UPS Management Complaining AGAIN.

[Catatonic]

Wonder if telematics told the mechanics that the door was going tits up and to get someone ready to come out on a service call because this was the actual intention of having telematics, to prewarn the shop about issues before they happen.... RIGHT????

Now my head hurts!

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

My bulk head door broke today so it was open for about an hour and a half til they came to fix it...wonder if they'll write me up lol

Yes

 

[Coldworld]

Don't you have a medical marajuna card??? Night help your head

It is a place where UPS pays you not to work. Just hang out and look busy for 8 hours. Or play on your phone. Nobody cares.

I actually found a good car wash guy in my building. Always leaves me room to park my truck, and gasses me up whenever I ask.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Told that to the car wash this week. We have to start shutting the bulkhead door while taking cars to the primary to be unloaded. We are showing up on a report.

Huh? There has to be a DIAD linked to the PC for that PC to show up on Telematics. Driving around the yard with the doors open will not show up on a report.

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

Orion guy used to be an on car sup an told me delivering out the drivers side is part of the methods. Wasn't when I started.

This is a recent change and is intended only for small packages.

Whenever I have a mechanical issue that may affect my Telematics data I will always send a message letting my mgt team know. They hate surprises.

Just go in the back door all day. It will take IE months to figure it out.

Back in the day, we were trained to put the next couple of stops in the front, if they were small.

They were talking about the original, intended reason telematics was created.

Many of the newer small truck's steps are absolutely not big enough to exit the vehicle without sliding down them. (Hence the post from IVE on the previous page.)

DVIR works just as well unless it's an emergency situation.
I laugh when they ask drivers about something that shows up on the report and the driver replies "Did you check my DVIR? It's written up. Did you fix it?"
The clueless blank stare tells the whole story.

As I said, my mgt team hates surprises and I would rather than give them a heads up then have a sit down the following morning.

A"sit down"?
Yawn.

You gotta "sit down" to tell them you wrote it up?
Whatever.

 

[ManInBrown]

Yep like a stupid deer in the headlight... Like I stated on here a few days ago mgt has told us that we should be exiting out the drivers side door if we only have 1 or 2 pkgs...and that this is the new method that has been taught in new in road sup classes...even though they have always told us not to do this because of it being a safety issue....

They can write me up every day. I will never do that

If the driver didn't punch out yet,it will show on the telematics report
Another glitch in the system.

I was told no.....certain distance to the building it cancels

I guess something changed. Warned us about seatbelts and bulkhead door being opened driving inside the fence.

Me either. The new steps are like a vertical ladder. I nearly fell on my face the first time I exited the driver's side with my new truck.

It's a horrible design. That's one of the reasons I asked for my old truck back.

I care. Wash my truck and be quick about it.

Once it gets warm, keep a thermometer in the back, one that reads at least 140 deg since 120 deg is easily surpassed.

Next time your sup mentions anything about the bulkhead staying open, you tell them you need airflow when looking for misloads. Then call OSHA and tell then the back of your package car gets between 120 and 140 deg and has basically zero ventilation.

Is working in 120 to 140 degrees with no ventilation an OSHA violation?
