We stop delivering at 22:00 and the rest gets sheeted missed and we come in. 10:00 is still too late for people to be out delivering anytime of the year. I heard last year there was a center that had drivers delivering after midnight! I wouldn't be doing that.
We have over 200 drivers in one center during peak and cannot handle the amount of cars in our parking lot either. We have enough diads somehow (I think we store them somewhere because it's amazing we have them) and a ton of the helper phones. We just don't have space for all the packages that come down the belts. We have 24 footers filled to the brim for PVDs/PODs, 4 pups filled with post office stuff, feeders running during daytime for pickups...and still can't manage it.
No but not is.....roll with it. Take the money. Peak will end in 5 weeks....sort of.
It’s always funny when you go to the door and they’re standing there and respond with, You’re working pretty late, aren’t you? Umm. It’s only 6:00. Lol.
Oh i agree but here it's basically if your 14 hours are not up you are expected to be delivering. PATHETIC look for the company but whatever.
I have taken to just double parking by a sup or a feeder. I am not showing up 30 minutes early because ups is too cheap to provide adequate parking for its employees
I got "burning the midnight oil" at 4:50 on friday
Seriously? What do you have like 20 cars at your building?
I agree.
friend that i would be having uber drop me off at the front door and call it a tax write off
That's because you're in Cali and you tofu lovers are trying to cut down on gas emissions.
ZERO chance i am blowing a horn after 8 pm
Lol, i hit the horn twice during the day and thrice at night. I also play Christmas music or R&B. When i do that, 8 out of 10 times the customer either meets me at the door or turns on a light
No, it's because every 5 or 6 years they take more of our parking lot and fence it off for trailers.
How else are those ladies wearing lingerie gonna know that their gorgeous handsome UPS driver is there just for them at 10 PM to deliver their package?
Tis the Season to put your Big Boy Pants on
This job may not be for you
If I have to go out to help others during peak I'll take every measure to ensure that the whole neighborhood knows I'm there. Tree/bush near the road I can't see through? That's a double horn tap. Car parked in the street? Double horn tap. Person walking their dog? Yup, you guessed it - double horn tap. Then there's the stop.... I make sure everyone knows that the house is getting a package because hey, gotta make sure they see me! Our Center Manager doesn't care about complaints due to horns. Neither does our DM.
