Need Drivers

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

That's ok, little lady, the boys will take care of it for you.

Honestly I just dont like to drive. weather I'm at work or at home.

People do not know how how to drive and it gets on my very last nerve!
Thats why I don't want to be a feeder!

It won't be long before feeder drivers will be eliminated.

Holding my breath.

Either way I'll be long dead before that ever comes to viable fruition.

One thing is for sure- no other job makes people give up what a UPS employee does. Nobody else misses soccer games, dance recitals, tucking kids in, and nobody else has to work every weekend. The place is awful.

I hope this is sarcasm. Lots of jobs force people to miss stuff.

It is pure sarcasm with a message.

And you end up with all the PT crack heads who are now FT crack heads.

That is a total unfair comment, some are on meth.

I apologize for that comment. It was made without thinking. Some have cleaned their act up and went into driving and are doing great. Have their own route and everything.

How many PPH could a tweaker do?

Sounds like a winner for the company.

I wonder why it is so hard to find drivers to deliver packages it's not that it's really that hard. It's the amount of stops plus packages cramming it down our throats keeping us out there late then the next day tell us we suck and threaten our jobs it would be great if we got a pat on the back.

These newer drivers we have at our center can't find 2nd gear, let alone 4th or 5th. But they miraculously make it through their 30 days. I don't think management has the gumption to send them back to part time. They'll just deal with the headaches that come with them. Glad I'm closer to the end than the beginning. I'm tired of cleaning up after them.

We still have stick shift vehicles?

I never drove a power steering UPS PC until 1997.
I delivered out of several P-1000s and at that time, that was the sweetest PC I had driven.

Yes, along with lap belts.

Been here over 20 years and I'd say 70% of my co-workers hate the job. I don't know what they thought it would be like, but overtime is part of this job( though not excessive ), they all bitch about the hours, yet won't get on the 9.5 list. It's not going to get any better, stops per car is the new rule now.

I tell 'em all to get on the 9.5 list. I tell them....."if they won't fix the problem then you may as well get paid." Also they don't realize they aren't going to fix the problem if only 5 of 60 drivers are filing. But if 40+ of 60 file then there must actually be a problem.
