In my center we got like 75 trucks. Fifteen are still manuals. What are you going to do when you get put out to cover a route in an ancient pos truck with 600,000 miles and a manual gear box? What?! Demand I trade out all my boxes with yours? Newbie thinks you can get a new truck right away? Lol
Also props to gumby here I love my new truck. It's long and narrow, but it's fast and oh my sweet jebus it's sooooo quiet.
Can't make a u turn unless I have six lanes to use but I love my baby.

If he does somehow end up being with the company, can you imagine all the other BS UPS has to offer he would demand change to his liking?
But they should change it, just for him ..If he does somehow end up being with the company, can you imagine all the other BS UPS has to offer he would demand change to his liking?

I love my job. Don't you?
Ohh God you're bringing back nightmares for me. Best upper body work out I've gotten in my life was delivering in one of those.
My shoulders and knees still hurt l

What happens when that nice pretty, succulent automatic breaks down?? The mechanics bring you that dog
manual that should have been put down years ago. To anyone taking the test welcome to UPS it only gets better from there.

I never had a road test. I never had any kind of UPS schooling. I went right from part time car washer/ car spotter/ trailer loader/ receiving counter/ porter/ jack of all trades on Friday to full time driver on Tuesday (Memorial day weekend 1971). I never was sent to any training classes in Minneapolis- in fact I've never been in any of the facilities in the Twin Cities. (apparently I was just that good).My total "training" was a District Manager road with me for 2 days when I started delivering. There was a lot of "do as I say not as I do" talk. We even delivered some residential with the bulkhead door and the back door on my P-600 wide open because it was really hot out
You did have it tough back then.
Just hammer the throttle when turning hard and it turns better.
If you get another chance. You won’t unless you are from the inside.

Maybe inside loading is the place to start if OP really wants a career at UPS
I hate the new trucks
They tried giving me one a few times. I said knock that crap off ,I don't want one.

I could tell stories all day long about how tough we had it but I'm saving the majority of them for when it's proved Dave is back. He really likes to hear my stories.

Next we hear:
"I got my 2nd road test but failed." "I kept hitting curbs on right turns"
"I think the city should remove all curbs, and it is unfair to give me a road test where there are curbs"
"How soon do I get to try again?"
