Driver shot and robbed.

[9.5er]

I have family and friends that live in around the Houston area. Depending where you live there are some real rough places. From what I hear it's all about what part of the belt you live. Locals will understand that term. Also from what I've been told they have a really high crime rate within the Canadian neighborhoods. Also another local term. Anyway sure am glad to be out in the hills.

That is not such a local term. I live a long way from Texas and know exactly what you mean.

Is this anywhere near the katy area of houston?

We had one of our drivers held up at gun point couple years ago. Thankfully it has not happened since.

Damn Canadians.....must be drunk off of that Molson.

What's that, you say? Not THOSE Canadians??

Bad areas need two drivers. We keep drivers in the dangerous parts of the city all night long here.

Here too. And for all the safety crap, hydrate, buy new shoes, etc, they never want to address that people shouldnt be out til o dark thirty alone, especially in bad neighborhoods.

This is true, but I've been robbed 3 times all between 5 and 6 it could be anywhere or anytime...

Let me take a wild guess..They were black?

 

[SCV good to go sir.]

I bet if the driver comes back to work UPS will tell him if he were moving with a sense of urgency (i.e. running) he could have avoided the shots.

Dear Robbers,

I will hand you the keys without struggle. No guns needed. I will sit on the sidewalk with a smile while you drive into the sunset with the rest of my deliveries. Again, no guns needed.

Love, Pooter

I know a lot of you guys hate management, but seriously?

Relax, both of my comments were tongue in cheek.

Next contract negotiation, we need guns.

Either that or we should be able to carry a rocket launcher.

UPS will give ghetto drivers body armor and half the stops. Plus Daid 6 will have taser built into it.

 

[GetTacosOrDieTrying]

I wonder if the driver's sup called the next day asking if they're coming in...?

 

[scratch]

OK, I'll bite. Whats a "Canadian neighborhood"?, I have never heard that term in my neck of the woods.

Well duh you're in New York right? You guys must get a time allowance for robberies.

Smh. And ups will leave their employees out there late. That really shows how they still only care about numbers in paper instead of the safety of their drivers. How often do murders happen in the daytime hours in comparison to the nighttime hours? More opportune at night. Honestly, there shouldn't ever be a day when we are left out there late like that. Of all delivery jobs where employees start around the same time as we do, whether it be FedEx, DHL, Office Depot, drowns dairy etc, we are the only guys out there late night delivering. That's ridiculous and pathetic for a company such as ups to allow that. They portray themselves as such a prestigious and advanced company to the public, but show something totally different on the inside.
