Don't know if it is still this way, but when I was working, The bigger Houston airport (IAH) wouldn't allow a package car to be parked without someone with it. The guy who delivered the airport had been on that route over 40 years, and he had to have a security guard on his pc to just sit in it while he was out delivering.Put two people on a package car. Drop one driver off and go drive around the block until he is done.
I never seen that here.

You ever seen a UPS Truck getting booted. Like wtf, UPS don't like paying parking ticket for brand new 2018 1300 truck. I guess the 9.5 isn't working for everyone.

You're welcome.
Thay would give them an excuse to cut more routes.Instead of paying two drivers, just hire full time helpers in NYC to do this.
There are four to six roues that has my work in it. If they give me back all of my work, I would need a Mall van to deliver packages. My whole route volume goes up to 1k pieces.Thay would give them an excuse to cut more routes.
That's a heavy ass route.There are four to six roues that has my work in it. If they give me back all of my work, I would need a Mall van to deliver packages. My whole route volume goes up to 1k pieces.
I forgot to tell you guys... I have never used the bulk head door for deliveries... Our p1300, the bulk head is screw in and you are unable to use it.
The rotten appleThat's a heavy ass route.

What a lot of big cities do to us is little more than legalized extortion in terms of parking tickets.
Portland, Oregon is a good example. There was an article in the Oregonian last year about the “ten worst parking scofflaws in the downtown area” and 3 of the top 10 were specific UPS package cars with downtown routes.
Portland encourages high density housing like condos, for people who dont own cars and use bikes or mass transit and do their shopping online instead of driving to the mall.
That is great, but the trucks that deliver the goods they order still have to park somewhere. And instead of providing an adequate number of loading zones, the city creates a deliberate parking shortage and then uses carriers like UPS as an additional form of revenue by extorting parking ticket money out of us...in some cases up to $10K per year.
