The Driver
I drive.
Not if it’s you and you accidentally back over your own stuff.
Sounds like a problem for someone who doesn't back first!

Those blue ‘Prime’ vans have AC and a radio. The van I got to check out had folding shelves in the cargo area. They’re all Mercedes vans...
That’s why I always back first including at home.Sounds like a problem for someone who doesn't back first!
The FDX Ground route near mine has had a large UHaul truck with two VERY SLOW fat chicks on it since right before last peak. I don’t know how they are able to finish the route at the speed they are walking. They park on the wrong side of the road too but the move out of the way when others need through.
Did they factor in that Orion stop in the 6800 sector and ripping the truck apart like you’re looking for your car keys?I've been running peak volume for a month now. We just got a cover guy(s) running one of the routes in my loop as the normie is taking four weeks of vacation. They keep ODSing me to go help him. "I can't"
I got two misloads today. They tell me I have to make sure they are delivered. "I can't"
I have zero time to do anything at all. I'm late to all my pickups, one of them has stopped shipping all nda through us because we are no longer reliable, and if anything at all happens, such as a few on demand pickups, I'm totally fked. I have no leeway anymore.
Every single day we leave late and every single day we all get a message "run straight air".
Mngmt has started holding little seminars in the morning, complete with a stop watch, to "train" us to go faster.
Apparently it should only take us 9 seconds to stop, open the door, grab our one small 1 pound box that just happens to be at the very front of our 1000 shelf, set it down on the floor, and exit the package car, AND pick the box back up.
Mngmt is going to get back to me about searching for a 80 pound irreg in the mess that preload leaves me and load it on my dolly.
I mean it takes me more than 9 seconds just to get my dolly out. UPS is bonkers
Very creepy and weird looking.I feel this way. No beards and no tattoos is very old fashioned. It’d be better if they had an approved list of facial hair styles. Funny that mustaches are acceptable when they are like the creepiest thing someone can have.

Have a friend who bartends from noon to 10:00pm on Friday's at his relatives restaurant.
Said that an Amazon driver came in (had their co. shirt on), sat at the bar and ordered some food and a draft beer on his lunch break. Driver told him it took 3hrs to find 1 certain address. Friend asked if he had more deliveries which he replied yes.
Guess it's ok to drink beer while delivering for Amazon......
That tells me that either
A: you dont work for ups
B. You work in some run down hell hole.

Dude their numbers so based in fantasy land it’s crazy. On a real scratch kick here lately. See we just picked out that package and got out of the car in 10 seconds you’re allotted 12. Your walk pace with no packages on a perfect surface is 8.5. You’re allotted 10. Your start car routine takes you 7 seconds you’re allotted 8.Nine seconds if you want to scratch! Move every 90 pound irreg, that box you are looking for is surely right there!

Well you are your own boss as a contractor.

Man we are practically giving you 5 seconds at every stop. Why can’t you guys do this!!!!
dhl only do international work, they not looking in the business of doing local work, more money is made doing international business.I posted that Amazon has tractors now matching their Sprinters. There will be “ex con” methed up Semi drivers working for pennies at Amazon. Amazons airline is subbed out and pays lowest wage in the industry. The carriers are reducing min flight time to get pilots. You can fly a shiny 767 almost right out of flight school..
UPS will see volume increases until Bezo’s plan is fully in place. Then the volume will drop significantly. Things seem to be pointing to Amazon partnering with DHL. Amazon needs an Intl network. DHL needs a North American network. Both will have increased volume from each other at reduced costs. Both will be able to serve markets where each other under serve.

About 25 years ago myself and my helper had the cops walk up with guns drawn to the window of our U-Haul while sitting in a driveway at about 9:30 during a peak. We had backed up to the carport(no one home)to drop some bulk. I was looking at a map for our next area. Seems a neighbor called in some suspicious activity. I dam near peed myself.
In my case the fact that it was 9:30 probably didn't help.This happens every peak season to anyone in a rental vehicle. How hard is it to put up a PSA on their websites and to local news stations to inform the general public???
What part of independent contractor don't you understand?Except for two glaring things wrong with that picture, at least take the uniform Shirt off and change, and geez don’t be in the company vehicle in a bar.

People are going to order stuff from Amazon even if their drivers start running over kids in their neighborhood.
