Wow. So make 3 year guys slave and load trucks for 11.50hr, but guys off the street can make 18hr to drive their own climate controlled office around... maybe getting high while doing so.Current UPS employees are not eligible.

How are we getting so backwards. Honestly it's getting sad.
Resident ibt union guys have anything to say?.... they haven't replied in a while to this thread.
I just don't get it. Uber I get. This I don't. Here's why: what percentage of gig economy folks actually have a vehicle that can store enough packages to make it worth it for the driver? Will it only be smalls they're delivering? If so then wouldn't the management of what constitutes a "small" take human effort and time and defeat the purpose? If it's only smalls the gig driver is delivering, doesn't that logically mean they will drive further and cover streets that the FT UPS driver has to deliver on anyway?
I feel like this isn't going to save the company that much money. I agree that this is mostly to pull one over on the shareholders.
I could see my center sending a shuttle (large rented truck) and leaving it locked in a designated parking lot on area for the personal vehicle drivers to come back and reload from. Same way we regular drivers grab our second and third loads during peak.

What do you mean supervisor, "or someone" who's the someone? No hourly would ever agree to this.It's not some random's garage. It would be a supervisor's or someone at UPS
Didn't we buy a company that was suppose display the gps map/directions on the windshield a few years back? Wonder what happened to that purchase.Where can I sign up???
Will I finally get to wear a brownie shirt ?
Or... Will it be a reflective vest with "UPS helper" written on it?
I'm allowed to use your printed OrioN maps and printed delivery manifests? As well as my own windshield mounted GPS units????
I understand they will not be delivering to Teamster officials so that risk is mitigated.Wait for the first rape or two before this plan gets kiboshed.
It's usually retirees who live within the community they are delivering.A thiefs dream
