Simple hacks for the UPS driver - On topic please

[Distracted driver]

I'd like to start a thread to share simple "hacks" that could make things easier for drivers. Here are a few that I have come up with during my 28 year career.

This is the "zip tie Mag Light holder." All you need is a zip tie and a Phillips head screwdriver to solve the problem of keeping your flashlight handy. The location may vary according to the model of truck you drive but the idea is the same.

If you use the diad pouch and hate how short it is or how it makes you bend your elbow weird to use it

Take another pouch and cut the pouch part off and use the belt part to extend your pouch it will lower your pouch down and put the diad right at arms length and make it easier to put in and take out

My truck is a 2006 Freightliner with about 300,000 miles. It gets washed about 3 times per year.

My hack. These rubber snubers also work great on the dr bag holder as well.

I like to tie a thin rope between the e-brake aND driver side hand rail so I don't have to reach for the brake at every stop and just yank the rope.

You obviously have never seen a 1977 era package car.

Any feeder hacks?!?

Any feeder hacks?!?

there is another thread for that. search "ask a feeder..." some good advice there.

 

[Over disciplined0123]

I seen helpers will be able to use thier cell phones to deliver this peak. Lol. What happens when it drops and breaks will Ups pay for screen replacement. I’m sure that will be a stipulation and have to sign a waiver

in feeder everything in the cab has to be secured or put in a box on the catwalk behind the cab.

you are right, bungees, zip ties, duct tape, are all good friends to have.

several drivers have been killed ( none UPS ) when they had a rollover and tire chains hit their heads.

DOT told us that but they very rarely if ever enforce that. it's just good common sense.

Things strapped to the deck can be considered dangerous and if at an inspection station. You can be sited.

Any feeder hacks?!?

Go easy on the donuts the first couple weeks

Order a new belt and pants minimum 44 waist

Learn some cb talk

Make sure your butt crack is showing when your climbing into a tractor

Don’t even acknowledge the pos package drivers
