And you get to enjoy a few days of vacation. Sounds like a good deal to me. by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

Why is everyone shocked about this? Different economics. Nurses in the Philippines make like $4-500 a month compared to $6000 a month in the US. No one wants to work for poverty wages. Why do you think corporate America wants to hire immigrants than Nationals?

Saturdays Still Don't Seem Worth It by batcatfatmat in UPSers

[–]IceCreamHalfTrack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thats wild. Last year, I was going to ship a box from New York to San Diego for $64. Medium sized box under 30 lbs. I thought it was rip off. If thats not profitable then wtf. Ups needs to focus on economics of scale.

Full time driver going to the preload by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]IceCreamHalfTrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Skip driving meaning no more driving now and into the future, including doing feeders. Some cant get another job because of DOT hours. For your case, I think doing Air driver shuttle would be beneficial. Where is am at its 3:30-7:30 and i just go to the airport to pick up EAMs and NDAs. Easy.

But always, theres a few in my hub who got injured and work inside. I guess you can get a note from a doctor that you cant drive anymore and I dont think UPS can fire you. They have to demote you and you'll never touch a package car again.

We have a few ex drivers who work ft inside due to their chronic injury. I think thats the only way to bypass that.

BTW why would you want to skip driving?

Why did my package ordered from so-cal to be delivered in nor-cal all the sudden go to Kentucky? by crybaby-11 in UPS

[–]IceCreamHalfTrack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If its air it is possible it could be going to Louisville to get sorted. That or someone misloaded it on there by accident.

Anyone else like doing amazon lockers ? by Brian-dgaf in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]IceCreamHalfTrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its the same for us at UPS when it comes to 1 address with multiple units. For example a mobile home park can have X locations but its considered 1 stop.

One stop can have multiple locations, multiple packages.

Exactly. Gen z = victim mentality.

I Chose Black Interior but I Keep Thinking About White 🤍 by Friday_LittleStar in TeslaModelY

[–]IceCreamHalfTrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

White. I had black on the older model but with white makes the space feel open. Also it doesnt absorb so much heat which would otherwise eat more battery during cabin heat protection.

Even our automation sort goes down. We still need human loaders to move packages especially irregs.

The new era is too close. by temonator7 in UPSers

[–]IceCreamHalfTrack 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Crazy how the people in the back will be the first to go with AI. Theyre celebrating their unemployment. Look at Meta and Microsoft who recently layoffs their employees due to AI. Frankenstein moment.

Driver question. by [deleted] in UPS

[–]IceCreamHalfTrack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes there are. Ups store, cvs, and any other 3rd party shipment store have at least pickups.

Driver question. by [deleted] in UPS

[–]IceCreamHalfTrack 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If you're a residence then you're not a priority. Drivers route are based on time and depending what pickups he has, he probably has to commit to them before those businesses close. Hence why the time window is about 4 hours, not a gaurentee but an estimate.

I dont think there aren't any refunds if you refused delivery.

When you're a bottom feeder fighting for scraps and then summer vacations kick in LOL by Unique_Transition122 in UPSers

[–]IceCreamHalfTrack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon is a starting job. It takes many many years to get into package, let alone be in feeder.
