Any Methods you think don't apply to you?

[Box Ox]

Well it's gone now. I guess I gave out personal information.

Boo

Maybe if you gave it some dark shades and a cigar or something?......

That's @Monkey Butt clever right there! It's so crazy it just might work!

Can't hide ugly that easily!

You’ve done probably one or two routes your entire UPS career , you have as much area knowledge as a new hire. Just cause you know one route doesn’t make you master of knowledge on every route. Your a ROOKIE!

Its been awhile since I was a casual but I think I knew 12-15 routes before getting my first FT bid route.

 

[Indecisi0n]

Why is it that even the new package cars don't have the automatic backing alert, factory installed like so many other modern delivery vehicles???

I'll agree that on a straight back, tapping the horn is not a huge hindrance....

....but while your turning the steering wheel, checking your mirrors and monitor, on a driver's side quarter back, in a residential driveway???

"The Methods" are designed to shift the liability to the bonded, insured driver....more that to keep us or the general public safe.

It's always about the money.

I alway refused to do that one. I'll keep before I start the back and if at one point I am straight backing but if it's all turn then I simply don't hit the horn again until I am finished.

My pkg car was backed in to while I was making a pickup at our local UPS Store. I had beeped the horn when I pulled in, beeped the horn before starting my back and beeped my horn until I was square to the door. There was construction in the area and one of the workers admitted that the he didn't bother to look before he backed up. His boss told mine that I had done all that I could to make the workers aware that I was there. Took my center manager less than 5 minutes to deem it unavoidable.

Was that before or after you walked in front of a moving car and were hit while jaywalking?

Just trying to put together a timeline for your biography.
I'm going to title it "Living In a BOG".
The biggest hurdle will be convincing people that it's not fiction.

and walking behind the package car to deliver across the street, don’t do either.

I'm not too fond of this method either, but if that's what they want so be it. Those extra seconds add up each stop to my overtime pay anyway.

This method has been modified to let us use the drivers side door if it is safe to do so for small packages.

I can recall years ago our DM was on the car with me. He would stand just outside the passengers door forcing us to walk around back.

Why do some guys think the methods don't apply to them?

Old school. Get er' done!

That's smart...suddenly appear from your PC from the driver's door INTO a lane of traffic and get hit by someone not paying attention.

If you've got any balls, your DM isn't forcing you to do anything.

The only one I don't like is the handrail exiting the car to be honest. Sure, I understand why we're supposed to grab it, but I honestly feel like I'll damage my shoulder faster than I would my knees by holding onto it too long by accident.

I've seen a driver rip the bicep off the bone while exiting the vehicle.


It was icy. He slipped but held onto the handrail.

I did something similar. Slipped and hand was caught in handrail. Torn rotator cuff.

Better than cracking your skull open.

 

[Johney]

What's a method?

 

[1989]

Its been awhile since I was a casual but I think I knew 12-15 routes before getting my first FT bid route.

That’s what I’ve done this year alone.

 

[Johney]

36 working days for me.

Yawn.

 

[Brownslave688]

Unless you're @RonBurgandy??????????


Lot more to lose on his bicep than inside his skull

Oh boy......

 

[WorknLateHuh]

idk, but there needs to be a few additions to the methods...

for instance, girls 7 and above on the 1-10 scale must obtain signature regardless
