UPS old school

[Whither]

I loved idiots that wanted to open a COD before paying! Not!

Yep. I think it's funny that people think they can just complain and "get me in trouble". They don't know that 1. UPS is mainly concerned about the shipper, not them as consignees, and 2. we're union employees, we gotta cross serious lines to have our jobs put in jeopardy.

What keeps you here then? Are you afraid you’re gonna die when you retire? Are you an anti-fun person? Don’t you have any places you’ve never gone before?

Everyone's situation is different. I am not even 60 yet. Do you have disabled parents or children that you care for? Have you done the math on how much it takes to retire? My pension is far less than the drivers in the west. My relitives tend to live very long lives...Grandpa was 103.

So it isn't as easy as just saying 30 and out. I don't want a job in retirement.

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

When I worked the sort aisle we would all work without shirts. All dirty and sweaty. Like men!

When men were men

and so were the women

Bravo.

I would be curious what some of these clowns lives are really like. Talk is cheap.

I'm only 59...just turned. Staying about 3 more years will pay big dividends for me. While making $100k. Free insurance.

Gonna tell everyone about it until someone says they care.

Well played, kind sir. Well played.

I had this made back in 1995 when I was a proud UPSer. It is made from one wire with the exception of the ribbon tie. Cost $29

It’s about 1”x1-1/4”

The old trucks had brackets for a jump seat, but you had to get one and put it in, could be a real pain. Usually just stood up.

I forgot about that! I remember having to go search for a jump seat or steal one from another truck.
They folded down instead of up like they do now. Sometimes they would collapse out from under you if you didn’t make sure the hinge was locked open properly

When the only engines were inline 6, and any issue was simple to fix.
Unlike the engines today that have a myried of computer modules to try and diagnose.

Supervisors standing inside the bulkhead door while training You how to use a helper

At least they actually used to train us on how to do that. They threw me out in the woods in a rental with a 100 pound ugly chick who said about 4 words the whole 3 three weeks. She stood around so long because I had no idea wtf I was doing with a helper
They sent a brand new guy out with 300 stops and a first time helper, he had no idea what a “helper” even was since he was on off the street hire. That one took a 10+ driver rescue to finish up, we had a good laugh at that one. The horror in the kids eyes as he was scrambling trying to divvy up the pkgs in a way that made sense. And the best part is the old guys getting pissed at him cause it’s peak and he has no clue what he’s doing.
Good times

No? You can’t.
