UPS Driver Survival Guide

[OLDMAN3]

Just a heads up for all the new drivers (and some of the old)...
Here is some very good advice compiled together in the form of a survivor's guide to UPS:

A little of it is outdated such as keeping a notebook (a phone documents much better along with pictures) And mine comes with OneNote which syncs with my computer and produces a searchable data base. I document everything!

But the guide really has a lot of sage advice.

Johnnyfootball2014 what is anti-teamsters about his advice:

-Become involved in your Union, help your steward, listen to your BA.
-Go to the Union meetings
-Demand a steward when questioned by management
-Demand to be treated with respect by management
-Don't work off the clock
-Don't lie, and let your steward/BA know how you will be answering questions at a disciplinary hearing.
-Do nothing dishonest or illegal even if asked to do so by management.
-Keep records of all interactions with management/document everything
-Don't falsify delivery records even if told to do so by management
-Don't take anything that is not yours, not even a pen
-Don't forge signatures
-Don't open packages
-Don't steal time
-Stay out of customer's houses
-Don't flirt with customers
-Report all accidents no mater how small
-Refuse to drive unsafe vehicles
-Don't sign anything you disagree with
-Report all work related injuries as such
-Use your own doctor for treatment, UPS's doctor can have split loyalties

Yeah, I guess I am a troll for suggesting this stuff to new drivers
