What a day

I'm into distribution!!
Awhile back there were a bunch of members who said they were actively shorting UPS. Not a huge loss for those shorting but it could be a some time before you get out without a slight haircut.

@Wally weren't you a short?

No, I'm a buy and hold. Shorting is for the big boys who can afford a big loss.

Today? Punched out at 16:15 and got the guarantee. Lightest Saturday I’ve seen in 3 years
We don’t have 22.4s yet but have Saturday delivery. Still taking volunteers and forcing the rest. We are all essentially unassigned drivers on Saturdays. I like watching what are normally the higher seniority unassigned RPCDs and TCDs on weekdays squirm as the handful of us higher seniority bid drivers start looking at the routes. Some of those clowns ACTUALLY think that if they clock in on a DIAD they can’t be bumped by us. LOL.

This is after four straight days of 9.5 violations though....I am pretty sure they’re advancing Saturday and possibly Monday crap into Thursday and Friday. We have a couple heavyish but decent days Monday Tuesday then peak slammed the rest of the week.
Everybody has been taking a couple days basically in rotation....everybody seems to know that it’s “their turn.” We’re getting pounded and our bodies are beat. So it’s day by day based on how many call out. 4 guys on disability since Covid started. I’ve been forced Monday pretty much every week, called off for a couple, but after a few new guys I finally am above the list for this following Monday...feels damn good when you put hard time in and seniority finally prevails

Dude I don’t even grab the board or look at where I’m at until 1 minute before start time just to avoid that situation....I have plenty of area knowledge and most of the old guys who sit in the office an hour before start time and REALLY make the driver seniority decisions on who runs what....I run all of their routes and do every stupid ass thing they ask me to do on their route and always keep the truck clean....so they all love me and usually protect me from the dog:censored2: routes.

Dude it’s like the mafia in there, same 5-7 15+ year guys drinking lots of coffee sitting right at the board combing over every single route on the computer, and every time a higher seniority cover comes in to bump....they basically have to run it by them...THEY basically decide when we go out cold and who needs to be tested and who needs to be “taught a lesson.” I feel like I’m in a movie when I’m in there

They missed earnings expectations last report and traded down to about 90; so if those guys covered at or around that time then they likely made some money. I dont know when the dividend payout date was, so its possible they paid that, depending on when and how long they had open short positions.
