Either 8 inches of snow farther south or wonderful sunshine and cold hell. We're all screwed.

From world port being effected by the ice, we had some Saturday drivers have 60+ air stops. Jesus Christ

It would be a real shame if UPS stockholders lost money due to bad weather!

we got our air in from KY today. since there was no plane yesterday a lot of stuff got upgraded and while i usually have maybe 3-6 nda on my saturday route, today i had 44. commit time was pushed to 1:30 and we got started an hour late because the belts were still running. worst part was they were pal'd all over the truck. only 159 on my truck today but i had to search all the shelves and floor at every stop.

at every stop? sounds like after the 3rd stop it was time to sort your truck as much as possible! which, with only 159 is cake.

Just barely got above zero today with overnight snow. Wonder how many called in or quit all together today. I make more working PT than these new guys do working FT.

it sucks to be fired sure but it would have really sucked to be out there slaving knowing what a joke i was as a 22.4 in the first place. I would have had to work easily 10-12 years to get full time if ever. then this covid wearing masks in the heat ( or just ever)- i would have gotten fired for throwing a box at some snobby bitch who whined about me not wearing one. but either way, even without covid or rollaway i was screwed from the jump. i was i think number 10 on 22.4 list. basically scum.

Just so you know, if you sort the whole truck and it rolls away, you still get fired.

So far in Ohio it's not been as cold as previously predicted, but our snow total guesses continue to rise.

I had to do a search at every stop every day for 30 years----starting with searching to see what your next stop was.

Air was bad on Saturday and now with this going on it’s peak all over over the next 2 weeks here in SoCal

unfortunately in the real world it doesn't work like that. packages were upgraded to nda so they were pal'd all over the truck. belts were still running for an hour after we were on the clock and it was probably 75%nda including a dozen (on my truck alone) large white virology boxes that were spread throughout my split route with nearly identical tags (1021,1022) and they took the entire floor space on my 600 that already had rolls of carpet, a smoker, firepit, a safe, several large chairs etc. of the 44 nda i had, probably 15 were identical flower boxes, a dozen were identical virology boxes and the rest were all small envelopes/amazon.
