    i "figured" you were on some sort of GM, VW, Volvo, Ford, Chrysler account.

    UPS Freight, has (or had) the VW account at one time..now you know UPS is union, so it'll be a "little better" with equipment, but the working conditions with weather and stuck cages in deep snow, or ice will be the same.

    UPS Freight (also known previously as OverNite) also had (at one time) some of the chain auto parts stores, in MY area of New England.

    it is a BS job, if you are alone, it is an "ok job" if you have a helper

    UPS Logistics Were non- union and did the dedicated accounts.
    Don't know if T-Force got them in the deal or not.
    Had the GM out of Sparks NV. Parts one week and sheet metal the next. What a night-mirror.
    Heavy stuff floor loaded. Orders not loaded together had to dig through the trailer to find.
    Dealerships got cars parked all over and in the way. Some places had a ramp and forklift others it was your lift gate and your back to unload. IT SUCKED....
    Some places you had a key and did it at night after closing.

    oh on the 1 and ONLY night i did the "job".../??

    what fun it was to find parts on the trailer floor, that fell out of the cages...

    i didn't need that crap that 1 night, let alone a long term job there.

    Don't have to worry about snow or ice, I'm in Phoenix.

    Been doing it for 8 months now, done at the end of the month.

    I had a helpers. They hire drivers and have them ride on other routes as helpers until a route opens up. I told them to stop sending me helpers. They don't pay me to team drive or train and helpers were more of a hassle than they were worth. I left 2 at the yard because they couldn't show up on time.

    My first few stops are at night. I have keys to all my stops.
    Everything floor loaded, sometimes in cages or totes.
    I swear dealers put cars just to make the job harder.
    All my stops are liftgate and pallet jack.
    For the most part everything is in order though. Anything loaded in the wrong spot goes back to the warehouse. It definitely sucks. Only 6 more nights though.

    Update:

    DBL claimed they had a meeting about this. Meeting didn't work though as I got 2 more stacks this week. I left them on the trailer. Sent my DBL pics and told him. Haven't heard back from him yet.
