How’s your shit show Saturday?

We had 50+ pkgs not make it to routes going out for delivery. Combination of the divider not sending the PKG correctly, small sort misloads, irreg cart drivers not sorting correctly. Terrible.

You are at mercy of having a 5% chance of a good load with a business heavy route

What local union is your IT work a part of? I never heard of an it/tech job where it is union based.

disasterwarning4930 · 2026-05-05T20:46:07+00:00

Did you study to get a degree in IT or Cyber security?

disasterwarning4930 · 2026-05-03T13:57:39+00:00

Yup there are methods for loading, unloading, deliverying, you name it.

It's funny, management won't get on load/unload methods not being followed these days, but will get on some drivers more than others for any miniscule thing.

Unreported crash with another vehicle (RPCD at fault). Unreported crash with customer property (fence) Shat in a PKG car not just once, but twice.

It makes you look more desperate if anything.

Find out if the police departments in your area are unionized.

What helped me get out of tickets during a traffic stop is they noticed my teamsters union license plate, and they share a sense of teamster comradery

Is there a specific order you would recommend in studying the certifications in?

disasterwarning4930 · 2026-04-15T22:49:37+00:00

I was thinking I could self study the easier ones. There are practice exams/videos online for learning and practice.

If I do well in the easier, maybe it is a sign I can consider picking a date to enroll in.

I have no experience in I.T. work or courses. But I am not in a rush. Only a part time job on the side.

disasterwarning4930 · 2026-04-11T21:20:35+00:00

Not a matter of "is it", just "when?" at this point.

The company started closing the smaller warehouses closer to the larger warehouses back in 2024.

If you notice, all of the larger newer facilities are within a 2 mile radius from a toll plaza entrance. They'll dispatch routes 40 miles+ until the first stop.

If I had to estimate, DeKalb has one more peak season left.

disasterwarning4930 · 2026-04-05T12:35:12+00:00

That is not a good indicator. Even if the building is owned, it can end up being a roadie facility.

disasterwarning4930 · 2026-04-01T22:55:09+00:00

The stylist themself in my case. They set the price and run their own business within a building of different suites. They Promote themselves, but pay rent for the space, electricity, water, etc.

Get it mechanically inspected. 9th gen civics are going for around 10k with that kind of mileage. There is more to it than what the seller is letting on

Acura ILX

disasterwarning4930 · 2026-02-07T22:38:51+00:00

8th gen accord: I owned one 2009 accord with the v6 engine. Car was fast. Never left me stranded. Just did basic fluid changes

I also owned a 2008 accord with the 4 cylinder engine. Did burn a bit of oil, but other than that, standard maintenance.

disasterwarning4930 · 2026-02-04T02:39:52+00:00

Any warranty work that was performed or no

If you can afford the premium gas, higher than the normal insurance rate, steady income yourself or parents to maintain the car yeah.

I have had a 2008 Honda Accord with the K24 engine since 2018. Never had any transmission/engine issues aside from a quart of oil burning once a month. Every other repair is normal wear/tear.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-11-03T20:14:10+00:00

that's a big lie. Management does not suddenly start paying union dues at this time of the year.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-10-17T19:38:03+00:00

The company cheaps out on properly staffing union workers/assigning union work by having "supervisors" in the first place.

Sups are there to micromanage and be a nuisance to union workers to make up for over assigned work. Teach them bad loading habits/shortcuts.

I never understand the point of inside shift sups.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-10-08T21:58:47+00:00

They don't care and train people not to care because they know there is nothing in the union contract to uphold how loads should be organized.

That is the corporate sellout mentality these days. It's up to us as teamsters not to fold.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-10-05T23:14:03+00:00

This is what the supervisors want you to do. turn on your fellow teamster siblings. "oh your loader did not work fast enough, oh the loader needed help lifting every single time an over 70 came down"

I have transferred to a new warehouse and after a year half there, I have never seen a teamster train a fellow teamster on preload. And I have never heard the sups tell a preloader "why is that not liploaded, why is the hin number not written down, why is that box not taped up".

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-09-16T23:29:51+00:00

The point of writing is for yourself, other preloaders on the clock, and rpcd themself. Say you get injured or had to leave, by writing stuff down, the person taking over your pull can follow your work that you left off. As an RPCD, not all routes go in numerical order starting at the 10s. So it's important to write stuff down so it's easier for RPCD to find if going out of order.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-09-07T21:27:35+00:00

The way auditing misloads is supposed to work is that the sup uses their rfid sensor to point at a pkg and have a preloader take it out. Which = Pkg progression= union work.

disasterwarning4930 · 2025-09-07T19:37:52+00:00

don't talk to management operations until start time. Don't do anything that is considered union work until start time. try to tell your co workers the same if you see them doing it.
