if they were smart they would have buyouts.they know theres no way possible nowadays to do this job more than 15 to 20 years realistically,without the drivers body wearing out. im going on my 12th year and 40 years old.i really dont know how i am even going to make it to age 50 with the way my body feels now honestly.and they expect you to make it to age 55 or 30 years of service.like really dude, come on ups you freakin idiots no way a driver will last that long without being like lee majors the six million dollar man with fake knees and fake hips.their a bunch of programmed unrealistic robots down there in atlanta land.makes more sense to buyout older drivers and just have a lower pay scale on the newer drivers.why pay a guy who is alot older than a newer driver and makes the same amount of money knowing damm well the older guy is going to move alot slower and be less productive than the newer guy.im just saying its flat out commonsense really.when i get to 50 if im still here im crawling the last 5 years and dont even care.do everything buy the book and if they dont like my crawling cause they broke me down physically with their slavery,sorry bout your luck chuck.ups should know how bad drivers with more than 10 to 20 years in hate this job anyway,thats a given and they know it.all the bs and shady dishonest games they play with their santa claus,tooth fairy,bigfoot,lochness monster make believe fake numbers they try to brainwash drivers with.and yes almost all the drivers feel exactly the same way.just like they run the company so 1955.been doing the same thing forever.i guess since they pay us 30 bux an hour they want us to have no life and be their prisoner all stinkin day to 8 or 9 every night.sure this job sux but wouldnt nearly be so bad if you could get home earlier every night and start earlier in the morning.no reason why they shouldnt have us start at 730 or 8 in the morning,sadly considering a minor adjustment so drivers would be a little bit happier considering all the bs we already have to deal with anyway.once again a sad reminder of the biggest company with a monopoly on the business ran like poop and so 1955.and they wonder why drivers hate the job so much.selfishness and greed,i guess they dont mind looking in the mirror every morning and know their selling out to the dark side.sad but true my fellow drivers.any way enjoy the rest of your sunday my compadres,and see you on the flip side of the prison tomorrow.lol


What did you say??

No need for a buyout. The Teamsters already offered a sell-out. They allow UPS to lay off full-time employees and have part-timers work up to twelve hours each day. We are our own worst enemy.

The problem is as I see it in my hub is the amount of work. Full timers will go home if given the opportunity. Part time drivers then work two or three days as thier lifestyles aren't accustomed to the ft driver pay, thinking it's just gravy if they work one day as a cover driver. The reason the FT guys go home is they work 10-11 hours a day for 4 days and they make their "2 year ago" check before the workload increase.

This not only prevents them from filing 9.5s (don't rock the boat) but also prevents them from moving more pt people to FT positions. If every FT bid driver and Swing driver worked, there would be more routes in. As it stands they let the slower drivers that do it by the book go home and slam thier routes full when they throw a pt runner gunner on it. In doing this they are also able to cut routes and circumvent the seniority system.

I personally am a "by the book"'driver and don't go home when asked to. I work the long hours and file my over 9.5's. The problem is as people like myself vanish under the pressure of the workload, or as the driver workforce refuses to file, why would ups bother doing a buyout when people just lay down to the company? What happens when just a handful of us file on contract violations and our membership gets weak? What does ups have to lose by telling us to take the contract and kill flys with it? Might be mentioning I'm in Georgia, a right to work state.

We are on the same page. I simply used less words. As I said- we are our own worst enemy.

Some times less is not better

Oh Yeah
i hope they do buyouts in nexy contract.i think ill somehow by a miracle and with the good lords help be able to squeeze 10 more years out of my body.luckily though i was smart enough to pickup 3 different aflac policies on the side.i have accident coverage,hospitalisation,and short term dissability.i was one of only a couple drivers up here in ny to get it.well worth it.i call it the what if stuff happens policy. lol.with how hard this job is i dont know why anybody else wouldnt get it.but then again look at some of your fellow employees,i just laugh at how stupid some of these clowns are really.lol.
 
If you really do try to open your mind to following their methods it really will add longevity to your career. I follow the methods and it really does make the physical part of the job easier. The mental part is the one that I see affecting a lot of the others where I'm at. They punch in upload there dispatch and start to worry. In the grand sceem of things who really cares what they give you. It's a job you are a delivery man. Deliver your route using their methods and don't worry about there mistakes it pays the bills. Hen you finally figure it out you can laugh at the idiots and people watch it is quit funny to watch these people Bo have such tunnel vision. Poor bastards

Reading some of your posts I wonder. No offense intended.
If Jesus were here right now he would be hanging with a lot of people who would be looked down on as you are looking down on me. He might be sitting around a fire with a drunk 407 having glass of wine. Whitney Houston might be there on drugs with snoop dog puffin on a blount. There would probably be a homosexual or two there also as a thief and a Wall Street guy also. All of us sinners as are you and everyone else on this earth. Man I've never claimed to be perfect and I've screwed up my share in life but no matter what I will always be myself and never try to hide who I really am and that's me. I might act outrageous sometimes on here but it's who I am my character & charisma I'm me bro and if I'm making a joke and having a beer or stomping a bully. Then so be it bro

Cant rip people other posters and hide behind the lord.
When have I hidden from anything. I am a Christian who likes to drink watches a little porn and really really dislikes upstatenyupser. I'm also a father and husband who rubs feet makes dinner and sometimes passes out by a fire I've made in the back yard. Some people love me and some people hate me as I love most people but I've hated my share. I'll rip anyone who I think deserves it and bro if you want to rip me go for it. I'm flushing this brown monster in the toilet where I think it belongs. Oh yea you have offended me a little but I'll be over it real quick god bless you man.
