Things that make you go hmmmm!

[Richard Harrow]

We had some snow Friday morning, less than an inch. On the road at 910, which never happens on a Friday. 12 nda stops, on the last one received a similar message. This was at 1010 or so. Problem was there is something called Vault Health that blew up are our center, guy next to me had 31 nda stops, most Vault Health. They also paid for Saturday nda, there was a route this past Saturday with over 2500 nda stops with 2600 plus nda packages. Other side of the facility so no idea how they did it.

Just something to keep in mind: Vault Health next day airs are at-home COVID19 tests.

Drop, ring, run.

Provide DNA to some "company" ?

Nope.

No sir I don't think so. Nothing to do with weather. But logistics. Location location....time in transit. Modern plane systems and avionics nullify most weather. Not all but most. Kentucky has some pretty crappy weather.

Nope you're incorrect

Maybe he is a relative of Dave?

Nope.

I'm not sure anything is actually returned back to Vault Health. I've dropped off dozens of these things (mostly to college students afraid of their own shadow) and I've never had to pick up, nor have I ever seen a return.

What does the pkg look like?? Little white boxes like the poo and pee samples we all love to handle?

2500 stops? On one route? Doubtful

Ok, you know this exactly and precisely how? Exactly now. You were there? And you are saying with precise and exact knowledge that Louisville was picked for less inclement weather? Economic considerations, tax abatements, time in transit, expansion considerations, global considerations etc. Wow. And I just thought you were a dishonesty, violence promoting, thuggish jerk?

I wasted my time/money on my Airline Mktg, Air Cargo Transportation, Airport Mgt degrees?

And because it's within a 2 hour flight of most economic centers doesn't factor in? Or a 4 hour flight from 95% of the rest? What about the weather at those places? Is it generally temperate? Way more to it than weather. You think they just looked at a Farmers Almanac, maybe threw darts?

Good weather is part of it. Time in transit(being able to physically get there in time) is the other part. UPS actually helped pioneer the advanced landing systems used today. Avionics. All to work around/through weather. You gotta land.

Nope. Part of it. Time in transit is the other part(among others really).

Calm down honey
They chose LOUKY because it was as far north as you can go and still be mostly below the snow belt and Fedx already had Memphis

You better get some sleep you’re making your co-driver nervous

Much more than that. But no matter. Weather aint it.

If you are a feeder driver the answer to this would be YES!!!

Like I said it was on the other side of the building not sure how they ran it. The packages are covid test coming back. Had 41 air stops today all but 3 were covid tests. One driver had over 100 air stops today.

Yeah figured that out today. Of course someone came outside to greet me on one of the deliveries. Told her good luck, she gave a quizzical look back.

The packaging is a small white plastic bag containing a cardboard box inside. The cardboard box inside is about the size of a display box that you might pull a new cellphone out of. The package weighs less than 1 lb. and every one I have delivered has come next day air. Never saver, 2day, ground, etc.

The most tell-tale sign is if you turn the package over to the side opposite our service label, on the bottom near the corner of the packaging there is a small QR Code label and as clear as day on this label is printed "COVID".

And naturally, ups picks a spot farther north. Probably thought IE also controls the weather like everything else.

My statements stand.

2500 stops would be an 8 hr day for UpstateNYUPSer!
