Ups spent too much money on orion so they couldn't afford those magnetic signs.

And could you do that returning to the same spot several times, and get back at same time? Think not. Labor costs are the highest cost at ups.
And rightfully so

Nevertheless, resis deliveries are the easiest part of the job... less stress & no commit times ( like businesses bankers hours )
I been doing home delivery for a couple of years now & as long as I make the deliveries on that day, it's not a stressful situation like air commits
Hope your teamsters get together & squash it before it gets out of hand.
I was close to becoming a scab, to brown up, but driving around in an unmarked delivery vehicle is too sketchy in my rural area....
plus, my state posted their PVDs job listing too late in the peak season. Seems the UNION is strong to push them back & have their inside workers get a shot at pvd driving before hiring off the street. Kudos to UPS in my state!

Took me 8 so you are getting off good with 4... I would have given up a kidney for a 4 year wait

Aren’t you fedex??
I agree. That’s why I’ve never had an issue with a 4 year progression. I waited 8 years to go FT and 2 progression years to top rate. Now it’s a 1-2 year wait for FT and 4 year progression. Seems way easier now!

Agreed but if we can get it rolled back I’d be fine with it...can’t go to 5 years though

Your brownie team is better than the eggplant side, since we're separate opcos air vs ground.
YOU do ALL 3 of FedEx operations, in a tighter area, but, it's a more stressful environment... with telematics and stops per car crap. Plus not allowing GPS units to integrated with your OrioN trace so anyone can cover a route more effectively.
I'm making the best of my situation since having mostly residential stops and area knowledge to do my rural route 100% even while sick with the flu... it's Soo stress free, except for when the weather is icy, I can do side hustles to make up for the lack of comparable compensation
Oh I agree. Can’t ever get to 5

Not everywhere my friend. In my local it takes 10 years to go full time. Then a 4 year progression.
How many drivers do you guys have?

Around 300 in my building and we have 4 building in my local.
Wow. I’m assuming there was a mass hiring at one point. 10 years is crazy
Any drivers(seasonal/ 22.3/ helpers/ PVD/ Etc) will always affect the number of full time positions. If they can do it for less money, they will.

We have a route that goes out between 50-60 stops a day with no pick ups. Awesome in the summer, really bad in the winter lol.
