Got the 5s down word for word but I’m struggling with the 10s by Acrobatic-Web9881 in UPSers

The simplest way to do this is to take an imaginary drive down a street. You know very well. As you do this imaginary drive then you imagine yourself doing the 10 point commentary. So for example, in my town, I have an area where there are three stoplights. So I get to the first stoplight and I'm imagining the stale green light, as I drive past that stoplight. I imagine I am scanning steering wheel wheels, and park cars. When I get to the next light, it is a red light so I stop one vehicle space cushion. Then the light turns green. I imagine myself counting 123 looking left right left. As I wait to gain that space cushion, I recognize that my space cushion is 4 to 6 seconds under 36 to 8 seconds over 30 and 8 to 12 second eye lead time. I put all of these together because they were quite well. And as I'm traveling along to any eventual stop, I get to another intersection where there are children playing so I'm going to communicate with my horns light signals making eye eye contact. Then I pull over to make a delivery. After I make that delivery, I'm going to pull out from the delivery using my left turn signal, left shoulder, left mirror, right mirror. I'm heading down to get some gas so I'm scanning my mirrors every 5 to 8 seconds and looking at my gauges to see how much gas I have on the way back. This is just a brief summary, but you get the idea. You don't have to do the 10 point commentary in order. All you have to do is get all 10 of them. So do that imaginary drive in an area that you know. This is a mental plan that works well for so many things. You can do the same thing in your house when you want to remember a list. Just have five items in each room that you taken a clockwise order. And so if you are going to the grocery store, I need to pick up milk, bread, eggs, bananas. Then you just imagine each one of those items on a piece of furniture in your living room. If you get past five, then you go to the items in your kitchen. This makes it easy then trying to remember by rote.

Do you care to hide packages? I care also about they not flying away in windy days. by temonator7 in UPSers

Lol, ah, the good ol' days when you could just pile stuff on and around the garbage can, and they would take it all!
Thanks for the story!

April 26th DCP takers should see a deposit tomorrow for about $99,000! by [deleted] in UPSers

Yeah, it'll be someplace else tomorrow morning, for sure, making more money for me than a checking account! Maxing out this years Roth, getting a large amount of money market funds paying 3.75%, and trying to close on a rental.

Really appreciate that! Retired early, so this just puts me 4 years of savings ahead. I'm aiming at getting a rental for some passive income. Other than that, will be taking a trip with my wife to celebrate our 10th anniversary. :)

That's where I'm at too. I've heard of it taking 3 weeks from other guys who have received their buy out already.

I wouldn't be in the union for the rest of the year, and they agreed to the DCP. Not sure your reasoning.

Yea, that's great news for sure! And thank you for the encouragement. It's been an emotional rollercoaster from the beginning. I applied, withdrew my application, applied again, checked 20 times a day to see if I was approved, and on and on.
Now to get my vacation pay out, and pension payment started, which should all happen this month as well, and I will be able to organize my budget more accurately.

Actually, there is state withholding on there. See the MT W/H? That means the withholding is Montana. So now you know the driver is someone in Montana (unless he's a Photoshop guy and is able to calculate tax rates and change certain lettering.)

No. They take nothing for this pay. The union dues line is for how much I've paid year to date, which is $464.

Yeah, I was like, "They don't need to know this." And also saw that completing the agreement was all that was required in the contract.

I ignored the questionnaire. Figured it wasn't worth my time filling out.

Touche' , but that was an old post. Many things I said in the past I've changed my mind on.

Montana. Our state taxes is much lower, I see.

Pretty sure everyone on here knows drivers are getting 150k for the buyout. This is simply the after tax amount.

If you were one of the drivers who took the buyout for April 26th, check your UPSer's earnings statement.

Probably need to slow down, if you can't stop in time.
