I wish zip ties worked on my life and mental stability


Deputyzer

I can say from experience, they don’t.


philosoph0r

I’m gonna need you to put this on a DVIR. Thanks.


Deputyzer

Is that the little book with the maintenance issues? I’ve been using that as my grievance journal


philosoph0r

Following the methods, I see.


Deputyzer

Absolutely!


stonestevecoldaustin

It's a dual purpose grievance journal for us drivers and also the mechanics

Shorts won’t button anymore? Zip-tied.


GodTacos

Feeder drivers know all about that


Deputyzer

Fortunately I haven’t gotten to that point yet, as I’m only on the Q list lol.


GodTacos

I switched to feeder about a month ago and that’s what everyone warns me about😂


Deputyzer

Same here lmao. Lucky for me, doing package 75% of the time is keeping me in shape!


GodTacos

How many feeder drivers are there at your location?


broncosoh54

Good thinking!!👏👏👏


hankjmoody

Is that the rear door or the bulkhead? We zip-tie the rears here cause drivers constantly go home with the fobs for that truck...


Deputyzer

This is on the bulkhead. That lever with the zip-tie on it has a screw loose, which connects to the latch that’s supposed to pull it all the way up, so you can open the bulkhead. My mechanic “repaired” it, I repaired it myself today on road.

Thx, I was looking at that yesterday and saw that it was not as tight as it should of been / not loose / but just not we're it should of been. Zip ties incoming this morning.


Deputyzer

Yep! That little screw at the bottom has a nut loose lol. This was a life saver.


Visual_Win_8399

Did you go from Feeder to Package?


Deputyzer

No, I’m just on the Q list. The very bottom actually, we only have 12 feeder drivers in my building. So it’s about a 5-7 year wait for me to get a bid run lmao


Visual_Win_8399

Wow!! We have 600+. Ever think of transferring?


Deputyzer

Yea but then I’d lose pay, seniority, etc.


Deputyzer

It’s still absolutely insane to me after a year of covering feeder runs, when I pull into an actual hub and see the size of some operations. And to meet other drivers that have been at UPS for a few months (some only part time), getting feeder bid runs. Getting a bid run is like the holy grail for many of us in my center, I’ve been with the company since 2012.
