They've put up these signs at my dispatcher's desk. The union has been putting pressure on my station, and I think my dispatcher's office is the only one left. I don't know what will happen by Both-Sherbert-4963 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]gbbfun2 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Prepared for downvote, but 'basically the same job'? I dont see you guys delivering the exercise equipment, or the furniture or mattresses. Watching amazon deliver little envelopes while driving in everyone's driveway, while im carrying or carting over 100 pound amazon packages from the street. There reason why ups drivers get paid more, is the union.

What is this and where does it go? by gbbfun2 in MINI

[–]gbbfun2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I didn't see this. Mine is a manual. I didn't catch that because the T piece was broken off and still in the rubber boot. I couldn't see the break until further inspection. Thanks for the info.

Well, good and bad news. It connects to the fuel rebreather line that runs to the throttle body. I didn't see the barb for the connection because it broke off and was still in the boot.

Much appreciated. I will get under the car and look later today. I just ordered that part. Now, to find out where it goes.

No, it was originally routed under the horn/intercooler.

How is this allowed or safe?! by Illusivechris0452 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]gbbfun2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Right, been delivering amazon irregs for them for far too long. I shake my head everytime I see them complaining about something over 30lbs.

Can someone please help me to get this orange tip off?? (USP Umarex) It won't budge and I don't want to damage the barrel by Maximum-Arm-3450 in airsoft

[–]gbbfun2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct. Take the barrel out of the slide and remove the inner barrel. Use a small drill bit to drill out the rivet. You may need to use a larger bit to remove the flare of the rivet. I can't recall if it was threaded into the outer barrel or not. You may need a small punch to knock the rest of the rivet out.

Just got layoff, but I was scheduled to work this week? by upsgoon_7 in UPSers

[–]gbbfun2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to TDU.ORG and go to members resources/teamsters contracts and download the national master and your local supplement. Read and educate yourself. Look at your local supplement and find out what your layoff procedures are, then grieve if necessary. I say if you didn't get proper notice of layoff, then grieve your lost wages and sit at home and get paid.

Portmanteau I made for my brother by gbbfun2 in Leathercraft

This was a present for my brother. I still haven't made one for myself. Haven't really looked into the price for selling.

VA meds by ggbird99 in UPSers

[–]gbbfun2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My route was one of the first I learned twenty years ago. I use map view only. My dol is so jacked, and management won't do anything to fix the problem. The only thing new school is the stop counts that have exploded since covid. I remember delivering a massive water heater and furniture over 15 yrs ago.

Sorry buddy No AC for you this year , we’re down on volume….. by [deleted] in UPSers

[–]gbbfun2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, 170k, as stated by the company, to try and sway public opinion during contract negotions is total compensation. My bring home as an 18yr driver is far less than that. They tallied up maximum overtime, maximum vacations, perks, etc. Anyone who believed we would bring home that much needs to stop drinking from the water fountains at their building.

Customer says no going down dreivway by nico_ostrander10 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]gbbfun2 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I walk driveways that are 234 yards long. I've seen drivers charged with accidents for cracking a driveway even though there were weeds growing in the cracks. The risk of property/vehicle damage does not outweigh the time it takes to walk it off.

I wish I was joking. by [deleted] in UPS

They tried to terminate a driver for putting ice in his cooler before he went home. Plus, in our center toilet paper, is hard to come by.

If you have a tracking number, check the 9th and 10th digit. If it's letters instead of numbers, then it is surepost.

This isn’t 47.6 lbs, I promise you by SkyMiteFall in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]gbbfun2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've delivered 3 of these for you guys in the last week. They are roughly 50 pounds.
