Concerning the No fueling message...it's truth.
The check cashing offers were just jokes messing with management.
We were going to text the pt time supes that the company froze our direct deposit accounts until Wednesday and ask them if theirs was too.

No matter the reason, for a huge transportation company to issue such a directive is absurd. It's unethical because they're covering up something. Then again, that's what UPS does.

Perhaps it depends on the design and situation of the building, but it takes a lot less time for the driver to fuel up as he enters the lot than for a porter to juggle dozens of cars in and out of bays filling each one up. What a clusterf*** that must be.

When I was on night crew we used to fuel and park over 28 cars an hour never had a problem with it can't understand what is up with these new guys can even park 28 an hour let alone fuel and park. But I'm not asking management, I enjoy the extra ot even if it's only 10 min a day every penny I can get towards retirement I can save

We got the message here too.
Our job is deliver packages. Its amazing the company management is there to make that simple objective as difficult as possible. Really need to get some psych evaluations for the idiots making these decisions.
I tell customers about specific examples of the nonsense we deal with... its so foolish they think I'm making it up sometimes.

As for parking trucks at night, about 2/3rds of drivers park their PC in their spot in the center. The other 3rd park in a rotational basis in 1 of 3 spots where the unloader doesn't have to move much at the beginning of the night. It's the porter's job to rotate these out as they're unloaded.

Judge me.
The new initiative is that they call the wrecker, load up the PC, drive it over to the pumps, unload it, fuel it, load it back on, drive it to the parking spot, unload it, and finally put the truck in nuetral and push it into place.
No driver ot and saves fuel

Makes sense. Similar algorithm as Orion.

Took a driver I know 3 weeks to get his money back from using his personal card to fill a PC.

Work as directed. Send in a message with your concern then run out of gas and pull over and wait. The absurdity in this is amazing. Can you imagine this issue reaching the CEO or board of directors? One of the largest and most profitable transportation companies in the world telling their last mile delivery drivers they can't get fuel?
Accountants. Fuel is inventory and it is easier to measure it in the gas pump tank than the running to each PC and recording the amount in each tank? Big company like UPS, I'm sure it adds up.
Frankly, I would do the opposite and direct for all PC to be 100% filled before punching out for the end of the year. Does not require running to each PC, reading the fuel level and calculating # of gallons. Just know your fleet's overall capacity.
On a side note, gas has weight and it is wasteful to carry more than needed with a "reserve". Just like airlines. Of course, that has to be countered by any additional wait time at the pumps if everyone is refueling on a too frequent of an interval. Our pumps allow only 20 gallons per "pump" to send a message to the drivers to not "over-fill" their tanks.
