I just delivered signage to a sign company who has the contract to put up UPSF signs on some of the terminals in the nor'east. All brown and gold......and more importantly in one piece!!! Also just saw tonight new advertisement brochures for UPSF. Trucks and trailers are what the rebranding have been coming out with. I don't think with all the advertisement and the paint scheme investments they would be changing stream. Besides "what could brown do for you" would be out the door completely. Until I see a truck roll in, green, pink, black whatever its a rumor.

After what I did today I hope I have a different color truck tommorow.
I guess they would be saving a lot of money by just sraying on one color.
That way they wouldn't have to use tape.
They could just spray away,and use some turpintime to clean off the windows,airlines,and light cord.
Also just being one company does this mean we will be brought up to the feeder drivers pay rate?
One other issue while I'm at it.
Its no more if we are going to become Teamster members,but when.
The only thing negative in becoming one company is those that have many years of senority in the parcel with CDL's jumping over to freight,and little senority workers getting stuck with the vacant parcel jobs.
Now to me that would be one great big pain in the backside,to go from delivering between 10 and 15 stops to having to do over 100 deliveries and pickups.

Maybe they are for next years St. Patty's Day parade? Lord knows, they were probably for this years, but they couldn't find any headlights to replace the ones that are blown!!!
I can see it now......."The Lean Mean Green Machine!!" or should I say "We're Not Sure What We're Doing Line!!" Yup shoot from the hips trucking.

Yup, you will go in the city with one pup full of freight and one pup full of packages.

Apo. Just to ease your mind. You will NEVER see the two company's merge together. And you will NEVER see employees jumping over with seniority. Freight will stay Freight and Parcel will stay Parcel.:smilie_132:

When I was in HRS last night I saw six brand new package trucks painted the UPSF colors.
I couldn't find them last night. They must have been out emptying dumpters. We will be merging with Waste Managment, new company to be called, From The Waste-UP

Wish that was the case here in the Washington District 251!
The 2000 Mack I'm in right now has 1.3 million miles on it and they said the engine will be rebuilt and the tractor will go back on the road!
This intergration has sure turned into a management play-thing......& great learning tool to boot,tax deductible, I`m sure.. An exercise in Power .....Soon we`ll get down to business; let the boys play a while ,after all it does`nt happen but, Oh, every 100 years or so...Enjoy guys , us loyal employees will be here when you`re finished showing us that work can be fun too.....
OK, the rebranding stopage is true. From what I've been told....it's to add to the bottom line of the first quarter. In other words, don't spend anything because the share holders will get nervous. You can't even buy anything at Staples. It's the same "O" same "O". It's so bad up here, I have a bucket under my truck to catch the dripping oil and put it back in the engine!!! That's yankee inginuity!!
I was told that upsf trucks and the little brown trucks will be integrated when this is all down,and we will be able to send and get messages from the little brown trucks.

I don't think the rebranding has stopped everywhere. My Volvo is in the shop now being redone. I hope to have it back in about a week, this freightliner I'm driving is a piece of junk.

Doing qa mini-hub and running around on a forklift trying to dodge conveyor belts and the box throwers will make it hard on a road driver....If it don't have an airhorn I don't know how to comunicate in traffic....And will we be able to send dirty pictures to each other or will that bo a no no???? Things we need to think about you know!!!!!
And as far as the re-branding...SLC just got one back and I'll ask to see if they are sending anymore.....I would see if mine could be done but I want the latest paint scheme...Maybe I can be like Dale!!!! And ride the provisonals. OOPS did I say that....
