I will always post negitive about UPS on here , I thought this was a place to vent , so I guess if my post disturb you , you might not want to read them anymore ...................
It does not disturb me, I see your joy in giving it to them. I just wanted to warn you but I guess you have been there long enough to know, so just ignore what I say. I dont give anyone a hard time, I prefer to be invisible. I actually like my job, I like the physical part, it has just become way too hard, harder than it needs to be with all the memorization, 60 million rules, and endless aggravation.
You know that feeling when you get when you see a cop behind you, and even though you havent done anything wrong or maybe you have, you get that sinking feeling when they come up behind you lights glaring, then they drive by. That is how I feel every day.

A five hour ride with me would be a 100 mile walk home for a sup. He better stay on all day if he wants to get back to the building.

Hahahaha I left one at a business years ago because he could'nt keep up. He had to run 8 blocks to catch up. He never left the car the rest of the day. He would'nt even take a bathroom break. When we got back to the lot he sprinted to the bathroom.

That's funny and OOOOOH SOOOOO true. I had one behind me the other night. When I pulled over he pulled over behind me. Oooooops. :bag:He clocked me at 86 in a 75. Now, when the hell did AZ go from 16 over to 11 over being a criminal traffic violation?? :censored2: He gave me a warning and I gave him the phone number for our other center. He was expecting a package. Turns out he is a neighbor as well. Really nice guy. :bigsmile2:

A bunch of years ago, someone on another board suggested that on a particular Friday, we (the people on that board) see how many smiles we could get. If you have never tried, all you have to do is smile and you will get a smile back.

As luck would have it, that day we had late air. No matter, I smiled and people smiled back. I probably had 100 smiles in my pocket by the time my pick ups started. Then the crap started rolling in, I had to help a neighbor, then coming in, I had to meet another and I ended up punching out close to 8p on a Friday night. My wife called to remind me that she was out of town for the weekend and by the way, be nice to the youngest it is the 1 year anniversary of a friend that lost his battle with cancer (he was 17 when he passed.) Fan-freaking-tastic.

My on-car was still in the building when I got in and said something kind of smart alecy and I laid into him.

I let all the crap get to me and unloaded. It was pretty unfair to him and I realized it an hour later and called to apologize. Really, all I could think about was how I had wasted those 100 smiles I got that day.

I lost some serenity that evening. Smiling and getting smiles helps to get some of that back.

The hardest days to smile are when we are having bad days, but if you do smile, you will be rewarded.

Life is too short to be a hardass about work.

First off, I do not work at a hub. I load my pkg car at an empty WalMart parking lot.
No warm and fuzzy here. Hell, I do not even have a roof,or a bathroom.
I can count how many center manager's I have had.
13 is the number.
On road Sup's, about 35.
Top 5 driver?
I was awarded driver of the year and given a bonus check.
My first 10yrs I had to commute 110 miles to drive "the truck".
It took me 21yrs before I missed a single day off.
You can try and punk me, but after 25yrs, I can meet you tit for tat.
Your post did not disturb me.
I just wonder why you are so disturbed.

Speeding tickets are 99% minor infractions and not criminal violations, unless it is extremely reckless driving and it is charged as such (criminal misdemeanor/felony violation).

You get a bonus check for being driver of the year? Best driver in your center, division, country?

Never heard of this before, just curious.

I am not a great lover of UPS, and care far less for the teamsters.
Hate all you wish.
I left a better paying job/career 26yrs ago, because ,I refused to live my life hating the company I worked for.
As tough as my 26yrs working for UPS have been, there is one truth.
Every promise UPS made to me has been met, and I returned like in kind.
Your brotherhood -(teamster)- promises have fallen very short, and have turned promises into excuses.
This old geezer does not intend to be pushed out by anyone.
