Couldn't separate zips be paled separately for ease of segregating at the delivery point? Maybe have them sign for each zip?

I hate the SurePost topic. UPS, or anyone else for that matter, should not have to compete with a government entity. Especially when they are given special treatment by the federal government. The USPS should not be permitted to deliver packages. They can have their monopoly on mail. It's a dying business.

Wouldn't it be nice to hire more drivers, have more routes go in and let some of the hub rats have a chance to go driving??

Inordinately Right
Be even better if we just spread the work we have now out with new drivers so everyone didn't have to work 12 hour days. I agree with your sentiment though.

They can be PAL'd anyway you want them. We segregate them by post office here.

We put up a permanent FT bid a few weeks ago. Not one signature. Looks like an off the street seasonal is going to get lucky this year.

I understand that every company runs differently but you don't see the usps, dhl or either of the fedexes out as late as ups( except for mr. Monster and big sexy Dave) ...it would be one thing if these other entities mAde minimum wage but they don't...

Ups feels that they can't compete if we don't stay out late... They can't compete unless 50% of volume goes to the post office.. They can't compete unless they micromanage the shi$ out of everyone...can't compete unless they take a pension away from a new sup...the sky is always falling here.. We only make a penny a pkg...they mind friend people here from day one .. Most of this is just a corporation thing and imo causes more problems than it helps...even if they changed everything stated above to a more reasonable state they would still make millions and in 20 years still be in business...

If surepost packages originate at UPS, why is the PO address printed bigger than the address that it's going to on the label? Love it when it makes finding it in the PC more difficult, & also when customers come running back saying, "this isn't mine." "It sure is. Your address is the microscopic one listed a little lower on the package. Thank you."
There was new training in the DIAD about Surepost last week or the week before. Seems like the union has started to put it foot down and is starting to make UPS play by the rules...

Looking at my truck daily, I feel confident that Ups isn't really losing much work
Are you for real... If you delivered to Post Office you'd have a different look at it...
Your truck being full means nothing... It would be full either way everyday... If less volume was going to the post office more routes would have to be put on thus they would have to hire more FT drivers. If you haven't notice they aren't, they cut cut cut....

Do you think that they want to sort or do anything extra? They are working as directed.

You sound like this is a good thing, why would you want somebody outside the company with no training or understanding on anything to come be a driver. Further what kind of loser part timers work there that they dont want to become ft driver, the whole point of working here is to become ft
