What's in your tote every morning? ("On Topic")

[Big Package]

I tote next day air, smallest smalls, and air envelopes. I always tote people's medicines. Especially the envelopes half the size of a dollar bill. Anything the size of a softball or smaller, really. With smart scan, it's easier than ever to see the service type on the label.

For drivers:

What do you see in your tote every morning?

What do you hope to see?

What would you like to see?

For loaders:

What do you throw in totes?

What do you do with air? During slow season I put all airs in FDR/FDL.

Do you have a driver who prefers every package by HIN? I've done pulls and had the driver empty the tote and sort it back onto the silver. (??).

Honestly I'm just happy if the correct packages are in my truck. Throw my air in a tote and out the door I go.

Lately I have four or five totes of stuff they were just too lazy to even load

 

[MyTripisCut]

What is this tote you speak of? Our airs are either behind the car or in the cab. Everything else looks to be loaded with a wood chipper.

most of the time the air isnt even there by the time we leave

Occasionally they are used for bulk stops of smalls.

I hope to see nothing in my tote. My loader is paid to LOAD the packages in the package car.

I don't even want a tote in my truck

Maybe it's a regional thing? The years I did helper at different locations and the two most recent places all have totes in the 1000 or 2000 shelf so the driver can snag stuff easy.

We used to have totes, to hold our stuff. Then they started moving cars all around the entire building and it was over. Lucky to have keys in the morning to be honest.

Totes? Those things that wear out and don't get replaced?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! Our totes were all taped up to . I bet Ups spent more money in tape to repair the things then the new totes cost.

I use a tote to keep my hand truck from slamming into the side of my package car every time I turn a corner. Right now I've got a spare DR bag roll in it, that's about all that needs to be in it. Since I get a new loader every few weeks, all I want is my packages loaded by HIN so I have some hope of finding them. No RDR/RDL on the wheel wells, no long packages in my cab.

We have stacks of brand new ones.

I take two per day-----one to hold my NDA pickups and the other to replace that one at the end of the day.

I used to keep a tote with my personal items in my PC but came back from my most recent
vacation to find it MIA. Someone had taken it out due to the volume and didn't bother putting it back.

 

[Indecisi0n]

Are we running out of topics ?

Are we running out of topics ?

No way that could happen. Does anybody know where I can get some UPS socks so I can keep a spare pair in my tote box?

(I stayed on topic)

Only in the BOG.

 

[Big Package]

Our facility finally got new ones and recently got a lot of new and gently used ones. There's a few stragglers with broken and sharp metal. I think they use them in unload.

You can tell each generation apart like rings on a tree haha

Occasionally I find insightful and inspirational messages, written in grease pencil, in my tote.
