So very sad. Not the same company I signed up with 35 years ago.

Started at 850 this morning. Did not get my TP60 until 950 and was finished loading my package car around 1030. Instructed to deliver air in trace which would have meant many wouldn't be delivered until late afternoon. Made a decision to deliver them first as I believe the customer should get as close to what they paid for as possible. Had all air off by 1130 and then started with the ground.
What is your commit time? Ours is 1030. We left the bldg. at 1010 yesterday. 10 minute ride to my first stop. How may NDA stops do you think I can get off in 10 minutes?
Hoax, where do you think it's going? Being close to corporate, what do you think? I'm glad I'm not there anymore because of my fears.Different without a doubt.
UPS was in a regulated industry 35 years ago.
FedEx was fledgling company only 5 years old.
RPS/FedEx Ground/Home did not exist 35 years ago.
Very different.
We've already been instructed that we are not to use "emergency conditions" when sheeting any stop, under any condition. Driver must contact sup who decides what the stop in question should be sheeted as.When management makes the decision which code to use ...
As with you, I am retired for a year now.Hoax, where do you think it's going? Being close to corporate, what do you think? I'm glad I'm not there anymore because of my fears.
I had trust in this company. Not anymore. I'm glad I was there when I was 'cuz I can see it going away.
I predict, and I hope not, but I predict...UPS will go away in a few years. Maybe not my lifetime but in a few years. Sorry, but I've seen it before in other corps.

Probably added 35 minutes and 20 miles to my day.Did you finish close to or at the same time you would have finished had you run the air in trace?

Looking back would it have been that big of a deal to run the air in trace?
Two of them were medication and the consignees were waiting for them.Looking back would it have been that big of a deal to run the air in trace?

The cellphones from US Cellular I could care less about.
A big deal to who?
It's a big deal to the consignee.
Who are we to legitimize the delivery?
I don't care what is in any package.
To me they are all invaluable, while equally worthless.
It's the service we sell.
My contempt isn't in the use of emergency conditions, rather the abuse of it.
Because the center manager is being instructed by his superiors just like we are. It's the whole crap rolls down hill thing.We received the same instructions. Some of our delivery areas are an hour or more from the bldg.----how in the hell can the center manager make that call from his nice, warm office?
