Injuries vs accidents

[BUCN85]

Do you walk the 1/4 mile driveways?
Just a little shoe leather right?
Might be a child hiding behind the bush by the turn around a 1/4 mile in, so I should walk it... right?

Don't forget about the sneaky dog that comes out at the last second after you have been calling out ups. That's my only reason for a long back. The pkg car is my only safety from a dog

One day they're gonna send a message saying "call the office before you put it in reverse"

They already pulled that one here.

How many hours did it take before they gave up on that idea?

I can't remember because I didn't pay any attention to something so dumb, but it wasn't long. They had given each route a set number of "allowed backs" ( I have no idea how they came up with the numbers) and if you were going to back more times than your allowance you were so supposed to call the office and get approval.

They all love runners.

They all love runners.

Only time I’m a runner is when I need to get off early.

You only do 25 stops a day?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

What time do you usually get off?

 

[Operational needs]

What time do you usually get off?

Whatever time it happens. Lol.

[Dr.Brownz]

Cracked mirror, dead child, what’s difference right? As long as you can save some money not wearing down your sneakers it’s worth it, right?

friend the sneakers bruh, my knees, hips, and every other joint are getting smashed. I'm a very valuable human imo

That's already happened a few years back when they put telematics in and reducing backs was flavor of the week. It ended after the first day when drivers worked as instructed and overwhelmed the center with calls.

I used too get gigged on that all the time ...LOL... I would just listen ....and have more backs that same day

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

We had a senior driver who was challenged by our on car to reduce his backs by 15%. He cut them in half and was still in at the same time. Something tells me that he had a lot of unnecessary backs prior to the challenge.

They tried giving us little "backing allowance check off sheets" that we were supposed to mark every time we backed so we would know how much we were backing.
