The rumors are flying

[MORS HOSTIBUS]

Yes and no. Let mom feed them naturally and put them on a tolerable vaccine schedule, like pior to 80's, and the statistics might reverse.

Long time ago, I tore a roof off that was boards (on bottom,) old shingles, chipboard screwed down, then more old shingles on top. I got sloppy, and was prying so hard the rafter I was sitting on snapped, and I fell through onto some appliances they had stored below... (It hurt.)

And, I still think being hung over on a Saturday air route, when the plane was 2hrs late, it's 108° on a windless day, and your digging for a missing parcel in the back of the truck at 11:45...

Is worse.

There’s a lot of harder jobs than UPS but the hours here and the unpredictability of them is what truly sucks in my opinion. The first phrase they should make you memorize at integrad before the fives and tens is “no sweetie I don’t know what time I will be done!”

Hey slow down, I said 90%.
And you don’t deliver drive, you pretend to deliver drive just like you pretend to be a good teamster.
The grind of doing it every day is quite different than what your candy ass does.

On a side note what the heck candy and ass together?!?!

70lbs. Got damn you must be as big as your average feeder driver

LOL, I'm 6'2" and 260 lbs currently. But I was heavier at one point in poackage car. I've been a littel fella. My leanest was 204lbs and I was down to 10% body fat. I was pretty jacked.

Let me guess- you’ve worked at ups since 1985 and haven’t had any other real jobs. I’d love to see every dumb driver that says this do a preloader’s job for a week right now. You’d go home crying after an hour friend. And by the way 8.50 in 1985 is 24.76 today. Preloaders have been treated poorly and paid worse for way too long.

I used to wash out tanker trailers for $12 and it was no easier than UPS. After leaving that job I worked on night sort at a hub for 4 years, then preload in a center for 2 before going full-time.

You suck at your job. I am better than you. Full stop.

Nothing perky on that chassis anymore.

I’m RPCD son and I do not suck at my job I just work at a safer pace ok? My knees hurt just thinking about tomorrow morning…

 

[PreTrippin’]

I see your point that there are some construction jobs that are the same or less physical than UPS jobs, but roofing is definitely not one of them. I've helped friends tear off and reroof and I was way more tired in one day than I've ever been at UPS...and both times I've done that was a nice day out. Doing that out in the sun on a 90 degree day must be brutal.

I agree with you %100 my man.

I started here on preload. Stop making it sound like it's hard labor. Especilaly nowadays. The label tells the sorter where to sort it to and the label also tells you where to put it in the truck (as long as you walk in the right truck). There's no thought process to it now. We had to memorize all that stuff. It's a dumb job now, no longer needs to be a "skilled" position and get the extra $1/hr we got.

I like your perspective...but with all due respect, I feel as tho the company has put more on loaders over the years. More pieces, more trucks, more pieces per hour, all that.

I think they called this ‘deskilling’

 

[BigBrown87]

How will ye olde pension be doing with way less contributions going in?

The Central is fully funded by UPS so I think we'll be fine.

 

[burrheadd]

That’s close enough. Our center only builds loads to the 2 other buildings in shorts and to the ground hub 150 miles away. There’s a lot of volume that gets delivered in this city between our 3 centers. There’s no way they would shut us down. Only 1 center builds loads to other cities.

lol ohh-k

Try a three or four car pick. It’s brutal.

That’s your own fault easiest way to fix it is work safer

Plus if it gets in trouble we’ve always got that west coast pension to raid if needed
