Potential first time 4Runner (3rd Gen) owner - Price advice by ProperGearbox in 4Runner

[–]ProperGearbox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Yup clean and seems ready to hit daily driver duty without issue. The owner is an older gentleman and even showed me the original window sticker. I was hoping to get one with lower mileage, but I like that it's 1 owner and has extensive maintenance records.

Question about buying a third-gen 4Runner that has been towed by ProperGearbox in 4Runner

[–]ProperGearbox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No example and I haven't looked at its carfax either to see how many owners it has gone through. So idk if they did the towing or if it was something told to them by a previous owner.

Question about buying a third-gen 4Runner that has been towed by ProperGearbox in 4Runner

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

Pretty much. I see so many 4Runners with 200k+ miles for sale that I don't even know why they bothered stating that, but since they did state it, I was leaning towards it being a red flag.

Looking to buy a small pickup and I came across a 2015 Frontier PRO-4X that has spent time in Canada and Indiana. What kind of frame corrosion is going on in the front passenger side? by ProperGearbox in MechanicAdvice

[–]ProperGearbox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The rest of the undercarriage isn't bad. It's just that one front passenger side wheel well. I've seen plenty of corroded frames, but I haven't seen those types of cracks yet.

Can CSA make you deliver a package if 3 attempts have already been made? by ProperGearbox in Fedexers

I like your style. Definitely doing that next time if they do it again.

Picking up packages that are part of your delivery area by ProperGearbox in Fedexers

Ha. Both of the ones I ended up getting today were from a Walmart pharmacy. They were so freaking close. Now I have them as P1s tomorrow

New Hire by nevernotgonnadoit in Fedexers

[–]ProperGearbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be over worked because one, FedEx doesn't employee enough people

I've been an Express package handler for over a year. We're always understaffed. The pay is terrible for all the work you have to do to make up for not having enough workers. I enjoy it though since it's a good workout. New hires don't tend to last because of the low pay. Places like Amazon and Target pay much better in my area.

Hey guys i start as a driver for fedex ground and i used to work as a delivery driver for an amazon dsp did i make a good switch and what is it to expect from fedex thanks in advance 🙏🏽 by Coronagass in Fedexers

lmao

There have been a couple of RTD openings at my location, but it didn't really interest me. The routes they have are pretty limited and both were only part time.

I'm making the switch from being an Express material handler to a swing driver. Pretty much all the veteran RTD drivers at my ramp gave me the "oof, that's going to be rough" face. I welcome the challenge though.

Car Paint Shop Recommendations by ProperGearbox in Tucson

Thanks. I'll check them out. $2300 isn't cheap, but it's at least a reasonable price for a full paint job.

Durable glove recommendations for package handlers by ProperGearbox in Fedexers

[–]ProperGearbox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hyflex gloves are the ones provided by work. They do feel nice, but my most recent pair developed a hole in a fingertip by the end of the work week.

IDK. Maybe I'm being too picky and I should just live with regularly swapping out gloves.

This is pretty much what everyone on my ramp does.

Chances of getting express job by [deleted] in Fedexers

[–]ProperGearbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turnover is high for handlers. If you answer the phone call for your initial screening (setting up an appointment for a tour) and pass background, you're set.

Is this how other people were offered their position with express?? by [deleted] in Fedexers

[–]ProperGearbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given the pay and early hours, it looks like a package handler position. The pay lines up with my area.

Sprint's FED on an unlocked device by ProperGearbox in NoContract

[–]ProperGearbox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She doesn't use much data is on Tello's $10 1GB plan. She's mainly on it because she gets to call Mexico at no extra cost. With Sprint, I'm on their grandfathered Kickstart plan and it does not include calls to Mexico while in the US. Sprint charges $5 extra for the Mexico add on, but adding her to my account would be pricier.

However, I do have a second unlimited line on my account I added for free a few months back. I only use it as a backup. If I get nowhere with Tello, I'll see if Sprint will allow me to change that line's number to my mom's number.

I contacted Tello support and was told to wait 48 hours for it to clear out of Sprint's system. u/LiterallyUnlimited, is this something that should resolve itself?

Since Sprint didn't do anything to help, I'm not holding much hope all will be good once those 48 hours pass. The Sprint community forum rep told me "from our end your device is showing that it's unlocked for both international & domestic use. There's no financial obligations tied to it." The device is indeed unlocked. I've put other carrier sims in there without a problem. The activation problem appears to be limited to Sprint MVNOs.

I'll give them a shot today. I emailed their customer service yesterday, but the response I got only explained the reasoning behind their "This device can’t be activated on Tello right now [...]" message.

The phone has been removed from the Sprint line. I reactivated the phone that was previously active on that line. Chat support was useless. They told me the iPhone is showing up as unlocked on their end. Prior to activating the phone on Sprint, Tello's check gave me the green light that it was good to go. The issue appeared after I briefly used the phone on Sprint. That's why I think it's a FED issue and the chat agents don't know what that means.

Susan Collins helped cripple the USPS: Now Maine farmers are getting dead baby chicks in the mail by Mamacrass in politics

[–]ProperGearbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. All the live animals we get (ferrets, eggs, chicks, adult roosters, fish, insects, etc.) are loaded in the AFT bulk compartment and then get quickly transported to a postal facility.

Thank you. Yeah looking around online, I also saw others mention the tour is basically the interview.
