What do you think of the hand truck?

[FrigidFTSup]

I noticed you didn't call. Failure to WAD. Warning letter.

 

[Billy Ray]

All day long baby.

Best change they ever made.

Until your feet get tangled, and you take a header out onto the pavement.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

Change is good but perhaps when a new method comes out, the entire company could be told so that there is consistency and maybe someone out there could actually make a policy and procedure book to tell all of us what the rules are so we could not only learn the "methods" but have accountability company wide.

center manager explained it to me this way. New method comes down to the region. Region makes slight changes. Comes down to the district, slight changes made. Comes down to the division, slight changes made. By the time it reaches the center, completely different or ignored. Ridiculous.

Runner/gunners don't get warning letters unless they really screw up.

He hasn't been a yes man as much as I would like lately. Will scare him a bit.

It's a fair trade...I gladly take on all the BS and get the warning letters while the RunGunners do all my work long after I punch out!

Good luck, maybe you could give my center manager some pointers since theirs are not working. I've been called many things but up until recently, never been called unmanageable.

They don't like my pointers

Just curious, what do you like the most / hate the most from the hand truck and why?

If you need one, you're not on a good route.

 

[3 done 3 to go]

I was trained to never deliver out of the driver's door. Now we can. What else are you guys going to change?

I have a hook on the side of the dash board box. For my seat belt. I never go out the driver door. Also don't fold in my mirror

Best changes by far. Key fob and the bulkhead opens hands free

We still have a driver that refuses to use either. He said he makes an additional $3k/year because of key use. He's not going to let UPS take that away from him.

 

[Cementups]

Alright already! I won't back into driveways!!!

Shoot, I've been backing into driveways before it was the cool thing to do. As I told my OCS, "there isn't a single driveway I won't back down."

Huh! I never thought of it that way.

Also don't fold in my mirror

Had my safety ride last week and was gigged because I did not fold in my mirror all day. I pointed out that doing that is an end range motion and that a shoulder surgery negates about 100 mirrors bring struck. Makes no economic or safety sense. Supe said that he had to mark it down and discuss it. I replied that sticking to that nonsense lessened his credibility substantially.

 

[DriveInDriveOut]

Have you tried using the jump seat seat belt to secure it in the cab until there is enough room in the cargo area?

SMH.

I refuse to fold my mirror in. Even had the center manager following my one day with my OCS. When she asked me why I didn't fold it in the OCS told her "Don't waste your time, he will not fold it in." She asked me why and I told her, "My arm is worth a lot more than your $10 mirror. If my mirror is folded in then I can't see who is coming at me from behind and next thing you know I stick my arm out to fold the mirror out and Boom, gone. Screw that, they can have the mirror, I'll keep my arm." She just shrugged her shoulders and said OK. LOL. The truth is, I'm just lazy and not doing that 150 times per day.

I hate when preload moves it so they can put packages there. Then it slides around all morning until I can clear a space to get it secured.

Every single morning I find it in my cab...its pisses me off so bad

Never heard of that before. I'd rather it fly around in the back

Cmon you know this is a safety issue.

 

[Dr.Brownz]

Above my pay grade. They pay me to say "Wow yeah that's a way safer/smarter way."

and you wonder why all the drivers spit on management.
