Wait till one of your union brothers calls the dot on you and ups gets fined 60k. They will terminate your employment so quick it will make your head spin. You are t bigger than ups or federal laws.

and we'll be shaking our heads when your unsafe work methods cause to have a roll away,you run over a kid ,you crash the package car from speeding or any of the other tragedies that will occur from your actions. You will be posting in surprise and wonderment that the very center manager that patted you on the head Yday for making his numbers looks good is the same one who is terminating you.hahaha

I have a rural route and I take a half hour lunch.
So if you are a runner gunner on my route, the half hour lunch you skip will be more than made up for by the wrong turns you make, the time you lose searching for unmarked houses and hard-to-find addresses, and all the little "shortcuts" that I know about and you dont.
The only way you are going to "beat me" on my route.... is (a) to go fishtailing and ripping along gravel roads at 45 MPH like they do in the Dukes of Hazzard and (b) to show up at my pickups 3 hours before their scheduled pick up time and demand that they wrap up early so that you can burn on out of there.
Option (a) will result in some redneck hillbilly chasing you down and beating the
out of you for nearly running him off the road and kicking up huge clouds of dust. Option (b) will result in your fellow drivers chasing you down and beating the out of you because the office pages them and makes them drive 10 miles out of their way to close out the pickup that you showed up at 3 hours early.Wanna "run and gun" my route? Be my guest. I dont have a damn thing to prove and you are the one who is going to wind up making enemies. When you are 15 miles from the nearest public bathroom and on the verge of crapping your pants, you are better off making friends than enemies. I know who my friends are up there.

Simple. Take the mess inside and plop on whatever mgmts desk is available and tell them the trailer wont roll until you have new copies.

It's obvious no ones going to change your mind so go and get all you can get. Just don't get caught.

Agreed. Only a matter of time before something happens and do you really expect UPS to cover your butt then?

Hey, expect the unexpected.
Thats an oxymoron btw.
I got charged with an accident because I didn't expect the unexpected. They wanted to charge me with an accident when a drunk guy backed up and hit me and that was the only excuse they could use.

Again...fella's....I get it honest I do. I don't fault anyone of you that can stay out and keep these bastards honest day in and day out. I've tried believe me....and what happened? I get called in the next morning and have my job threatened with charges of "industrial sabotage." You can't make that shyte up! Needless to say, that was years ago, and that center manager is long gone and I'm that much closer to my last day. BTW, I have the best center manager in the world. And that means everything at this job as we all know.

Most who are close are just marking time. When all old timers gone UPS can lie, abuse, and cheat the newer people who don't know very much.

(Overheard in the center manager's office)
Sup: "Muley friend'ed up and got caught working his lunch. He always made our numbers look good and we encouraged him so we got his back, right?"
center manager: "Oh yea, sure. But I have to fire someone because corporate is head hunting because of this so that means me or you."
Sup: " So you're firing Muley?"
center manager: " ***** yea!"
