If you guys are routinely staying out that late then that means your center has a crappy plan for Peak. On average the drivers in my center have been getting in two hours earlier than that every since the peak debacle three years ago. Yes, there is a few late days here and there but I'm talking about averages here.
Here the problem, as it has been for the last 100 years, continues to be that UPS always seems to forget that peak season is coming. The first couple days after Black Friday are always a mess as a result

The company hasn't adjusted their plan to reflect the early volume spikes. Used to there was a pretty steady line up in volume from thanksgiving til the 18-20th of December. Then a drop off.
Now in many places there are huge volume swings from one day to the next. With the week after Black Friday matching peak week volume wise.

Does the label say sig required?
Look out the window. If you feel you are in so much danger you need a gun you shouldn't open the door. You are mentally challenged if you do that. I shoot guns all the time but that is just idiocy.
If a customer points a gun at me or makes even the slightest threat or insinuation of violence they get to pick there
up every day from now on. Dudebro or whatever that management stooges name got it right for once in his life (but still failed to acknowledge it is ups' s fault)

I would have my wife answer the door with just me out of site with a gun
But really no matter what 10pm is too late , by that time I Am in bed and you come knocking
You can still knock around 8 because most are still up , by 9 you should only knock if you see movement after 930 give it up

Uh... I wouldn't want my wife anywhere near the door.
To many things can happen. Who's to say he just doesn't shoot the first person that opens the door. He could also grab her and keep her close now he has a shield and hostage.

Granted , but with all those it doesn't matter if it was a man
He could shoot me and do whatever to my wife and family , he could grab me and hold me hostage and do things to my wife and family

Agree. I guess the reason is I'd rather my wife have a chance to get away.

In some parts of south Florida including Miami, this happens more than you would think. There are some neighborhoods you just shouldn't be in after dark in some places

Ya bacause ups trucks especially during peak park directly in front of your house right?
Look out and see a sketchy guy with a vest on.
No truck no uniform... smells like crime

Oh believe me when I say out of site doesn't mean there isn't a gun pointed at that person until I know what the situation is
My wife knows to drop to ground if anything becomes a threat in that situation
If anybody actually comes in the house she knows to get out the window and my boys know to go out the window and to meet on the side of the house and had to the street

So you'll knock at 11pm but won't wear your uniform?
I thought you follow the rules.
