Changes You'd Like To See AT UPS

[brownmonster]

You probably never saw it but when UPS increased the weight limit to 150 pounds they were supposed to provide collapsible rollers that could be stored against the shelf and used to unload heavy packages. There were only a couple floating around and just for show because they quietly disappeared.

We had those rollers installed in every vehicle back then. They were takin out of every vehicle shortly thereafter.

Rollers are not a ramp. Just say'in.

This would be alright to use. The copy/printer guys use them to unload and haul around Xerox machines. Smaller but like a collapsible gurney - pulls right off the back of the vehicle fully loaded.

Pimped out with inflatable tires of course!

Negative. I need a sturdy ramp to unload this "stuff" not a glorified hand truck.

It holds 400 lbs. I'd use it.

Brighter lights in the truck and larger font on the labels so I didn't need cheaters to read would make the job seem more like I was 25 again .

I would like armrests. it would help my elbows out

My first would be a ramp at the back of the Package Car like they have on those Uhaul trucks. With the size and weight of the package getting bigger we need a little help here.

BTW, spare us all the sarcasm. We all know UPS isn't going to be everything to everyone all the time.

Weren't you trained to position the hand trucks against the back bumper and roll the package onto the hand trucks supported by the bumper?

Besides the pay, benefits and basics of the job, almost everything... and transfers would be nice

too.

I was trained to get the package off the truck one way or another.

Ramps are the only thing folks can come up with that need to be changed? Guess life ain't so bad at Brown that everyone makes it out to be?

That kind of surprised me too. Apparently all is peaceful in Clarksville.

How about more vacation time??

Higher wages?

Hire more drivers?

Better dispatches?

We were allowed to chain and padlock out hand carts so they wouldn't wander off but that changed to us not being allowed to do so. Always a couple of carts short of what the center needed so it was steal from a car in the shop or parked outside.

Go to the mall. I went there last weekend and saw 1 of our carts being used by a Macy's employee

Realistic time allowances and a Nationwide press conference admitting Orion is waste of time and money

I would settle for just getting my turkey back.

I would like the load quality to increase.

Give the poor loader some more time so they don't completely rush and throw things in. Makes or breaks my day.

My time study is based on the truck being stop for stop loaded
