Of course, I list only tips, not shortcuts. I have to keep my edge over my cover drivers.

Wisdom comes with age

Kinda funny and off subject, but I build ponds. Im really good at building ponds that are no more to maintain that flushing the toilet once a week.

Everybody wants me to tell them how to build their pond that way. Sorry. I went to school, paid for my education, and I am going to give it away for free? Dont think so. Might give you a pointer or two, but for anything else, there is a consulting fee.

Same principle.

Very few people put a value on something they get for free, but when they pay dearly for the same item, for what ever reason it becomes more valuable?

I call that teaching someone everything they know, but not everything you know.

I keep a black marker with me all the time. I write notes on the walls inside the cargo area. Gate codes, new streets, even the date, time and address of the dog that attack my diad.

I keep a big fat marksalot marker with me also also. I use it to write the address on mailboxes so I don't have to get a signature everytime I have a delivery for that address.

I used to do that when I was in delivery but it wasn't to be able to driver release packages. It just really pissed me off when people couldn't spend $.50 to put a couple of numbers on their freakin mailbox.

How about after a snowstorm, shoveling a path WIDER than 1 shovel width! a 2-wheeler doesn't fit down a narrow walkway with 3 foot walls of snow on either side. I always make a point thank my customers that clear the snow from their drive & walk ways as it makes my job a little easier.

Let's not forget those unbearable grass clippings, also. I can't stand it when I have grass clippings stuck to my 2 wheeler.

Steve, on a hot day, I would prefer those grass clippings over dog droppings any time. Especially the sour ones that curl even your toe hairs?

Not much worse than stepping in dog crap and having to smell it in your truck all day or even for an hour.

UpstateNYUPSer · 01-14-2009, 06:09 AM

That's the nice thing about this cold snap--the dog crap freezes and you simply kick it out of the way. Just don't eat the yellow snow!!

stevetheupsguy · 01-14-2009, 07:00 PM

Customers, please

UpstateNYUPSer · 01-15-2009, 05:12 AM

Steve, care to explain the pen?

stevetheupsguy · 01-15-2009, 06:26 PM

Sure, here's the real picture and it's self explanatory. CAUTION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Nuff Said!

Was really just trying to let customers know that they need to use the stylus and not their ink pen. But you gotta love the view.

backinbrown · 02-19-2009, 10:54 AM

stevetheupsguy · 02-19-2009, 11:45 AM
