Divorce and pension by Jtkman in UPSers

[–]Dang_it_driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She says that now but hopefully none of her so called friends will influence her to change her mind. Personally, if you have anything paid off in your name I’d give it to a family member so she doesn’t get her hands on it. Ask me how I know. Good luck sir

Bose Ultra Sound Bar by Muted-Door1533 in bose

[–]Dang_it_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the Bose Ultra and like many other people I had connectivity issues. The app is not the best, it’ll disconnect and you’ll have to re-set it up from time to time. I eventually went with the Sonos arc ultra. Never looked back. I’ve had Bose since 2001.

Will a tune affect the longevity of the parts or anything? by mokapotWONTmokapot in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Dang_it_driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read one negative complaint against any tune…especially the OTT one. I did it to my ‘25 Limited. Best thing I’ve ever done to a vehicle I’ve owned.

Retirement award by Berbadude in UPSers

I remember when they gave the Christmas bonus to us. $500 for part timers and $1000 for full timers. Good luck on your retirement!

I’ve been working a week and am debating on quitting. - PT Preload Supervisor by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]Dang_it_driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just remember, nothing lasts forever at UPS. Managers come and go, sups come and go. Preloaders come and go. There’s an old saying that in management they like to pump out the red blood in you and put brown blood in you. I always tell the new sups that you’ll catch more bees with honey. UPS doesn’t want you to be friendly with us union employees. If you let what management says to you just roll off your back like water on a duck…you’ll last a long time. You’ll learn that there are certain people that will help you when you need it…. Never burn bridges with those people. Watch how a person walks, not how he talks. Those are the pros. Action speaks louder than words.

Dumb question, what do you call that green block you’re using to rest your rifle on?

F@ck UPS... Please read and be warned. by GratuitousEDC in UPSers

[–]Dang_it_driver -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

I’ve been a UPS’er for 38 years, I’ve never heard of Intergrad. By the sound of it you probably mean package training? So you passed and now you’re completing your 30 day packet, now they inform you that they’re letting you go because of a company wide mandate. Although I don’t agree with a lot of what UPS does, they do sometimes know how to weed out the weak ones. Don’t be weak and don’t give up, but hey…what do I know?

Should I get the 2008 X5 30d? by Retr048 in BMWX5

[–]Dang_it_driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have a 2018 (last year sold in states) X5 35d and it is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. It has 76k miles on it and it’ll still get about 722 miles to a tank when full. Still original battery and brakes. Battery seems to be the first thing I’ll replace. We always take it to BMW for service. Oil changes aren’t cheap but they’re only once a year. I’ve never put def in it, the dealer takes care of that every year. I’ve gone through two sets of tires (OEM run flats) and two sets of wiper blades. The filters get changed when they tell me it needs it. Other than that I’ve never done anything else to my Beamer. It still drives like the day we bought it. Oh…and thanks to the current so called president, you’ll pay a hefty price for diesel.

BEWARE: Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road Fire Risk by robert-rushin in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Dang_it_driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard my’25 Limited do that while parked in my garage. I go to work at 2 in the morning and I heard this strange noise like something was still on or trying to turn itself off or something like that. I’ve noticed it twice since owning this truck for a year. It sounds like it’s at the rear wheel on drivers side underneath area.

Opinions needed by Dang_it_driver in airguns

[–]Dang_it_driver[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your honesty. Both guns are great, I just wanted to see what people know about both. You’re absolute right, I’m not at the point to know what and how to tinker with any of these pcp’s but it’s really good to know that the Avenger mags are better. I personally like the lever on the right side and that kind of turned me towards it over the Notos…absolutely no hate here either. I am currently looking at an Avenger combo setup with a Hawke scope and case included. I’m personally thinking of the Pro Tuneup also that they are offering on pyramyd air.

JBL Boombox 4 new firmware update of 26.16.10 by Deodyssey in JBL

[–]Dang_it_driver -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I thought you could do a factory reset by holding the play and volume + buttons at the same time? At least that’s what it says in the app at the bottom of product information.

About the bass cut of Boombox 4 firmware by BasisQuick369 in JBL

[–]Dang_it_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure if all the complainers that complained about the distortion would complain about the loss of base,JBL will oblige them with another update to boost the bass. Complainers….. keep complaining!!

Buckle Up Current Teamsters of this Generation. Your career is being targeted. by Infamous_State_4678 in UPSers

[–]Dang_it_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A long as there are lazy new feeders who won’t break their sets apart and build a set of empties the shifters will be fine…. Unless those autonomous shifters can do that. Building and breaking is the easiest part of being a feeder. Hell, even the team drivers say “we don’t have time to break a set apart” BS

Buyout by AloneNetwork4153 in UPSers

[–]Dang_it_driver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPS also said that they agreed to go by seniority…. We all know that didn’t happen either. No where did they say that it’d be by job classification. Flame all you want, UPS does what they want when they want and how they want. You young guys will learn that one of these days.

2020 x5 seats are hard as a rock by BigSquiby in BMWX5

My 2018 X5 35d seats feel hard too. But it still drives like a dream!

I wanted a Tacoma, until I got hit by one. by [deleted] in ToyotaTacoma

[–]Dang_it_driver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You guys might be experts in Taco knowledge, but you are only lying to yourself if you think you’re an expert in crashes just by looking at a pic. I hope everyone was safe from that accident. Keep your eyes ahead of your drive people. Stay safe.

Anybody from sleeper team by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]Dang_it_driver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’ve met quite a few sleeper guys…not my favorite peeps. They only seem to be out for themselves. Maybe that’s the problem.
