[QUOTE="moldsporh, post: 1919211, member: 54834"] OP, first of all, if that's your name, change it now before too many people take note. This should be your first step. Also, sounds like your eager to jump right in, and this could be potentially rewarding in the long term. My only real piece of advice, and this will pretty much dictate your future here and is pretty much an understood company wide area of knowledge....... Don't follow the person in front of you even remotely closely. I don't care how behind in your day you think you are, you will not prove ANYTHING TO ANYONE except your next employer that you can't drive safe. I really don't know how else I can portray that to you. You will not show anyone anything if you get done quicker than someone else, it will only put a big bullseye on your back. Anytime you think you need to hurry up, remember what I just told you. In feeders, you can safely bet that information is even more important. When feeders get into accidents, it generally makes the evening news and people likely get killed. Take your time, but don't waste time. UPS feeders isn't some joke trucking company, real people with huge responsibilities and it's no different than other trucking companies with regards to pre trip, post trip, log books etc. Not sure what view you have been painted by other people but everything you asked about in your opening post, rest assured UPS has the close eye on all that, sounds like it's pretty much opposite what you were informed of. It's a tight knit operation, insanely busy at peak, work safe, slow down, take your time, don't waste time, work safe, be aware of your surroundings, work safe, and most importantly. ...work safe. Good luck [/QUOTE]
