COD check must have blown out of truck

Seriously why are you such a pathetic human being?

I think he has a crush on me

You are supposed to fill out, scan and turn in a COD envelope every day whether you receive any checks or not. That is part of your End of Day task list.

As for the “muck run”—-that is what EC is for. I would have called the customer to try to set up a “paved road meet point” or ask them to pickup at center. No sense wasting 38 minutes, not to mention getting stuck, in one stop.

I was active duty Air Force and we called Minot AFB “why not Minot”.

Scram

In my 20 years we never filled out a cod envelope nor scanned it if there were no COD's so you're lying there. If it happened before my 20 years its clearly irrelevent now so again, you're wrong. And EC becasue its 38 minutes of driving. Wow just wow.

We never did either. Maybe they did in the Bubble of Goodness. The 6 didnt even let you scan one if you had no CODs.
Ok now wheres the onroad to count/verify my 8,000.00 before I drop it.

You are correct on that one
If I didn't have any cod packages I will just put in zero sign the DIAD and that was it
Now you don't have to do anything unless you have a cod at checkout time

I did sound like a lot of work

You may get terminated but you should be able to get your job back if you fight for it.

That sometimes and then we had a turn in log that they would initial the amount.

We just signed the envelope and dropped it in the safe, spun the lever and it fell in. I found a stuffed envelope in it once, the driver didn’t turn the handle all the way. Idiot. There was over 700 bucks in it. He’s lucky I found it, I dropped it in.

Ours didnt twist. Just slide it into the box thing. Had a couple like that that didnt slide down all the way. Someone in a hurry.
A PT supe that sent the mail/cash bag to the hub decided it was his personal ATM. A little here and a little there before he was caught.

Unfortunately that's happened too many times

DR’s at college housing was always a crap shoot. 1 paid claim in 10 years on that part of the route was commendable.

The OP is a slug who needs to grow up.

I was trained to put cash in left pants pocket—-keys In right—-but was never trained to put checks in shirt pocket.

BTW, anyone expecting the Company to increase the Top Rate for new hires (8/1/23) by $13/hr ($32 to $45) is in for a huge surprise.

I was at PAFB (Plattsburgh NY) from 1/82-10/83. Put gas on airplanes.

Yawn.

I prefer to talk smack. It’ll make him more pissed when he can’t respond

 

[MECH-II]

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to turn the checks in

$40 an hour is chump change, I don’t get paid enough to keep track of checks

PAY UP UPS



it

 

[clean hairy]

Wut? The COD turn in only requires you to match the number of checks in your hand with the number of checks in the DIAD. Drivers are only required to verify that the amount of the check matches the COD amount on the package at the time of delivery and that it is a certified check/money order if requested. I used the upper half of the old wooden clipboard, which fit in the space above the cup holders, to hold my COD envelope and call tags. I also clipped my iPhone to the cupholder.

The OP sounds like a problem child. Customers do not take the time to Google the UPS Corporate number to call in a corporate rude hourly if there is no merit to their complaint. He indicated that "she was looking for an argument" and it sounds as though he may have taken the bait. You stated that you "didn't mean to harass her" when you offered to stop by to "pick up the package". First of all, she paid for the package so you have no right to take it back and, second, it is on you to as the first link in the chain of custody for COD checks to ensure that it goes from their hand to your COD envelope to the collection point in your center. It sounds like she called the company and paid for the package with a credit card, for which she was charged a (3%?) convenience fee. UPS is not going to fire you for a rude hourly unless you went over the line with the customer. I received a rude hourly less than a week before I retired for walking across a small portion of someone's lawn---she was a busy body with nothing better to do; in fact, she called me "lazy"----we had a good laugh over that one.

Lost checks or claims for bad DR's do not come out of your check in a lump sum. The Company will take out as little as $25/week until the amount has been repaid in full. There was a SUNY Plattsburgh student playing college basketball wearing a pair of sneakers ($125) that I paid for as the result of a bad DR I had made in an off campus student housing building. From what I have read, the current $100 threshold is going to triple to $300 in the new contract, which will protect you guys from frivolous claims.

The rude hourly was not simply because you asked to pick up the package but was because of the manner in which you asked and the fact that it was the second call that you had made to the consignee in regard to the lost check. Hindsight is 20/20 but it may have been best to let your center management team take care of this for you. She was venting when she blamed you for the "second lost check".

You are given a COD envelope for a reason----to put checks in there. Checks do not go behind the blue contract book or in your backpack/wallet/shirt pocket.

burrhead asked how you were "going above and beyond" when you were incapable of doing one of the more basic parts of your job. Are you referring to the (harassing) phone calls? As he stated, there is way more to the story than you are telling us here and, unfortunately, those details would not paint you in the best light.

"Stealing time" with an unexplained 38 minute stop and "getting stuck in a blizzard" when I am certain that you were all told during the PCM not to take any (stupid) chances out on road that day are all indicators that you are a problem child.

"I would have loved to have stopped by in person." Yeah, probably a good thing that you didn't as you may have found yourself in the backseat of a patrol car.

"Now I wait for the call for my grievance hearing so it's back to the lake for me---lot's of fish to catch" tells me all that I need to know about your character.

You should use the time spent fishing to reflect on whether this is the right job for you. You'll get your job back---they may make you sit a home for awhile but you will be back. May I suggest that when you come back you make a concerted effort to do the job the way that you were trained and to treat people the way that you would like them to treat you. Picture yourself as a business owner and then ask yourself if you would like to have you delivering to yourself.

Good luck to you----you clearly have a lot of growing up to do.

Yawn
