[QUOTE="Pickups, post: 120491, member: 6436"] As far as bieing sick or on vacation, please read my other post, or the the FAQ's section on the PackagePickup.com site. I've explained this. Again, I am a UPS driver just like you, except I came up with a clever idea that I actually am persuing. I am not some compeditor or whatever. I am offering the service for free because I feel that is the only way people will actually start using it. Just like MySpace.com or even BrownCafe.com for that matter, the more users you have, you do have potential to make some money. But not by charging your members, rather with simple advertising on the site (see the big banner at the top of this site). What's the "motivation" behind BrownCafe.com? Same thing. I could potentially make decent money just by generating hits on the site. My site is not hosted from my house, but instead a very credible web hosting company. The site can get many thousands of messages sent through it and not be overloaded. This is a legit business I have started and I am not going to wonder the rest of my short life "why in the hell didn't I persue that idea". As far as a phone call vs. a text message. Text messages are far more safe and convenient to receive than a phone call. Especially while you are driving a huge brown truck with no power steering (many of our trucks still don't have it), or while you have packages in your hands. You can look at the text message whenever you want, not right then when it is coming in, like a phone call. Also, many states are now passing laws, making it illegal to have a cell phone at your ear while you are driving. You will be getting tickets for that in the future, and I bet UPS would fire you if they found out you were talking on your cell phone while you got into an accident on the job. Think about it.
