I work further south of you on the east coast and my terminal is horrible, Too many bringbacks everyday, drivers leaving to make deliveries or pickups late in the day. I don't understand why it's being run like ****. All I hear every time I go to work are drivers bitching and complaining about management and filling grievances on a daily basis. I for one will never want to get promoted and just go and try to work the dock the best I can with very bad forklifts that either burn my ass cause they run so hot, don't work, not enough with weight scales, very short forks, barely running, you name it but UPS Freight will run them to the ground before buying new forklifts yet they want us to work faster and by the book. One day alone I was on my forth forklift cause they were breaking down. The dock alone needs ALOT of work with some dock plates in really bad conditions. Old trailers and tractors with "Overnite" compared to the new UPS Freight equipment is like 80/20 with terminal still looking like overnite. And people are confused on who we are and I have to say the equipment compared to Fedex Freight and all the other carriers look very bad and old. I'm going to try and hang on thru the holidays if I don't loose my mind and leave early but I don't see myself working for UPS Freight in it's current way for very much longer. I seem to only complain and I have to be honest and say I can't say anything good with my time as a UPS Freight employee. I hope things change for the better and quick. Where do I find this survey?
