No1 Special
Long time listener, first time caller.
We were never paid enough to drive those high steppers, especially the ones without power steering.
this is why I saw a UPS truck in two different driveways in a matter of 2 minutes FridayDisagree. We are paid very well to do what we do, therefore the large majority take pride In their job and do it the right way. Where FedEx is paid like garbage and they act like it. If UPS paid ten bucks an hour with no bennies you’d see a whole lot of brown trucks doing the same stupid sheet.
I dodged a bullet and didn’t have to.Did you not have to go to Integrad? I know some drivers didnt but I did
We have one left and the guy who drives it daily has driven it since it's first day. They even repainted it for him and everything. As cool as they look, god they're awful. Nobody ever used first gear and just started up into second, the high step killed your knees, and the fact that my legs touch the steering wheel because of how small the driver area is warrants enough reason to never use them ever again.
Driver bootcamp? Huh? Where is this "camp"? I was given a set of keys and told to go make a pickup....first day. So, if we have all of this "training", why do we have so many accidents? Our vehicles are all beat to hell, tatted, dreaded etc. Sloppy uniforms. If we are so highly "trained"....it ain't workin.Some do for sure. I would have given him a heads up.
But it really just boils down to the training. UPS drivers go through driver bootcamp while other drivers are given a set of car keys and told to do their best
Ever seen our fleet? I get passed every morning by the same speeding pkg car in a WORK ZONE. Get passed by the same feeders in the same work zones every night. They tailgate, speed blah blah. How about on the yard? Wanna go there?Disagree. We are paid very well to do what we do, therefore the large majority take pride In their job and do it the right way.

Wooden shelves and bulkhead door. A heater that makes plenty of noise....just no heat.You mean there are drivers at UPS now that have never seen an old 800?
You'd really love that first step and wonderful power steering.
Loved those heaters.........lol. It would defrost just enough of a spot on the windshield to look through. Used to have to use the ice scraper on the inside!!!Wooden shelves and bulkhead door. A heater that makes plenty of noise....just no heat.
Yard here is a nut zoneEver seen our fleet? I get passed every morning by the same speeding pkg car in a WORK ZONE. Get passed by the same feeders in the same work zones every night. They tailgate, speed blah blah. How about on the yard? Wanna go there?
We are the best of the least best.As funny as that is....
Why do UPS people have such an "elitist attitude" towards other drivers ?
Do you know what it means when someone says, A LARGE MAJORITY? It means most, not all.this is why I saw a UPS truck in two different driveways in a matter of 2 minutes Friday
Because we are paid more. $100k plus a year inflates the ego.As funny as that is....

Maybe that dinosaur will finally be taken out of service. They’re dangerously slow on the freeway, struggling to get to a max speed of 55mph while everyone is flying past you at 70+ is not fun.UPS drivers never back into trees.
Because we are surrounded by inbred idiots, that’s why.As funny as that is....
