Ohh that step is definitely weird to get used to! In my opinion the car seems smaller than the older ones.

I never got used to it. Its horrible

Just wait until your sorting the 5000 section and you trip down that step and slam yourself into the bulk head door.

True... but to be fair any sorting you do in the 5000s should be done on 1000, and 7000 on 3000. I wonder if that was their thinking when they put that ankle death drop where they put it.

I find it funny that you think there is thought put into UPS's decision making process.

Always trips me out when I see a truck this clean.

Got a loaner last week with less than 4K on the odometer. Clean as a whistle.

It’s 1 week old and already has a inch thick layer of dust in it.

Swing open doors suck at loading docks.

You mean you don’t like the process of stopping short, shutting the engine, seat belt off, go open rear doors, get back in drivers seat, seat belt on, engine on, reverse onto dock, engine off, seat belt off, unload, seat belt on, engine on, pull off the dock, stop, shut the engine, seat belt off, close the doors, get back in, seat belt on, engine on, drive off.

I just got back from integrad so I’m kind of at a crossroads on this whole deal, I work in a small center like 36-38 routes and we don’t have any Saturday ground so I don’t know that we need 22.4 guys because most of our drivers are back by like 6-7 instead of 8-9 like other big hubs so I could potential get grandfathered into the RPCD description or I could end up being one of the first 22.4

You were hired as an RPCD, they can't just change your job classification. You may, however, decide to bid 22.4 if you aren't getting enough hours as an RPCD. Let's hope, if 22.4's do end up in the final draft of the contract, that they at least get paid the same as RPCD.

Is anyone around the country getting new PC’s as far as P500-P-700? We just got a new 2019. I thought they had quit making them.

What kind of car is that? All our P5/P7s have swing doors.

Where do I put the two outdoor furniture boxes?

Step is a tripping hazard

Where do I put the two outdoor furniture boxes?

On top of the trampoline and gas grill

I had a supervisor tell me we weren't getting anymore small cars due to oversize packages. He stated that the company's plan is to go after large packages that other delivery companies don't want to handle. People are getting too lazy to buy large things at the store and carry them home if they are stupid enough to fall for the free shipping scam.

 

[UnconTROLLed]

A few months back, our hub had at least 10 or 15 brand new P800s sitting in the yard. Not sure if any have been put on-road yet.

[Indecisi0n]

Yes yes yes

 

[Ancient Alien]

Yes yes yes

Ha! You're a good egg dude.

What's this mean? Is it a typo to $4300 a year. No, that can't mean $4300 more a year each year you work after your eligibility.

Anyways, what do you make of this?

• Full-time service pension increased $400 per month to $4,300 per month.

What does it all mean? Thx!

 

[Ancient Alien]

Could you imagine ol' Super Dave skating out the door just 8-weeks before they increased pension $4300 each year after eligibility? :-D
