[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1058428, member: 42691"] Never attempt to jump start the package car. You're not a mechanic. Even if a supervisor asks you to do this, tell him you're not comfortable doing that. Maybe, MAYBE deliver around that block, but only if it is safe. Don't go dragging a two-wheeler across any traffic, up any hills. You sound like you did right. The supervisors will always yell at you--that's all they are good for--because a driver sitting still is a fraction of their bonus that they will never see. Put your feet up and enjoy yourself. This is when our fancy phones finally come in handy. My tractor broke down this summer on a a busy interstate, in the middle of the night. Between the time it stopped and the time I was moving again--in another tractor--3 hours passed. They wanted me to call them every 15 minutes to update them on the arrival of the tow truck. Nope, I told them, my battery in my phone is dying. After I hung up, I played some game on my phone for the next three hours. My phone almost died, but then I pulled out my charger, plugged it into the cigarette lighter and played on. A dead UPS vehicle is not your problem. Enjoy your free time. [/QUOTE]
