I don't know you and will most likely never meet you so I could care less what you say you would've done.

So it's impossible to use safe work methods and still not need help everyday? There's plenty of guys in my building with 20+ years of driving who get 11-13 hours a day working safe and never need help. How is that?
Because they have no balls (wont file for 9.5)
I cannot fathom "letting" them use the garage. Id demand premium payment. The guy probably does it to make his fantasy numbers look good. What a loser
You dont know how crappy his load was or how bricked the truck was with 150lbs packages. Not the new guys fault alll the those cover drivers skipped their lunch and breaks and ran to get done.
But its all good, I dont want to keep your centers biggest asset tied up making posts on browncafe!

Believe it
Should have added in the first post for all the first peak drivers (this is a good one)
Do not buy a flashlight to use at work. UPS would buy you one if they wanted you to have one when you are delivering in the dark. Instead use the light on the DIAD. Incase you don't know press the organge button and then select the flashlight from the pop up menu. Tough
if it makes the DIAD run out of charge quicker (did you know using the light up keys feature does too?)Be sure to check EDD at every stop (never allow the DIAD screen to turn black because that means you arn't working hard enough LOL)

These guys could have filed for 9.5 a long time ago if they wanted. They like the hours so they don't. They could get dispatched with 9.5 hours of work and will still come back in 11 or 12 hours and laugh anytime a sup tries to tell them about over allowed. How is that having no balls?

Ok I can understand a crappy load or bricked out car one day or so. But three days in a row that's your excuse? Even then, boo freaking hoo. Every driver on this site has had to deal with those circumstances plenty of times I bet. Did you need help every single time it happened? Or was it a longer day than normal but you got it done?
Anyhow you keep making all the excuses in the world for this 'new' guy. But at 2 years in he was hardly new, I just called him new since he had less seniority than me. And no, all the cover drivers didn't run or skip breaks. After a while of working in your center you can get the feel for who the runner gunners are, who the regular pace guys are, and who the slackers are. Normal pace cover drivers will do that route with no issue.
But it's cool, keep making more excuses for the 'new' guy.
So if they like the hours what the issue of helping someone else out then?

I sound a lot like this new guy. I don't mind when people get pissy, I get it you want to go home and not have to help. I always recommend the 9.5 list if you don't want to take on more hours. Not bitching at someone who will stay out there as long as it takes and not run a single step or work a single minute of their 12 o clock sharp lunch.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
If you don't want to help slow down and file 9.5 is that simple.
Maybe you should worry more about you and less about the other drivers in your area.

Well for the last 5 months no slowing down was necessary. The load is so much now that by the time I'm finished with my own stuff it's already 8:30.
Anyway I love the OT hours. I don't mind helping once or twice a week at all. But the same guy needing help 3 days in a row to me is pushing it.
As for worrying about only myself, that would be a lot easier to do if I didn't have to help the same slacker over and over. Once again, I haven't had that problem lately. The story I told was one from almost a year ago. Since that time I haven't had to help him at all again. No other driver has ever needed help more than once in a week, let alone 3 times in a row.
Yeah I forgot UPS instituted that rule that you can only have a crappy, bricked out load one day a week and every other day it is perfect. And I'm sure no extra bulk stops or areas were added to the route right?

It's management's job to worry about him. Not yours end of story.
