A driver told me once, wayyyyyyy back before the diad wad even a thought, during peak season, if a driver was just fed up with the job he would come in ad usual in the morning, leave the building, drive to the nearest strip mall, ditch the truck, not one package being delivered, and just go home. By the time the Center caught wind (however they did that), on roads and sups had to go hunting for the abandoned truck. Funniest thing I ever heard.
I heard this happened in my facility, and drivers that came over after their facilities were consolidated into ours told us the same thing happened in theirs.
I think it's a UPS urban legend.
Hell, there's one person in our center that's gotten at least 10 term. letters that I know of...
When you gotta Go.you gotta go!!!......Life goes on! Hope it wasn't cold outside!!!!!....LOLWe have a driver who made a delivery, and then left the consignee's doorstep; in a hurry, the consignee goes out to look for him, wanting to give him a letter or some sort of pickup. She comes off the doorstep, around the corner, and finds him taking a leak on the side of her house.
He still works here.
Last season Driver Helper got Fired for Altering her Uniform. She also had to pay for a new Uniform.

So what. I know people like this. You know what we call them? People who stand up for themselves.
