island and the streets downtown are sprayed down early every morning. Whenever I’m up there visiting friends I always take my bike with fenders to ride, cause it really can get nasty on the roads outside the downtown area when it rains.

If I had that route I would call the drayman

Anybody know what's up there?

I have some friends wanting to live the life of backwoods MI, but they also need benefits and such.

What centers or even hubs might be up there?

Alriiiight.
Look, Wilbur... There is no way in hell, anyone is going to accept a bunch of Compton (where you claim to be,) people up there. If they don't run afoul of the pervasive gangs in the Detroit\Flint areas, they definitely will run into these types, especially up there...

I love the confusion I've sown.

There are lots of customer centers that are not centers or hubs.
Just customer centers.

Searching for package handler jobs is more unique to hubs and centers.

Not everyone in the UP will have jobs listed, and the vast majority of the jobs listed aren't in the UP.

But thanks.

Does the drayman set the parking brake or the UPS employee? Asking for a fellow former coworker @11.19igrad .

I work out of Houghton.
Small center, 30 drivers. Our division is three centers in the Western Yoop. Iron Mountain, Bessemer and Houghton.
Escanaba is a hub...Marquette is a slightly bigger center, like 40 drivers. Out east there's Rudyard.

PM if you want more juice.

That's actually very helpful. Thanks.
I know Rudyard had been mentioned by him, and I'd have never guessed Escanaba was a hub. Very interesting.
