Did they bring you in off the street or are you currently working for UPS?

Anyways bros, I'm out. I'll be avoiding all of you on the street from now on. Be safe, peace!

Thank God. I don't want my shoes to get wet from all the tears you're crying.

Be on the look out for something much bigger!

why would they even be road testing anyone a week after peak

 

[Indecisi0n]

They gave me a truck in which the speedometer didn't even work to test in. The needle wouldn't move above 20mph. Failed pre-trip on the tester's part in my opinion. The tester even tried to dodge the next appointment after me because his fat ass must have had better things to do (eat more candy probably). Do UPS driving schools have a truck that accurately displays the vehicle's speed or is that a long shot?

We we're taught to be able to judge speed by putting your head out the window and using the breeze .

Lies.

You wet your finger and stick it out.

Do you know when your tires are low when you hear a 'pop' while driving down the freeway? Great plan

Your getting them confused. The wet your finger and stick it somewhere is a different method .

Those beat up old widowmakers couldn't go fast enough for speed to be an issue anyway.

You saying you failed for grinding gears and not verifying your speed? Did you kill the truck at any point or points of the road test? Did you complete the whole test from start to finish? More information is needed to answer your question. And yes there are trucks that have odometers that work, some of the older trucks are piles and have mechanic issues. Did you talk to a steward since you work as a part timer now and voice your concern over these issues?

Dave, why would you be wanting to come back driving?
Sorry to hear you were unable to figure how to drive stick.

Is this @Fubar ?

If you could not shift a synchronized transmission without grinding, you have issues.

Sometimes i wonder how the heck did i pass the road test in a beater like a UPS truck with only minimal experience in a manual 91 honda civic i had for maybe one month before it was taken from the police at a road block because it was not registered and signed over. All i can say is that you just cant drive and don't really want it back to preload.

If any of you ever miss a gear, be sure to resign.

I missed a few gears in my road test but it was not enough to disqualify me.

I ground a few gears, docked 60 points. Knowing exactly how fast I'm going would have easily prevented this. No RPM gauge in the truck either.

You could use your ears. what are you gonna do when you get thrown in a manual to deliver in? Stare at the gauges the whole day?
