<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 2042275, member: 10103&quot;]I worked at UPS for thirty years.......at UPS it&#039;s production, production, production.&nbsp; Each route was time studied and God help your sorry hinney if you brought the truck in &#039;over plan&#039;......they&#039;d (supervisors) have you tied to a chair the next morning&nbsp; asking you to explain why the route took so long to complete.&nbsp; I started there when you had to &#039;sheet&#039; (physically write down) every package ICC number.&nbsp; I ended my tenure there at the dawn of the DIAD......delivery information access device....which is basically a mini computer where everything was key entered by the driver.&nbsp; Today, everything is preloaded into the DIAD.......every package ICC number in the truck is already loaded into the device.&nbsp; Management feels you should complete your assignment more quickly because of this.&nbsp; That, and the fact that they can track your every movement leaves little wiggle room for a driver to (so called) waste time.&nbsp; These guys are on a strict timetable and management tightens the noose at will.&nbsp; Now I ain&#039;t making excuses for these guys that flag stops, miss send again delivery&#039;s, or miss service.&nbsp; The folks that I took care of were my &#039;family&#039; and I treated them as such.....as they did me.&nbsp; Just sayin&#039; time is money and I came from a different time.&nbsp; You ever try to talk to one of these guys?&nbsp; They&#039;re all nervous Nellie&#039;s and can hardly give you the time of day..........doubt any of them will make thirty years like I did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
