    Sent home....I was 3 min late

    Curious on the rules. I’m in Chesapeake district of DC. I clocked in 2 min late. While I was walking to the package car to load it, I was told I wasn’t needed and was being sent home. (Which is fine as I was late and was okay with being sent home) I later found out that people who haven’t...

    Loading feeders

    Hey everybody, Could I get some advice on keeping my PPH up? I load feeders and periodically the sups will send someone (usually me) on the belt to unload package cars. Trying to figure out a way to keep my PPH from dropping when they send me over. I feel like I'm working at the same pace as...

    Call tags RS1

    Since peak all call tags in my building that have always been RS3 are now always RS1. Anyone know what's going on? It's a little annoying because I used to be able to say I'll be back tomorrow. Now I have to deal with a screaming customer every time they want me to wait.

    What do the colors on UPS packages mean?

    I was wondering, is there any particular meaning of the colors on UPS packages? I know there is the shipping label and an additional label with a color name printed on it. I don't seem to notice any consistency, however, it seems that Next Day Airs usually have Red as the color and 2nd Day...
