I've been in line to be @UpstateNYUPSer's friend for years now and he's just not having it. I've even openly admitted that I'm one of the few that likes him around here. But yet he still steps back from my advances

You mean when they preach egress and safe lifting methods but if they are behind they tell you to get everything loaded asap.hurry hurry hurry. Forget the methods it's about bottom line now.
Now you have a driver speeding down the road because he has a missload air saver going to a business..i guess it was missloaded when that poor preloader was getting hammered with 4 trucks and not enough hours. But your a go better so you'll get it done right? You're following the methods yet you sure in hell aren't taking smooth turns and stops..you ain't going the speed limit..and you sure in hell aren't counting 1, 2, 3 after the idiot ahead of you is making you miss the light. If you follow the methods you don't get
I was a package car driver for 21 years and I followed the methods and never fell into that "go go go" mentality. My supe would observe me on road and tell me I need to pick up the pace and I would tell them not to worry about it, I got this. Slow and steady wins the race. Then the next day I would be int he office and they are trying to reprimand me for taking too much time here and there and even accusing me of "stealing time." But when I tell them to look at their funny numbers and explain to me how I still punch out before 5:30 and their numbers show me 75 units under, how I was stealing time and dicking around. I've yet to be punished for any of it.
so go ahead and be a sheep and fall into their mentality. Run and get hurt and enjoy your wheelchair and your early retirement.

Any chance that you may have had has vanished since you started gaining your feeder weight.

You will start carrying around your old Diad pouch and put your flashlight and snacks into.... grab a snack while driving, while pretripping the tractor, while putting away dolly, while building a set... you set the idea.

I recently joined the safety committee. It is a joke. Lots and lots lol good talk about safety with zero follow through.
I also called my manager out in the meeting and told him people are afraid to work safe here. Safety leads to making decisions that don't always mean a faster pace.
I then told him it would be great if he followed some of the runners in the building to show he was committed to safety.
We have a few killers who get off at 3-4 everyday.
It's not because they're doing the methods. Just saw one of them in my neighborhood. He had so many pkgs in the front of the truck it looked like shelf 1 was in the cab.
Well back to the meeting. So I told him that it would be a great gesture of safety to follow their Ace's and report back generally about it in the pcm. He looked at me dead in the face and said "we don't have any runners in this building " lol. Okay boss. Just keep repeating that till one of them climbs another telephone pole.
Let Safety first, integrity, and accountability be your guide.

I'm hoping I can get back into a workout plan of some sort again here in a couple weeks. We had started P90x3 a while ago but being in package I had no energy for that at the end of the day. SO I'm going to at least give that a go again and see if I can improve this dad-bod I have.
