At first I thought that was one of the stupidest questions ever asked on BC. After thinking about it probably nothing would be delivered if todays UPS driver didn't have a device that tells him what his next stop is -directions how to get to it and how many packages there are for it.
Be just like the old days. Deliver what you can and bring the rest back and try again tomorrow.At first I thought that was one of the stupidest questions ever asked on BC.

I don't know where you delivered back in the old days -- oh wait a minute--all you know about is car washing and you aren't very good at that now days but "bringing the rest back" was never allowed where I was. If you brought stuff back you better have a good excuse and "its late or its too rainy or too cold " isn't a good one like it is today. Why do you pretend to know what goes on with the delivery side of UPS?
UPS has always been able to track a driver --even if it was only by a paper trail. All during the day you were writing the time down at NI's , NM's and every pick up account. Sure it might not have been as accurate as now but you were tracked. There is probably more lying and cheating going on now with all this "weather delay" crap and false excuses why packages aren't delivered on time than ever happened back a few years ago.
Agreed and I would say they probably road with you more back then---I could be wrong about that but I very seldom see 2 in a truck anymore unless its helper season.

We worked just as hard ---------------and had to actually use our brains------ unlike todays UPS driver.
Rod is correct. I believe that no delivery company any where in the country had as qualified and hard working a group of delivery drivers as did UPS. People used to ask me why I worked so hard, and so many hours as I did at UPS. I said that many companies asked you to work hard, but not many paid you as much to get the job done. That was the same for the vast majority (like 95%) of drivers at UPS. They were paid well, but the earned every penny of it!Another one who doesn't have a clue
Do you realize how stupid you sound?
I've said it before....we are not in the management business. Let every center manager call in sick and see what happens. Every package will get delivered. Without a pile of useless warning letters to justify their ridiculous salary.
Carry on.... You just proved my point.
