UPS to deliver seven days week

[542thruNthru]

Did we all forget this video? Laugh all you want but I bet UPS is looking at rural areas more then city when it comes to drones.

Not saying its going to be a great idea but I'm sure they will try it.

Half the cover drivers I talked to said they will quit if forced into a wed-sun 22.4 schedule...

Saturdays are horrible I couldn't even imagine how bad a Sunday would be.

For cloud services? Sure.

Ummmm yes.
Amazon web services is the backbone for Netflix.

If they want to go full time that's the avenue they are going to have to take until a RPCD spot opens up.

They are going to need people for Saturday and Sunday deliveries

From the article...

"UPS is expanding its delivery to seven days a week on Jan. 1 and has set up a subsidiary to deliver packages via drones."

Subsidiary???
Taking volume?

The drone business will operate is a wholly owned subsidiary called "Flight Forward".

Strike strike strike

It will be some tool sitting in a office flying it.

Open end wrench, or a Crescent Wrench?
A pair of Pliers, maybe?

For those of you that hate that fact that UPS works with USPS, I’m sorry in advance.

I like the USPS. I hate surepost. Should have never been created. Those are our stops, for our guys. Imagine if we delivered all the surepost, how many more routes we'd need
