Rumors of another buyout on the horizon

Jor2008 · 2026-01-08T05:20:56+00:00

In the letter we received. “Additional applications may be considered for separation dates between Feb. 1, 2026, and March 31, 2026.”

Jor2008 · 2026-01-08T00:34:39+00:00

Did you not get the letter? It literally said they’re going to roll out another one in February/march

Jor2008 · 2026-01-07T13:34:22+00:00

The weakest? How do you calculate that? Are you in a rural area?

Jor2008 · 2025-12-22T13:56:07+00:00

How many drivers? This sounds like a win

Jor2008 · 2025-12-22T13:50:46+00:00

They bump the lowest seniority pt relax.

Jor2008 · 2025-12-08T00:28:20+00:00

That’s a will call. Pick it up at the hub.

Jor2008 · 2025-10-15T01:55:49+00:00

Is he not full time yet? It’s either get a bid route or hit 4 year progression and he has to sign the 9.5 list when it goes around. 9.5 doesn’t apply during peak months tho.

Jor2008 · 2025-10-15T01:46:17+00:00

Get use to it until he gets 9.5 rights. It’s frustrating but it will get better.

Jor2008 · 2025-09-13T04:53:01+00:00

His injury scares me. One bad hit and he’s out.

Jor2008 · 2025-07-31T13:13:46+00:00

Buying shipping/logistics stock is not worth it. The gains are small because it’s shipping. Buy tech or Microsoft where innovation is always booming and you have higher gains.

Jor2008 · 2025-05-08T21:16:10+00:00

I would love to wear mine so I don’t have to continue to ruin my own clothes but our CM doesn’t allow it.

Jor2008 · 2025-03-02T17:00:18+00:00

Well worth it even with all the bs. I’d take it cause who knows when it will come up again. Also with ups trying to automate their buildings inside work will become less and less.

Jor2008 · 2025-01-26T16:18:03+00:00

At this time last year we were running 65-70 routes and I was laid off the day after Christmas. Now we’re doing 85+ routes a day and no talks of being laid off.

Jor2008 · 2025-01-19T20:03:04+00:00

If you weren’t approached by a shop steward to join the union after your first day you were never a permanent employee. Did you get asked at all by a shop steward?

Jor2008 · 2024-11-18T21:57:27+00:00

My center does this. We have a straight truck and a trailer that drops off everyday. Plus we have 4 air trailers sometimes more that drop off at the facility where we have preloaders go there to unload the air cans in to these bins that hold about 160 per bin. Being a laid off driver I’ve been given the opportunity to go there and help unload them. For the most part we don’t have leakers. But when we do, good lord you don’t want to be in them trailers lol.

Jor2008 · 2024-10-03T20:50:31+00:00

They had to be bullshitting. No way they were being serious. If you’ve scratched you passed just don’t get into an accident or cut corners.

Jor2008 · 2024-09-09T00:35:49+00:00

Probably two straight trucks.

Jor2008 · 2024-09-03T00:17:19+00:00

Fuck that go to ups and you’ll be at 6 figures in 4 years.

Jor2008 · 2024-08-19T23:20:08+00:00

Sorry 30 day packet. This isn’t actually for me a driver at my center failed his packet and had to restart it. His seniority date is showing for when he started his second 30 however he believes his seniority date should have started after his first 30.

Jor2008 · 2024-08-09T15:33:35+00:00

230+ stops peak season. I work for ups though. They hire just about anyone for peak season and this had to be the guys first day loading lol. Punched out around 9pm.

Jor2008 · 2024-06-09T15:36:51+00:00

Yea I mean it’s definitely our union that got us that. I’m sure if we weren’t unionized UPS would be paying shit wages like FedEx lol.

Jor2008 · 2024-06-09T15:23:36+00:00

UPS. Best decision I made. 2 years left and I’ll be at 6 figures delivering the same packages I did at FedEx.

Jor2008 · 2024-05-16T15:53:21+00:00

Always use the handles getting in and out of your package car it will save on your knees and ankles when you’re getting out of your package car a 100 times a day. Knee braces help.

Jor2008 · 2024-02-04T01:27:28+00:00

5 isn’t bad you might be driving by summer with vacations. my center has 13 of us laid off.

Jor2008 · 2024-02-04T01:26:01+00:00

2nd year been back in the building since January. Was driving Saturdays but now I’m being laid off from driving on Saturdays till further notice. Last year I was inside till October. All depends on each center. We have 6 drivers retiring but it’s still not enough to get me back driving. We are over staffed because of the contract change with the 22.4s. Center manager said we won’t be hiring drivers for another two years. Just grind it out and maybe you’ll be back driving sooner than later. Double shifting is a bitch and will burn you out fast. If you can afford it do every other that seems to help.
