TM also showed me as recording in travel many times one particular day. I didn't wait for them to come to me I went to them throwing the BS flag. I don't record in travel; I used to sometimes record while idling when at a flag stop pickup but now I religiously shut down the car.
Mgmt kinda shrugged their shoulders and told me to write it up on the DVIR. Nothing ever came of it.
I am wondering if the two systems (telematics and the diad system) sometimes just get a little out of sinc and it rings up a bunch of stops just after you start the car back up.
Anyway I am pretty sure there will be a car load of packages waiting for me in the morning...
This is where a business manager (center manager) has to make a tough choice, service over savings. 60-80 miles RT for a misload would not happen in my center---it would be sheeted as missed. We do run off misloads adjacent to our delivery areas and, if directed, will leave misloads further away at a drop off location to be picked up and shuttled. Most of the misloads that I get are for a town 50 miles away. I am one of the more service conscious drivers in my center but even I know that driving 100 miles RT for a basic just does not make sense.
I have never delivered a pkg past 8:30 in 23 years of driving. I keep hearing about all these drivers working until 10 or later. Does everyone make 100K a year?
IMO
Rasies for part timers are long past due.
We get 2 raises a year...
More like two 1/2 raises...
Still 2 raises. 90 cents a year adds up
i'm retired so i don't have a vote,but for anybody still working at u.p.s. that wants to retire,they sent us a letter telling us our insurance was going from $50/mo. to $495/mo.(10 times what we're paying,almost 20% of a 25 yr.retiree's net pension check)and can go up every year after this.what they didn't tell us ,is that it is negotiable in the new contract.now if you want to work an extra 5 years ($100/mo/every year over 25 yrs.),you could retire with the same benefits,but wait!the insurance can go up every year,so no matter how many extra years you work you may never be able to retire with the same benefits again.this is absolutely critical for you ,if you want to retire someday.make sure your fellow u.p.s.ers know about this and talk to your union!retirement has been the best years of my life,don't let u.p.s.take it away from you.
