100ft?!? We've been told to back before driving 500 ft!! That's almost a 10th of a mile!

People who say they wish they had my job, but they are trying to get their license back, and get a felony erased.........................
Or It must be nice to just ride around all day. When they couldnt fit through the door on my truck.
Or God forbid you make a misdelivery and some yahoo with washers in his earlobes, and tattoos up his neck and on his face, tells you how unproffesional ~ it is when the pkg cleary states his addy. Even after you apologized profusely. Oh well.

Dude walks up to the truck a few months ago, looks like a crack addict. Asks, "Is UPS hiring??" Me, "Yep, it is a great time for an off the street person to get a FT driving job at UPS, except they are now only hiring non-smokers. Smokers are too expensive to insure."
Crack addict, "That is so unfair. I could do the job, I know I could."
Me, shrugging shoulders, "Maybe quit smoking."

They know the driver who ends up with the packages will find a way to make it work. Every day we take their rubared plan and turn it into a highly profitable operation!
Stupid 14 year old PT Supe only cares about getting the packages on some car quick and getting preload punched out so his numbers look good. The extra time and miles later don't show up on Preloads numbers.

At the risk of derail...
Don't those big damn hoop things in stretched out earlobes hurt? It hurts me just to look at them. I guess I am an old man and don't understand what's hip and all but I mean, damn! Just looks sick..
Whoops, nobody says "hip" anymore do they? I AM old!

My biggest was being setup to fail. (I was a pt sup) one time my center manager was doing audits to make sure we were walking the belts. Well he threw a package into a place where it was almost impossible for my pickoff to get a package without purposely putting it there. When I was confronted at the end of the night and shown where the package was, I asked how he got it there and he said, "I threw it in there". Boy was he pissed when I said, "well my employees don't throw packages and neither should you".

A few weeks ago....I had a cardboard tube filled with metal fence posts come down the irreg belt. When i picked it up...the bottom cap came off and several posts fell thru the grates to the floor underneath. Only sups are permitted to retrieve items from under the belts. I informed my PT sup about what happened and pointed out where the posts were laying. I left the tube out of the truck when I left at the end of the sort. Weeks later, that irreg has long since been delievered.....yet those posts are still under the belt! So much for customer service.

At this point I'm just one day away from them pissing me off. I quit every Monday before I leave for work and then agree to one more week every Friday when my shift ends. LOL!
But the plan at this moment is 3 more peaks.

I dont like being given conflicting instructions.
I dont like being intentionally set up to fail.
I dont like it when my management team tries to hold me to levels of performance and accountability that they are totally incapable of meeting themselves.
And I really dont like it when a management person questions the manner in which I clean up a mess that THEY made.

I dont Know AKcover man, I think I am pretty "hip" that just looks painful to me. Years ago my 5 yr old step daughter told me it didnt hurt to get pierced ears, ....so I did, it hurt awful!!

Conflicting instructions drive me crazy....especially when somehow the hourlie's at fault for simply working as directed.

Agreed...it feels like forever sometimes but the years are just flying by....I can't believe it's almost peak again already!Getting there seemed like a long time. Looking back it got here quick!

My biggest pet peeve lately is the drivers that pawn the areas of their routes they don't like onto other routes. Why does the dispatch sup even listen to them? They shouldn't be allowed to cherry pick. If you bid a route you should do the work.
