You know its funny when I go to another state.
People ask where I live?
As soon as I say Rochester New York,they act like they never hear the city,just the state.
They think ever city,or town in NY state is near,or in New York city.
Its something like working as a UPS employee.
I call a house delivery that I'm not used to driving in.
To ask if theres a dead end,or a way to turn around my big route trailer.
I say I'm a UPS freight driver.
They hear the UPS,and shut out the freight idea.
Now they are thinking small package car.
They wounder why would I be calling to ask if they live on a dead end street when I can just turn into their driveway.
Like the guy that I delivered a 20 foot Sun Setter awning to.
He couldn't believe I came with the big trailer that couldn't get under the utilty lines on his street.
I had to lay my hand cart down and tape everything around it to get it to his house.
I said sir,how do you think UPS would get something 20 foot long on one of their package cars?
He says gee I never thought about that,Iwoundered why you called me?
Accelerator,Teamster 251 says we are not UPS employees.
He and his fellow union posters were getting on me for one of my negative Teamster posts about the bad old union days.
T251 said us freight haulers are in no way connected to UPS other than the brand UPS gave us we are actualy a seperate company working for UPS.
I'm very glad he cleared that up for me.
But I do wounder why I can go on the UPS web site with my time clock employee number and get UPS discounts,as well as all the UPS news?
Maybe UPS is trying to treat us nice so our freight company will do a good job?

I thought they lived in NEW Rochester?
Carl Reiner lived at 48 Bonnie Meadow Road in New Rochelle, New York when the series was created and the Petrie's address on the series was 148 Bonnie Meadow Road, New Rochelle, New York. The actual postal address for Bonnie Meadow Road is Scarsdale, New York 10583.
Leave it up to a package guy to get the right address, your my Hero Mike01
Has anyone heard that P&d drivers won't be aloud to go on the clock until their trailers are ready? soo I guess they wont be able to assist dockworkers and make sure everything is in order...:Bondage:
WOW, I can't believe that. At my terminal we can punch the clock three hours before we start and sit around and eat donuts.
I thought all the terminals was like that. I can't imagine waiting to punch in only after the freight is loaded.
WHAT'S this world coming to.
Our P&D drivers punch in at what ever time they are told to be there weather their load is ready or not.
And thats the way it should be. If managment tells one to come in at a start time, Thats when you should punch in, at exactly your start time regardless if the trailer is ready or not.
That is the way that it is at my terminal. When you are told to start at 0700 you punch in at 0700 reguardless if the freight is ready or not.

So much for one set of rules. One policy book for all and different policy's for different terminals. Allthough there has always been a problem with company rules and the terminals that obide by them.
they make the rules we can hold them to itI was in SLC a couple weeks ago and was there 62 min....I punched the clock and told the dispatcher to put our delay in, he looked and said "you actually want paid for 2 minutes?"....I said "hell yeah, I give this company enough time....I'll take every two minutes I can get".
I guess he thought I was being greedy for wanting two minutes...but I just gave them an hour for free.
Like I have always said. No drivers on the dock. They have dock workers for this. cdl/dockworker program. I have never agreed with this. Dock workers do there job, Load/Unload Drivers do there job, Drive/P&D
