    At What Point....?

    ....does UPS say "uncle"? When will this company tell the truth; that we can't maintain an infrastructure, fleet, and the staffing necessary to accommodate the ever increasing influx of volume for essentially 2 months of the year? How much longer will the Union allow a bunch of pencil neck...

    Work slowdown

    Forced six days. The union has failed us. We still, as individuals, control the work. Walk, don’t run. Hand trucks are for pushing, not pulling. If you need a strap to keep your packages in place, you are overloaded. Hell, you shouldn’t be using a strap to begin with. Utilize crosswalks and...

    Driving the Golf Cart - Seasonal driver helper

    I did my 4th day today as a driver helper. I did the route by myself on the golf cart. Let me ask you all something? The golf cart is stored in a shipping container, and unloading it and the little trailer isn't bad. What is bad though... is driving it back in. There is no ramp, so you have to...

    What’s the rudest message you’ve ever received on the DIAD?

    received one on Saturday. “You’ve only delivered 30 stops. You’re NOT NEW ANYMORE!” This was my 3rd Saturday on this blind route. So I drove around angry for the next 7 hours. That’s safe!
