    No Over 5 "On-Topic"

    Maybe someone here can help me out with the rules. I was told today by my full time sup that no one is allowed overtime for the day and I had to clock out at 5 hours. I did as I was told, but a buddy of mine who works in another area for another full timer got almost 7 hours for the day and he...

    Cease and Desist

    (Package Only) Local No. 71 orders a cease and desist of the IBT safety and health committee in response to the 70 hour work week. The local will no longer approve of any driver that remains a part of these committees. How Bow Dah?

    New IVIS

    Is anyone running/testing the new IVIS? I’ve seen it, played around with it, but it was a tester that was being shown to me. A couple of our tractors had the new mounts for the new IVIS installed in them, but no IVIS. They had to put tape over the red light on the dashboard because it’s so...

    How do these irregs pass through?

    How do we get pieces of farm equipment or propellers and fireplaces that weigh 150-200lbs but have 49 or 69 lb stickers? Why does management and safety ignore it and refuse to weigh? These things seem to pop up occasionally but peak has been ridiculous. I can easily do 200lbs myself but what's...

    Union Fight for Better Peak?

    For those of you who have had a bad peak being forced to work excessive hours do you think there is any hope of the Union fighting for less hours worked in the upcoming contract? This year is nothing short of ridiculous.

    Personal Vehicle Driver-checking in

    Got picked up for the season as a PVD. (Boooo!!! GTFO!!! SCAAAB!! <<< lol) Just to get some of that out of the way. I picked up the PVD gig to get my foot in the door with UPS. I originally applied for a seasonal driver position and was only offered PVD. I'd be glad to answer any...
