Took the bypass trailer to a wrong hub

[Kkool]

Hopefully you were supposed to bring it here and we end up being lighter today

Lol

Are you a temp or a FT feeder driver? If you’re not a temp you'll get a warning letter.

FT feeder

 

[Kkool]

Did you get the proscribed route

No. It was a set route. I am a cover driver and I bid thia route for this week

 

[Kkool]

You’ll be fine. Just don’t make it a habit and make sure you know exactly what you’re doing. Don’t be in a hurry.

Thanks man. This never happened before and I just can't believe I really did it.

All of us make mistakes. The key is to not continue to do it, and to put a lot of time in between ever doing it. You get paid by the hour slow down. Make sure you know what you’re doing. Good luck

And welcome to Brown café

I'm gonna go with neither. How fast did they move it? If it made service, you'll just get that talk with the sup you already told.
You won't get fired...

If it missed service, that's thousands of late packages. Upper management will hear about that.
You still won't get fired.

This.

That's right. I'll keep that in mind. I'm new to UPS only with this company for 3 and half years. Thanks for your heads up

This.

OK. then it won't make my weekend too bad.

I've seen it happen plenty of times. As long as it makes service you'll likely barely even hear about it. One time I'm picking up a container at the railyard, dispatch sends me # 601xxx I take it 5 miles down the road to the building it goes to, go back for another and to my dismay while looking for that trailer I come across the number I thought I just took to that building...WTF? So now I'm sweating bullets because I was sure the paperwork on the one I took went to that building. Now I'm second guessing myself. So I call dispatch and explain what's up....well apparently the one I took was (8 instead of 0). Both went to the same building and now dispatch knows why the other guy is calling saying he can't find his trailer.

Listen brother, I hope it’s a warning letter. Probably depends on if you have messed up before or have any discipline on file. My point was, if you paid me $44 an hour to bring something to your house from the store but I took it to a house in another county, would you still pay me?

Short answer yes we bring things to the wrong house all the time

 

[muthatrucka]

I don't know the rules how would I know?

Rules? There are no rulesssssss. Warning letter, happens all the time.

 

[finaddict]

Ive done it but it made service and nothing more was said. Warning letter is possible but if it wasnt a trailer full of air, you should be fine

Our Union Steward got in a pissing match with our Division Manage so the DM decided to ride with him. Long story short- driver took off in the wrong direction on his rural route (he had been running vacation routes) and didn't notice it for like 30 miles. Thirty miles out he had to turn around and tell the DM he screwed up. No---he didn't get fired.

A feeder in a hurry?

I was on a route that normally takes a bypass load up to a hub Monday through Friday. Here's the thing Monday through Thursday is one hub, but on Friday I suppose to bring it to a different hub but I just didn't double check I have to take this load up to a different hub so I took it to the hub that I went these days instead. I dropped and left. On my way back they called me asked where did I dropped my load, by that time I realized I was at the wrong building. They said they gonna move it and probably will let my supervise know. So I called my supervisor in advance let he know what I did, I explained everything and said he understands will talk to me on Monday. Will I get a warning letter of this or I will got fire?

Yikes. Fortunately they had someone to move it. I’m guessing the hubs are close enough that it isn’t a big deal.
Discipline is a crapshoot lately. Don’t make it a habit and be cool when you’re talked to. Keep us posted.
