Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

As said before I wonit be posting the company until it's confirmed and I know more of the company operations and policies

 

Wasn't asking you to confirm or deny. Hope it works out for you!

LTL sucks, I am glad I got out of it..I just miss the two/three wagon drag.

 

I agree I will miss pulling the doubles at night. I deff have a few screws loose to enjoy that. Never will get to do triples, but I wouldn't mind trying turnpike or Rocky Mountain. Both of those are allowed on the NY thruwa.

 

It's not just english or psych, I have a lot of friends in healthcare and other medical fields jealous.

At our terminal we only have 1 dock guy and he's casual. All the dock work is done by checker/drivers. We have I think 4 line guys we load in the evenings. I really like the senior guy line driver, I learn the most from him. When he's in I pay special attention and he's patient and clear with his instructions on what he wants me to do. He will see me standing around looking for something to do and give me some work before the supervisor walks in and gives me BS work to do. But all our runs are seniority based, hence I can't wait until we get 2 more drivers hired lol.

 

do You have a lot of wait time at UPS?

 

What do you mean by wait time?

my gf is finishing nursing school, the job she's getting will have her making more than me. Plus she gets a bonus for speaking multiple languages ( from Europe). We get barked at if we stop working for 5 seconds. I once stopped to look at my bills and the supervisor kept saying you have to keep working not allowed to stop, was very nasty about it too. I said right back are you kidding me, why does the part timer go out for smoke breaks every 5 min and does nothing all night and I'm busting my @$& and even come on 2 hours early to help the outbound out

 

Going above and beyond is rewarded with even more work
