Been around the block a few times
Cutoff @ 5:30pm
I need to tell someone,to cover my a** and I tell some harried, sup, who is trying to keep his job. he tells me to give him one, ya that will help. The time it would take me to find it I can deliver it late.
The only thing I can share to younger drivers, is save your money, dont go in debt, and get the heck out. And do not whatever you do, get sick and have medical debt, on your spouse or yourself.

was a 845 start recently moved to 850 start they say because of late feeders, i'm usually one of the last to leave have to wait for three trucks to leave to hook up to my trailer they recently moved behind a dam pole, so i leave the building on average 915--925 on bad days, 5-8 min waiting on 4 lanes of traffic clear enough to cross to get on hywy then a 20min hall to area.. late air ?what late air? have to bust it out quick with the trailer on then go do my bulk delivery.

Ha ha. Yes, it's a big damn package car. Probably the worst part of it is the long walk from the bulkhead to the backdoor.
1.5 years ago I was in a P7 with the slider back doors. Then I got bumped off my route and took this route with the P13 on it. Last Thursday my boss called me and asked if I would do a favor for him and run my old route. When I got back in that P7 I felt like the walls were closing in on me. I never realized how small it really was. LOL.

I may be wrong but I always thought their lack of volume was why they can wrap and hit the road so early. Any thoughts?

our sorts start 430am to 5am... that's why we start 850am
How well I know my friend, how well I know. But we are the lucky ones. In my situation he/we lived to fight another day. Some dont get that second chance.
If we started that early there wouldn't be enough work to gain stops. Realistically we would have to cut feeder drivers lunches to get trailers and volume sooner. Not that ups wants to just dictate start time. Fedx is out earlier yes,but with less volume. This is also why they can move to some zips quicker. Less volume

815 start usually out on street by 830, Mondays the boss lets us leave at 8 if sort is wrapped
I start at 8, leave building about 805 and I'm punched out at 5 everyday. How do i do it? I quit UPS a month ago to go work for a propane company. I worked for UPS for 18 years and bled brown for about 15 of them. I now make the same as I did with UPS (excluding OT that I didn't want anyways), a better benefits package and a total hands off approach with management. I do about 40 stops a day with less stress - loving it. To each their own I guess.
I left on good terms however, still have many freinds in Brown - good luck to all of them. Nobody works harder.
