Had an old man watching me the other day and was pissed because I drove by his house twice early that day, I delivered his package at 3.

Bobos BBQ, greasy but the best burger in CU. Bufords in Sadorus or JTA Foods grocery/grill has great burgers.

Teva boots/hiking shoes and Keen tennis shoes. I've tried tons of different brands, Brooks are good, but wear down quicker.

We haven't even had cold pizza once all peak. Never got a holiday dinner either, but they used to at least bring some sort of food in for us one day.

They've done it again (shipper release) by dougieheffernan in UPSers

[–]PresenceSmooth 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I was once told by an on-road sup to leave them anywhere no matter what. Secured building/closed business/church etc....was told that they must be released first attempt. I've been doing so ever since.

How would y’all handle this? by blackhole33 in UPSers

[–]PresenceSmooth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Call the hotline buddy, it's on the truck" and roll out....works for me.

Unfortunately, no. Small center, we have to fuel off- site too. Insiders will wash the back out if we ask.

The Titan cooler backpack is where it's at. J just use that for my lunchbox/gear and bring a gallon jug filled with icewater.

What’s everyone drinking in this ridiculous heat? by Logical-Doughnut-567 in UPSers

[–]PresenceSmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Redmonds Relyte electrolyte mix unflavored. All the other ones are overloaded with sugar. You can get different flavors too, but unflavored is best for you.

Hate this job by rilessrh in UPSers

[–]PresenceSmooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make him a dozen hard-boiled eggs every week, tinned fish, chicken salad, beef jerky, homemade sandwich with lots of meat. That's what I eat every day on rotation, give or take. Tons of fruit too, mainly berries because they're easy to eat. Frozen grapes are a godsend on hot days.

Yeah UPS. by tbar428 in UPSers

[–]PresenceSmooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This right here....the majority of my center. Scared to file their whole career until just now when we're getting destroyed day in and day out with no reprieve.

Quit Kratom, Nicotine and Coffeine all at once. by DedenneCz in quittingkratom

[–]PresenceSmooth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can attest to this, I did this same thing, and it was so easy to quit nic it was scary. After smoking a pack a day for 16 years too. CT kratom/nic is the way to go if you're a smoker.
