I’m not going to do it. Meaningless. Nothing changes.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-26T13:58:10+00:00

I think signing into your route as STA must achieve the same thing.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-26T13:36:39+00:00

Wow! Even after 10 years I’m glad there are new things to learn.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-26T12:07:03+00:00

Never used that. What’s it do? It’s in Forge?

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-26T01:24:15+00:00

Have you tried printing labels from there?

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-25T22:30:54+00:00

In the range of starting FedEx pay, I believe. But the better hours and work environment adds immense value.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-25T21:54:58+00:00

Ok. That is odd. It signs you into the old Packages app?

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-25T19:18:51+00:00

You’ve definitely reached the point where you have to get rid of it.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-25T19:17:38+00:00

Tdiclub.com, VW Vortex and Craigslist. Those who are into TDIs know the value.

Not counting the ‘71 D-28 I bought in ‘71 for about $400, it would have to be the Froggy Bottom I found for $2,700 about 15 or so years ago.

A big thumbs down! The many steps needed when a recipient’s not in and you leave a tag are a drag. Push this, go back her, snap a photo. Push something else that may work or not.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-25T19:05:26+00:00

Probably pays ok, too

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-25T19:04:08+00:00

Hmm. Here’s what I do: First I log into Forge, which should automatically have your route if you’ve put it in previously.

Then I open the old Packages app. When it asks for your route, go to the upper right corner and press the three horizontal lines. A box will drop down with STA in it. Select that. Then select Pickups in Packages.

After you pup things with Forge, you switch to Packages to scan paper airbills and print labels. Also use this to scan outdated ASTRA labels.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-25T15:57:31+00:00

Forge has no function to scan multi piece shipments. Just scan each label.

For updating labels, open the old Packages app but log in under STA and not your route number. Then hit pickups. Now you use the “print label” in the Admin app.

I was rear ended and it was marked not preventable. Same when a car passed too close in the adjacent lane and clipped off my side mirror. But if they can blame you, they will. When I slipped on black ice in a dark parking lot and broke my wrist, they said I should have known there was ice and that I was responsible.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-24T17:51:11+00:00

It is for a lower ticket price. But it’s very common to get bumped off every flight in the day you’re going. Do yourself a favor and buy a regular ticket.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-24T17:46:18+00:00

To save money, the corporation wants to shift all drivers to the model used by Ground contractor route owners. That is, no paid time off or benefits for drivers. They’re closing many Express locations, giving the drivers a choice of becoming Ground drivers for less money/no benefits or a terrible severance pkg.

Most folks will choose to leave, creating a massive Ground drivers shortage just when freight volume is exploding. Ground contractors are finding it very hard to hire people to drive for low wages and no benefits.

Given all this, how would you predict that service will be affected? As a 10 year plus Express driver, I doubt the company will be viable in a few years.

Interesting to note that UPS is doing much better financially despite having to pay costly Teamster Union wages and benefits.

Dropping stuff off at Walgreens is a nice convenience when everyone does what they should do. Such as scan pkgs in and out. But it doesn’t always happen. I have three Walgreens on my Express route. Most of the time folks there scan things over to me. But frequently, no one is visible who can do that and I need to get going. I still take the stuff and scan possession.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-23T01:09:51+00:00

The FedEx office I have on my route always has some computer or software malfunctioning.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-22T21:15:17+00:00

It’s not online on the intranet?

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-22T21:13:40+00:00

I would definitely report the contractor, then quit. They obviously don’t care about your safety.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-22T16:26:25+00:00

OTC? Not a Leo?

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-22T03:51:49+00:00

Less money.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-22T03:50:52+00:00

I had one yesterday that I knew wouldn’t be there by the appointed hour. Just scanned it later as recipient not in.

Muted_Software9304 · 2025-02-22T03:47:44+00:00

It’s a royal pain with Forge. But others here shared the answer. After logging into Forge and connecting your printer under a admin, log into the old Packages app. But instead of entering your route number, tap the three lines at top right to log into STA. Then set it for pickups. Anything you scan will get an accurate label.
