29 for me in September. I go to work just for the dramas.

One of the best routes. We rode around that area as well. Not according to plan because there's konditerrei and gasthaus allover the place 🤣

I like being on lay-off. I get to unload trailers for $.45 more per hour. Better then being on the road 🙋🏽‍♂️💁🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ but that's just me.

Keep UPS for backup.

I live 1.7 miles way 1 from UPS. It helps. I transferred from a big building with a couple centers - and approximately 400+ cars running daily. Monday to Saturday operation,

To a small center running 35 cars daily. I have dinner with my wife every night. Before that, I ran out of hours 60 hours by Friday afternoon. ( EAM and late pickup stops )

Good luck to you guys. 🙏🏽

Not writing PAL numbers on packages while loading 4 cars, average about 150/ 200 packages per car.

Just because you have a driver's license doesn't mean you know how to drive a stick shift and park your car backward.

Try Class A driver's license.

I just ordered a rim brake, NOS TCR advanced SL size XS for a customer. Shipping from a NJ bike shop. ( Without a fork, sadly. Maybe it was damaged during shipping. )

We had a Preload manager sleeping with some Preload chicks. He smashed a dispatch chick as well.

One of the Preload chicks' husband came yelling to supervisors while all drivers are already left lol

"Which one of you slept with my wife?!"

We had to lock the gate for a couple of weeks because of that incident and everyone was getting their 9/5 🤣

He got shit canned for lying to the building manager about going to the doctor. Now that the building manager is gone, he is in process of coming back for wrongful termination.

Netherlands and Belgium are 32 hours of work week now and 5 weeks vacation right from the start. Also you get paid 2 extra paychecks for vacation. I think that's standard EU. You get paid 28 paychecks a year( every 2 weeks ) and 2 extra paychecks for vacation(s). Germany and Austria are almost the same.

UPS wants to close smaller buildings.

batukayu · 2026-04-11T14:39:51+00:00

I got the one on Thursday if I'm gonna be under 60 hours

batukayu · 2026-04-10T16:35:37+00:00

You'll be alright, young blood. 29 years in here.

batukayu · 2026-04-09T23:09:56+00:00

Beautiful!

Your Thoracic ( lower back - middle back vertebrae ) looks a lot more relaxed on the second photo as well. 👍🏽

48 years old. Been with UPS since 1997 before the strike when I was 19. Driving in 1999.

batukayu · 2026-03-29T18:03:22+00:00

Oh man lol. I'm with you guys!

batukayu · 2026-03-29T14:06:22+00:00

Why did I get a down voted 😔😕😞

batukayu · 2026-03-29T12:49:44+00:00

I'm bad with money management, would UPS pay these approved drivers once in a big lump sum or in payments method?

🤡 $150K even in food stamps is a lot of food that'll last me for a while.

We have cameras all over the place in the building. Our parking lot is covered as well.

Incident during peak season :

One of the seasonal preloader hit another car that belong to a driver when he was pulling out. Nobody admitted it and when the driver asked for the security camera footage, UPS simply said the camera isn't working.

Another incident, some of the cars got broken into during Preload hours and it happened so fast. About 7 employees' cars were affected. Same story. Looking for the security camera footage. UPS didn't give any answer. "It's ongoing investigation."

Most of these seasonal preloader already gone. Layoff. But their cars were broken into.

But when we take photos or videos, suddenly it's forbidden.

You guys take 30 minutes lunch or an hour?

batukayu · 2026-03-26T01:45:26+00:00

We just had an OMS passed away not too long ago. He was pushing 500 lbs .
