What UPS Drivers Can Tell Us About the Automated Future of Work

[1989]

I think he meant shaft. UPS gives you a defined shaft everyday.

No, even the shaft is undefined. It comes in many different forms.

12 stops and an hour and a half to do them in? Do the 12 stops in 30 minutes like it would normally take and head in. If it's at the end of the day there aren't any high priority packages left on my truck. I don't discriminate between stops, unless it's a NDA before 10:30 AM, or a SAVER for a business that's getting close to 3 PM. Everyone else gets pretty much treated the same. Bulk on my trip always takes a priority after and even during my Airs in the morning. I get as much of that crap off as possible before 11 AM so I can organize my truck better. EDD's a joke, and my loader must be a pothead because nothing is ever put in the correct location. I have to waste 20-30 minutes a day fixing this awesome technology that doesn't work because humans tend to friend it up. That's reality. Don't give an S about their numbers, or spending time sorting. Brown-up and ride with me if you have a problem, and we'll spend a 12 hour day going over how dumb your numbers are. The End.
