Mine was uneventful...rather boring.
I saw a couple coyotes and deer on the road. That's about it.
LOL !!!

I beat my head against the side of the truck and wept softly. ***********************.
.....Hopefully these costs will cause management to revise the X-mas plan to include a few more routes to be built next year, but I'm not holding my breath..
..... maybe someday safety will really become a priority again at Xmas. Can't wait to hear the costs incurred by our center for these issues at the january safety meeting.

We also take home more money here as NO STATE TAX!Easy peak, got less than 2 hours OT last paycheck and maybe 5-6 hours OT last week. In shorts last week as it was a balmy 70`. Never delivered in the dark as I saved my lunch to the end of the day. I grew up up north but moved to Florida when I was 19. Can`t understand why anyone would want to live up north let alone work as a UPS driver in that terrible weather!? I`m dreading the next 2 days as it will be below 60`! Looking forward to temps in the mid 70`s by thursday!
Seniority be damned, looks like no one's going out today. State of emergency in Jersey since late yesterday afternoon. According to news reports anyone brave, or stupid, enough to go out has gotten stuck. Be careful,and safe digging/blowing out everyone.Except for record-breaking cold (made even worse with wind chills) weather was a non-factor, for the first time in about 9 years. Only measurable snow, was a Squall driving in one morning, which just made me, plus a few others late to start. The road was like amatuer hour during, and just after this event. Happens every year during first winter storm. Looking outside now looks like about 8 - 10 inches and who knows how much more? I haven't seen a forecast since about 10 this morning when total was upped once again to 10- 14 inches. Looks like they probably upped it some more. S(no)w problem however, was informed Thursday via DIAD message that I'm off tomorrow (seniority has it's privledges). To all my co-workers in the east please do be careful out there.

I did notice a LOT of drivers had missing helpers or had to share due to some dismal helper hiring choices. While I lucked out with my helper, I was kind of amazed that we got such a bad crop of help with all the unemployed to choose from.
