In a VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER

[10 point]

Funny because I was going to bump the thread from last month, which was dealing with the new Sprinters. I saw these come in on flatbeds yesterday, too.

We call them the Misload Car.
Every building needs at least two.

I'm thinking they would be good for EAMs as well.

I am a building shuttle and sometimes am driving a 8xxxxx car for 50 or so packages when the 500s and 700s aren't available. Sprinter would be much more suitable.

Even then it doesn't matter. The PDS's job is to hit Stops Per Car and get the packages out of the building. Period. He doesn't care if you go over 9.5 and its not his problem if you work 14 hours and bring 20 missed stops back. If he is told to put X number of stops in the car then he will put X number of stops in the car. Cleaning up the mess is someone else's problem.

This is exactly what an on-car said to me a while back. By the way, "he" could be "she" also.

In general, that is the biggest problem with UPS. Management can not work together for the good of the company.

I am aware of that, and in most of my posts I try to remember to refer to both genders. The English language simply lacks a gender-neutral pronoun, so "he" has by convention become the default generic term that gets used.

We need as a people to agree to make "they" a grammatically correct gender neutral term
