UPS Freight Diary:

Please stay tuned---will post asap.

2) i did state that i passed a lot which, i feel, contributed to the lame 77K.

 

Very sorry i could not post for a while. i was and am very busy (perhaps that is a good thing?)







i will post notes as they come to me:

1) The declaration i made previously that linehaul was better than sex was a stupid and irresponsible statement. i HATE linehaul. It could really mess you up physically and neurologically.

2) i am on city extraboard now. Still fun. Lots of variety. The way we do it at my terminal is that i need to fill in for linehaul when needed. The official way to do it is i believe dock/cdl has to do it, not city extraboard. But this is the way we do it at my terminal. And it's a little complicated why it's like this and i don't feel like getting into more detail as to why at the moment.
i know i stated that i hate linehaul and i do, but every now and then is ok for variety. You'll see in the above checks that i filled in occasionally.
i don't remember my last inside delivery and have been tipped at least $40 since the new bid started.

3) The jockeys at harrisburg (a.k.a. grumpyburg) are very grumpy./rude. Them peoples is not getting laid is my theory on this. Including one of the girl jockeys.

4) From my observations, UPSF is one of the most selfish companies around; It's all about numbers first. i delivered to a celebrity and we treated his stuff like @#$. So, we don't care if you're a celebrity or not-----WE DON'T GIVE A DAM ABOUT YOU OR YOUR FREIGHT.
It's still a good place to work though, but as far as customer non-service it's horrible.

i will post more notes as they come to me.

 

What a reversal of fortune:

i cannot post checks because the company will not print stubs unless/until the crisis is over (what that has to do with the crisis, i don't know)
Anyways, my last pay, NET, was $599.20, so you can figure how pitiful the gross was, also take into consideration that i take maximum deductions. This was for 2 days only.

There have been a few layoffs at my terminal and there is only one driver left below me.

i have since been moved to the dock, not openly voluntarily because i would NEVER enthusiastically volunteer for dock, but offered a move to the dock. i can get to learn to "love" the dock REAL quick given the circumstances.

It's not a permanent move. Just for the situation. i think it's .25 cents less per hr than driving? i'll take it.

 

Also, i can say that construction and residentials don't seem to be slowing down one bit around here.

 

Since everyone and myself seem to have much more time, i figured this would be a good time to empty out and organize all the stored pictures i had.

One of things i love about extraboard (there are disadvantages too) is the variety; You will see alot.
You could literally go from delivering at the airport to a farm in one day:



These two, i was leaving norfolk on linehaul last summer. We got stuck on the bridge and i don't remember why.

 

So, i was wondering, at this point, if we could keep all comments germane and USEFUL to the conversation?

Thanks.

Also, post your checks.
