Yes, I know I'm working late.
If you make it work, you will have 100 cars. It's the UPS way.

Too many to manage well for long. 40 total is more realistic for package.

Hmm good reminder I need to find time to stop by auto and say hi to the new mechanic. Hopefully I can sweet talk a fan on this fancy pants new car I got last year.

Why not request a fan.... and if the company punks.... file a grievance ?
"The parties agree that a package car driver requesting a fan in the cab of their vehicle shall make such request through the local Safety and Health Committee for approval.
Any disputes over installation of a fan shall be referred directly to the Co-Chairs of the National Safety and Health Committee for resolution. Such request will not unreasonably be denied."

Oh. My. Sweet. Jeebus.
I'm almost as happy as when I learned there was such a thing as a 9.5 list.

UPS is cutting cost and having package cars that work are not a needed. Heck just think of all the miles UPS can save without using those evil brown cars anyway.

Go big or go home!
We have 2 mechanics for 108 package cars, 2 Air trucks, 1 Bulk van, 6 tractor and 1 yard dog.
For 2 years we had one guy, because one retired. He damn near quit. They hire a new guy right before peak finally. Both are still over worked. Parts on order is a common thing. I’ve been told by the new guy he gets to swap out perfectly good parts (like coolant hoses) for garbage stuff.
Also, they won’t install fans on the new package cars, because they are still under warranty.

Judge me.
It was a joke. Green fluid. Blue + yellow = green. I was insinuating that someone peed in my fluid reservoir. Smh, part timers..

Our mechanic has about 30 trucks and he also changes out the argon canisters for the fuel pump because I pretend that I don't know how to.

All you really need to know is how to write this out: "Parts on order. Ok for service".
