[QUOTE="feederdriver06, post: 442386, member: 19057"] I have many painful memories of delivery during peak time. Don't miss that nonsense at all. Having a Helper was ok if you got a good one and was a nightmare if u got a bad one. Peak time also ment all bets were off and all the rules go out the window. Seatbelt was only worn on main roads !!!!!!!! NEVER!!!!!!!! in developments. Bulkhead door was closed on main roads !!!!!!!!!!!!NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!! in developments. As long a one of us was in the truck(I ran off my side deliveries and the helper sorted - helper did his side deliveries and I sorted)the truck stayed running. 300 stops and all of the bogus work methods plus dealing with the pathetic management production numbers weren't all compatible with each other so something had to give. I drove the truck. I was deemed responsible for the actions taken by my helper. So guess what--- I made the rules while I was on the road. end of story. I remember one time having being followed by a Liberty Mutual employee. He approached me when I had stopped for a delivery. He said "congradulations. U guys have 100% percent seat belt use." I had to hold back from laughing in the guys face. He either must have needed glasses or wasn't watching very closely. It was funny considering I had told my helper "your not going to be in your seat long enough to put your seat belt on" That was my last peak as a package car driver- grew very tired of the job and the bullsh.it that went with it. January came and I bid to an article22 job and basically became a full time air driver. loved that gig. A year lated went to feeders. If it wasn't for the article22 job happening when it did I would most definatly no longer be at UPS. [/QUOTE]
