[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

today i worked thru my lunch and only had 13 resi stops to do after my 15 p/ups..im hoping i scratched.. sup made me sign something today sayn i was 2hrs over on friday,, maybe because i clock in at like 745 is why i am over so much each day

Dont let It to your head. keep working hard!
Keep your truck organized. dont chitty chat to the customers! and DONT GO TOO FAST!

That's where a lot of rookies make the mistakes.
You pass up a stop or you grab the wrong package. or you only take one package,when the stop has two.

Good luck...dont worry,most of us sucked too,when we started!

Your punch in time has nothing to with it as you are not paid nor does the clock start until your start time.


Resident know-it-all.

ok thx... i guess its just the 30 packages going to each building slowing me down.. lol

It happens,usually when you running....faster than your brain can work!

Smooth and steady!

Then one day.....it will just "click" and you will almost know,what you are doing!

Did you sheet it as refused and then resheet it at the correct address or did you just walk it over and hand it to the consignee, apologizing for the misdelivery?

I deliver to a college and there are often issues with bad addresses. If I have a misdelivery I just make sure it gets to the right person without re-sheeting it.

The sups that ride along on training routes usually cool? I didnt get to touch a real diad and missed other stuff since i had a short school week. I just hope the sup understands this.

Kind of funny, but most drivers would say that most if the sups are out to get you... But the ones I had were actually very cool and fun to work with and pushed me to be a safe but efficient driver. I must have been lucky. Don't forget to mingle with the other experienced drivers and get advice from them too.

I go crazy everyday at least twice, then i throw some packages and magically i feel better

Just throw them where people can't see you. Don't want to be a You Tube star.

No. It's always best to show each stop along the way, even if one of those is a misdelivery.

No. It was the right thing to do. If you hadn't, then the cnee could have claimed they never received it, and with GPS showing it delivered next door, UPS would have had to pay a claim. That money would then be taken out of your check. Some of what we deliver is very expensive. Always make sure GPS shows where you actually delivered it, stop competing the package at the delivery point instead of the package car.


Kmart sux. So does Walmart. And Orion.

Thank that customer for not calling in when you see them.You could also hit duplicate stop for that misdelivery, since you took a stop for it the first time. If you are doing training/ safety or whatever before start time make sure to code the time out in other work section of Diad that way it won't go against your on road time. If you were on the clock for an hour before start time and didn't code it out, you will be an hour over before you even start.

If you're pre recording stops and driving during your lunch to deliver those stops I'm telling you it will cost you your job. Give up your breaks and take a minimum lunch to make your numbers look good. Sort during lunch to have stops close to the front. There are ways to give up time and look better during your probation.

Nova driver I would suggest you take your lunch and breaks they really help you get your truck in order and give your mind a break. Trust me it helps a lot also why are you not clocking your lunch before your 5th hour. Also why are you not getting reamed for it.
