Excessive, they're making him sweat. We've all made mistakes, I'd be surprised if he was terminated. He will be humbled.
Can you lose your job over this.....

Also, a suspension is not a termination.

Let's assume they were letters @$15/each. Still think it was a minor error?
I can't recall the last late air that I had that was my fault. I certainly can't imagine having 40 of them, especially when there was no reason for it.

While I do appreciate your response, I asked Dragon because he is a center manager.

BUCN85, assume the position, be contrite, the job is worth it.

Fight the power.
We have this thing called a "union" that has a bunch of writing in it about things like this called a " contract". This driver , should "send a message" to management. We have a binding contract. Follow it.

You are entitled to be paid for today.
The company is banking that you will not pursue the pay.
DO NOT ACCEPT A SUSPENSION.
If you don't want to fight it, tell them you will only accept a warning letter and we will call Thursday a scheduled day off.
It shows that you are acknowledging culpability.
They will take you up on the offer.
I would personally hold out for the pay also, but I understand why some would rather not.
Pick your poison, but a suspension is unacceptable.

UPS can take you out of service while they "investigate" it. But you should still be on the payroll. It sounds like they suspended you because they don't believe you.
Once they find out it happened like you said it did, you should be back with full back pay.

He is not a center manager. He is a sort manager.

I once forgot to drop off my east coast air after picking up from two UPS stores. Drove into the building and BOOM, I remembered. It was about 40 pieces...I felt so terrible and guilty. They were pissed, but I didn't even get a write up. Mistakes happen, just don't make it a trend!

Sorry Dragon. I thought he was talking about FrigidAdCorrector. I do believe you are a center manager.
Are you a newer driver?
They are just trying to put the fear in you. Forget there BS you did the best you could. You'll be back in no time. Make sure you get all your back pay, don't let them intimidate you into not taking it all. Enjoy your paid vacation! I was in a similar spot as you once, talk with the union and file as many grievances as you can.
The company wastes more money than that daily due to crappy dispatches/load quality.

Usually the local hearing is a fishing expedition for the company to get info on your situation, with the hope of you saying something they could use to further intimidate or terminate. That is why they called you a liar, trying to pull your chain make you angry and say something stupid. Common practice by management to make you feel like a slug, to start second guessing your actions, it is pathetic and beyond stupid. State the facts and nothing more, sounds like you did call in the service failure so the dishonesty thing will not stick. Really best of luck, and watch the circus .

Yes
There was no customer complaint and he was only a couple minutes late. It's just some higher up manager trying to find something to do so he can pretend he helped UPS.

nowhere special
Yeah, no refund if customer doesn't complain so the late airs were just an internal UPS issue.
