[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 57269"] Vette, I do stand corrected. IT is oneo friend the most important aspects of delivery. And those that have not made it here in our center have failed because of just this item, usually small less than $100 dings and dents. The house I bought ended one of the last outside hires, he backed into the basket ball pole (just a phone pole with the goal attatched). Didnt do any damage to the pole or the car, but the guy was a prick and made him call it in. Driver was a nice guy with 5 kids and his mom lived with them as she was disabled. I even went down and offered to buy the guy a new pole and goal, but he didnt want to hear any of the offers. Fast forward 5 years and the Sob got his. HE ended up loseing the house and I bought the house for 70 grand. That wsa 25 years ago and the pole and goal are still there and still in fine shape. As for UPS being that hard on new drivers, I dont guess they ought to make it all that easy, as then any one could be a UPS driver. But to grind them into the ground as they try and learn is trying to play military. I have long thought that this mindset came from the 4F drivers that could not make it into the military during the war, so they structured UPS to be a little Army or sorts and that mindset has never left. Kinda funny, if you look at some of the photos from the 50's, they are all standing at attention, ready to salute, and they called it gathering up for the PCM. Hehehe, how things have changed. d [/QUOTE]
