PEAK SEASON 2020

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

Looks like 16 hours

Probably a P500

 

[BuriedInCardboard]

Probably a P500

It was a P500 but with 200 stops and 350 pieces. No bulk stops/post offices. They fit everything they could into it.

 

[Dr.Brownz]

Kansas or Oklahoma?

No UPS socks, that’s a warning letter.

New appearance policy dude

 

[Fido]

We take the dolly and seat belt it secure in the front with the door closed

 

[Dr.Brownz]

Yes we have...wait and see what happens after thanksgiving weekend...

Have fun delivering all peak! and beyond

It's going to be a UPS Covid Christmas season this year. Your first 10 stops will be the blocked out 8000 shelf. Too bad they can't release EDD 30 minutes before we leave. We could pull the first 10 stops to put behind the bulkhead door. Or have the loaders do it.

You would think with all of this technology that the stops would be in exact shelf order from 1000-8000 the first stop being 1000 and the last stop being like 8900. How hard would that be to program? Run the shelves like the exact order of the stops. Plus when multiple stops have the same shelf number then change it by at least 1 number. 3500, 3501, 3502, 3503..... and so on for the same street. It would actually help with efficiency for UPS corporate.

Expect the unexpected. And leave yourself and out. Good luck.

We have a non 911 area still. The rural route stops come 10-15 with the exact same PAL. Fun times.

Since when has UPS ever cared about making drivers efficient? You must be new. I gave up caring 15 years ago.
I feel like if we make any positive suggestions then UPS will purposefully ignore them out of spite.
Just take what they give you and do your best.

Years ago most rural routes did not have addresses or street names. Just RR 1, or 2, etc. Somehow they all got delivered everyday.

They do have that technology, it’s called edd

EDD was a disaster in my center. RDO absolutely fixed EDD. Then they went and disabled RDO and forced ODO. Now, years later the routes have mutated into new things and even if we went back to RDO that would suck.

Seems the loaders should move stops. Not sure why anyone would work without being paid. Unless they need to get done early. Lol.

Clock in early or have the loaders do it.

I’m sure those 40 stops were a real struggle.

Yeah there was a thing called a route book and trucks went out with 40 stops.

I use peak season to make as much money as my grubby hands can make.

The wife doesn’t complain because she gets cool out of the deal.
