The heat where I am is downright suffocating and deadly when you shut that bulkhead door. And even when you don't. Digging for packages can make your head spin.

There'd have to be a real crime problem for me too keep that door shut while I'm in the back.

If it came down to being hot or being robbed I would choose being hot.

I thought you said you were security detail in the military and no would get pass you get on the base or equipment?

No. What I said was I did perimeter security at a C-141 crash site in Sicily.

My regular job was putting gas on airplanes.

Like any other topic on this forum. They get beat to death but keep getting back up for more.

I think what he is saying is UPS drivers should have some form of protection against violence. But judging by your response you have ate up a lot of liberal propaganda and believe the government should take everyone's guns. I know I'm right

I can assure you if the owner of the company is liberal or conservative they do not want you having a gun on the job under their name which is totally different than what you do on your own time. The lawsuit amounts could be astronomical if a bad situation happened and it would. The cost of such payouts would be much more than your worth to them. You aren't right though, far from all liberals are against all types of guns, some are but it's a much smaller number, some don't even worry themselves about guns at all. I like to believe this isn't news to anyone.

Wait a minute......
You told us the Air Force only takes the most intelligent applicants?

I bet I could do your job without any training:
1) ground A/C with grounding cable;
2) remove gas cap;
3) put nozzle in fuel neck;
4) activate nozzle;
5) when full, remove nozzle;
6) put cap back on;
7) record units of fuel on clipboard;
8) remove ground strap.

How did I do?

Sort naked. I'm sure if a guy jumped in the back of the truck and saw some naked dude with 40 year old bush he would turn around and leave.

You wouldn't!

Speaking as someone who was also in the air force I can tell you that there would probably be at least 16 steps instead of 8. LOL. And an entire manual that explains how to set up for those steps.

I thought you had to search for misloads by a certain time like we do. Why not sort the load if you have to handle every package anyway? Also, its hot here anytime you spend too much time looking for a package and I can only imagine how bad it gets for you southern guys and ladies on the hot days.

I found it was easier to sort through the car before the preloader loaded all the bulk!

No, he was pretty well spot on.

We had three guys robbed in my twenty driver group this past year. There was a crew targeting drivers last year, they were driving the same car. We had a couple get robbed in apartment complexes, we don't deliver them anymore. The latest one happened in an upscale area, so these things can happen anywhere. We just had a new Loss Prevention person start in my Hub, I feel sorry for her.

You were in during a different time. I'm probably right for more recent times. There is probably an AFI just for that. LOL.

 

[olroadbeech]

almost robbed once by two guys when i got lost in Oakland and made the mistake of getting out of truck. they approached me and said they wanted money but i did not stop walking back to cab and got in and left.

just lucky.

now a days you have to be totally aware of your surroundings all the time. some street sense helps too. listen to your gut. if you get a bad feeling listen to it and take action away from there.

seems like the world is going to hell.

I would think they woulda really preferred you dispense fuel into the fuel tanks, instead of putting gas ON the plane!

My Center had another driver robbed yesterday, the third one this year. In all cases, they were in back of the package car when somebody climbs in with a gun. They usually take the driver's wallet and cellphone, and they usually look for phones in the package car. We were told this morning to just get in the package car and drive off, don't get caught sorting anywhere. We have several apartment complexes we no longer go into, a common denominator.

Are robberies up everywhere?

No. I'd carry a concealed weapon.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

No. I'd carry a concealed weapon.

You'd carry a weapon and risk losing your job over a phone and a wallet?

Or your life?
