no one filled out a closure sheet for this route so my day has been wasted driving boxes around

Would you rather drive boxes around, or have 4 full routes crammed into one truck? Closure sheets are what the company uses to justify cutting an insane number of routes. I never fill them out. If my truck is half full of closed stops, all it means is that I will get done in time to go help some poor schmuck who got hit with a 14 hour dispatch.

Off next week, worked this week. On 9.5 list. I could use OT money, I'm just not willing to kill myself for it. Peak is enough murder for me, delivering in the dark, missing my family, bad weather (though I can't really complain). WE control the work we do. Do your best and get paid. Simple. Faster is not safer.

Unless the junior driver has unused personal time and the Senior driver is out of personal/option time.

Optional requests have to be filed a week in advance around here.

Work smarter, not harder.

CLO-H are not included in that metric.

We get crucified if we sheet a closed bulk stop of 5 packages or more as CLO-H.

I saw my cover driver on Friday. He thanked me for turning in as complete a closings list as I could. He had 2 stops that he couldn't get rid of. In return he assured me he would make sure to refuel on his way in.

Were you doing OAO's?

Same here. But you know they always play "Let's Make A Deal"

I didnt fill out any closure sheet aside from marking scheduled pickups closed in the diad so my center used historical data instead.

I got talked to about only having 4 known closed on the satellite route I covered. Told bosses that its not my route but was told to get as many as possible. Got as many as I cared to get, (which wasn't many), but found out Friday that 75 percent of what I turned in as known closed was still on car, including pickups. Made it a point to work as I was taught and drove to every pickup to sheet as closed.

Ended up working 12 hours, (and drove 320 miles), because with all the technology we have at our disposal to monitor us drivers, we still cant figure out how to put closed stops into our dispatch computer.

Shouldn't the cover driver refuel your vehicle for you anyway? That's common practice here.

Not my truck. Never know where you will be next Monday. I just wish they would run the truck trough the wash tunnel. Just hate going out with a dirty truck on a nice day.

So you don't have car washers? Who smear your clean windshield and mirrors with a nasty rag and fuel it? Also put a new scratch on the bumper once a week haha

Our car washers do that

Our car washers do that

Our PT car washers fueled and washed the package cars everyday. To save money UPS turned the job over to FT and Art 22.3 jobs. Now UPS pays FT to just hang out for 8 hours and look busy and drink coffee.

Our car wash is full time.

We dont have car washers that are useful. We fuel our own vehicles.

I rarely have to fuel my vehicle, unless they are having problems with the fuel pumps

I was paid on Friday for hanging out at the campground and as a bonus I was paid again on Saturday for doing the same thing.

You'll want to work July 3rd they said....It will be light and easy money they said...lol
Three routes combined into one and 50% more stops than yesterday. Will be kicking them in the wallet tonight. Leave the lights on for me.

How did it work out?
