UPS old school

You use to be able to smoke in the building too! I remember a preloader who walked around with a cig in his lips the whole sort

We had to cut the next day and 2nd day tags off when we delivered the package and turn them in at night.

COD tags, too. And they always had 7 layers of tape over them.

I always enjoyed putting on the breaks suddenly when making a Left Hand Turn. I tossed supes out a few times doing that.

Really? Tossed them out of the pkg car?

Really? A few times?

 

[quad decade guy]

They caused too many injuries.

But that's not why they were retired(those pkg cars).

Yep

yes to both. It was easy to do and easier to make it look unintentional.

Ah the good ole days. When you could openly hate minorities!

Lot of places white people are minorities.

Openly hated there.....

Openly hated on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS.....The View...Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace....Meet The Press.

To be clear: I did not introduce race into this conversation...

 

[UnionStrong]

Yep

The best thing about those days was they couldn’t contact you, they would call a pickup to tell them to have you call. We had way more freedom.

 

[Re-Raise]

I didn’t close my bulkhead door for days at a time

I did wear a seatbelt

we got beepers in the early 1990's and i;d turn mine off when i left the building and turn it back on when i got back. The damned thing would nearly explode from all of the calls from the OMS

Possibly

Must be an older picture… almost every Glock I see now is a Gucci Glock and is worth more than my car…

Did you have the Mgr riding with you in the back of the truck sorting it…I’ve heard that from some of the old timers…they would fly down those country roads to dust said Mgr in the back..good times had by all it sounded like.

Don't forget about the fur tags...
You had to go into the smelly old lady's house after she took 2 minutes to get to the door, get the fur out of the closet while she watched you, wrap it in the special paper and box, seal it yourself, and then hand carry it into the office. Don't forget to mark your paper delivery record with a "eff" for Fur....or whatever the letter "eff" stands for.

Phased out around 1987. Can't believe I am still working here.

 

[Yeet]

Anybody remember having to pull the bottom copy of hazmats and leave them in a pouch at the back of the trailer?

 

[Just A UPS Guy]

Don’t forget brylcreem, Lucky Strikes and Old Spice…

I still use brylcreem...... me.

 

[clean hairy]

LSMFT Lucky Strike Means Fine Tobacco. (Remember that commercial?)
