UPS will eventually work that "give a damn" out of you. They manage to do it to all drivers at some point.
sadly this is true. our job is very physical, and for the most part people who pass probation and become full fledged drivers had a sense pride in what they do and most importantly, a work ethic. It's very frustrating to try to argue common sense with on on road, or even a center manager when their only concern is to "follow trace". I used to care-I used to worry about customer perception. but not anymore. why? because 1) you get rewarded for working your ass off with more work from another crybaby/lazy driver. 2)My attitude is if they don't care, i don't care. they only own me for the hours i work...once i punch out they can kiss my ass.
