22 and a half years as feeder driver. ( 34 total years as a truck driver ). Was hired off the street.
Transferred into Sparks , NV for last 17.

Always clean, uniforms spotless.

Always took safety and the work seriously. My biggest fear was getting into an accident and hurting someone. I was big on safety. Watched all the films they had. Was on safety committee.

Was driver of the month one time. Got a plaque and special parking spot near the guard shack for that.
Was very proud of that.

Was proud to do the best job I could. My hero growing up was Lou Gehrig. I wanted to come to work every day
and give 110%. Of course it was not always the case. In the winter we sometimes had to chain both ways over Donner
Summit 2-3 sometimes 4 days in a row and that can make you pretty tired.

But I tried.

The last year I was a driver mentor. Took the new drivers on a ride along after they had an accident. I always thought that was
one the smartest things UPS at my hub implemented. My center manager knew it was better to have an experience driver do this
rather than an on road supe that only had some training in Chicago.

The center manager ( a very good guy ) asked me not to retire as this program was doing so well but it was time to hang it up.

I'm just sad on the direction UPS is going....

I'm sure you can understand why people question your experience with UPS.

It's almost "to good.... to be true".

To be honest, a lot of Amazon drivers I’ve seen have a better appearance than most of the guys at my center. Half of our roster looks like Jesus Christ, if he were a tattoo artist instead of a carpenter. Only a handful of us are clean cut, basically just me and the old timers. It seems UPS is so desperate for workers that they’re recruiting people right out of soup kitchens. It is what it is I guess. For my customers nothing has changed, still the clean shaven UPS guy in a pressed uniform stopping by at a relatively consistent time every day.

wait until you retire. you won't like seeing the company going down the tubes.

We were the gold standard. I liked the way people treated me when i walked into a business with my uniform on.
After retiring i was offered at least 10 good jobs in the first couple years.
Business pros knew we were the best employees.

Now it's an embarrassment.

And that is good to hear. (For some of us- that you live by the original appearance standards).

Speaking of homeless guys, I got talked to by a "working homeless" guy who was giving me crap about UPS's starting pay. I guess when you can't even attract homeless workers who are looking for work, you must be in trouble.

I haven't read every post. and maybe it is another thread.

sorry. no need to attack me. I did work for UPS for almost 23 years. 99% feeders so you're a little right. I don't know so much about building and package work.

after the 97 strike when things got real slow the following year i went into package for a short time. of course being new to it I was slow and customers would complain. well after a couple complained I told a couple of them "you know you can always use FedEx."

well that got back to the office and they called me in to explain I should not say that. i told the supe that I don't take crap from them so why should i take crap from customers? they were rude so I reacted in kind. I wasn't in package very long. sent me back to feeder.

when forced to work package I was always late with next day air ( not on purpose . just did not know the routes ). customers would complain and Id tell them to ship fed ex.

get back to building late and supe would be waiting telling me i couldnt tell people to shipfed ex. I'd say people were rude soI'm rude right back.

got sent back to feeder.

Where is the pride?
You all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Tats, nose rings, lip rings, ear rings, scraggy beards and hair, shirt tails hanging out, dirty uniforms and shoes.......

a couple years from now the company will allow drinking and drugs just to fill the ranks.

Looking like this affects your self esteem. Your life will suffer in the long term.

Keep clean.
Uniforms clean and pressed
Have some pride in your job.


Just because what's her name and the company doesnt give a flying friend anymore doesnt mean you have to lower yourself
to THEIR low standards.

Champions in life set their own high standards and always strive to exceed them.
