Perfect.
No pension about the same time Social Security goes belly up.
I just got an image of Michael Douglas in that movie, Falling Down.

Great movie----he's been one of my heros for a long time.

If I recall, you were 52 when you retired in 2009?
If this is correct, go away from this board and scoot on over to no life after brown. This is one example of boomerism that just represents why everyone collective hates your generation. Which will go down as the most selfish, narcissistic, and evil generation.

The entire idea of a pension is absolute peak boomerism.... pay me to not work for 35 years. You are a drain on everyone's time, wallets, and patience.

Spare me and this board any retort... NO ONE CARES. They don't even care about this reply.

Now, as to actual ups business, you're all too far removed from what the situation is now for any advice, except general work ethic or maybe stocks (but what idiot listens to internet forums about stocks) or FOLLOW THE METHODS, to apply. I could take any advice you could give and apply it to ANY profession. Follow the methods, work safe, show up on time. blah blah blah....

The day of the pillow approaches.

Smart Ass Kid..you don't know who you are talking to...keep spouting off like this and "The day of the pillow will be near you"..
be considerate or we will have @Integrity on your tail..."He Cares"...

I started in the original Atlanta Hub off Fulton Industrial and at that time JC Pennys was the biggest shipper in the state. The Penny's catalog center was Postal Annex 30390 in Forest Park, it has it's own zip code. The shipper number was 322-758, they did have a couple of others. They also had a parts warehouse in Morrow, GA where they shipped parts for just about anything they sold, I used to deliver about 250 pieces a day to it. I was in Forest Park Center, and UPS opened the Forest Park Hub in 1991 down the street from JC Penny's. At the time Feeder was pulling out about ten loads a day and thirty during Peak Season. Quite a few times if I finished early I had to go get their Next Day Air, they shipped all over the world. That catalog center had a reputation for be run horribly, so eventually it was shut down and their work went to Columbus Ohio.

Onroad, Center Manager or @tieguy at right?

He didn’t have the nose piercing back then.

323-999
I think yours is familiar though. They had 5-6 major distribution centers and I believe the closest with stock is where it was sent from. I think @scratch may be familiar with the Forest Pk 323-999(?) Pennys

I remember those 6 numbers very well . UPS made a killing from JC Penney back in the day. I can remember going out some days with about a 3rd of my packages coming from this company .

 

[Turdferguson]

I think you’re onto something. If 10 percent of the people used e-commerce and we used to have 90 percent of it. Is UPS in worse shape if they now have 50 percent share, but e-commerce is now an 85 percent share?

I think you on something too....crack. You been in uncle @Future Mich Ultra again?

I remember getting those catalogs around Christmas and trying to erase the bras off the models. Pretty hard to cover that up. Mom knew then she was in for it.

Center Manager, they wore suits to work and looked professional back then.

Yep, maybe a coat/jacket for the center manager, onroads with a tie and PT sups
pants and and a non polo dress shirt. The saying “why don’t you go put a tie on” Upstate’s coworkers said to him isn’t applicable anymore.

Sears and JC Penney definitely were a third of a lot of routes then.

And if you were ever short on stops.....a couple 323-999 DR FD here and there never hurt.
