Covid-19 and HOS

[GenericUsername]

Got to ring the bell at 3am to sign for that phone.

Police knock at every stop and hit the doorbell/RING bell every time! Make sure to shout out UPS too while we're at it. Hell, get a flood light to shine in their windows to really make sure they see you.

Blast the radio too. Lol

I'm prepared to do what I'm able to do to help for the nation to keep the fallout from this outbreak to a minimum so we can get back to normal life. If that means working extra I will do my best.

You are a good man

Well perfect. This is why we hired the 22.4’s. Smart move by UPS

Eh, I have a thing about that. They can complain about that one and legitimately get me into trouble if that's too loud/offensive whereas everything else we said is just following methods.

As soon as you see them turning on the light put the info notice and leave.

It’s ok, I’m sure UPS will go to large pickups, like beeping your horn and shouting

“Bring out your dead!!”

What dead? This flu strain has to pick up the pace to even come close to the regular flu.

Imagine if every regular flu infections were covered like this?

The truck is so loud we have to blast it.

Just read an article last night that said the real number of cases are likely 10x what it being reported. Which would put the death rate at .3% instead of 3%.

If people thought it was a mild flu for most this whole attempt to scare wouldn't work.

I’m just gonna post stupid gifs until this whole thing passes

Just make sure you have your wife call in case you do die to let The Center know, to avoid the super awkward “why isn’t the 10f board taken out of th.....oh” moment.

Getting a Notice of Termination letter in the mail day after the funeral for no-call-no-show would be awkward.

Is anyone else getting calltags for funeral homes? They always say 149lbs, and going to Oscar Meyer.

The hype is high, market is low, perception is everything.

I'm sure we all heard about the lifting of the hours of service(HOS) laws. If not...

With it now offical that UPS is a essential function and, exempt from shelter-in-place and lockdowns. Will we be forced to work over 60 or even 70 hours?

I looked at our contract about the 70 hour language. Does this fall under a act of god or a service disrupting emergency?

I'd like to hear some thoughts. Because what is the definition of a service disruptions in UPS's eyes? Does just a in flux of volume count as a service disruption?


Also does lifting the DOT hours of service mean I can not file for 9.5? I don't recall seeing anywhere in our contract about not being able to file because of emergencies.

When it comes to national emergency our contract goes on the back burner
