What the inside of a mail truck looks like
About 50 stops down roughly 300 to go...
You don't encounter many jerks in package delivery. It can be stressful at times but it's actually a very cush job most of the time.
I can count on one hand all the weirdos, assholes, and crazies I've encountered throughout my career. This level of thoughtfulness has made my day. Thank you random stranger for your random act of awesome!
Edit: first time on front page since the send nudes thing started. So get on that shit ladies!
AkagisWhiteComet
The loader didn't do a very good job, unless it's one of those loads with 430+ pieces.
VigorousButtstuff
He wants you to send nudes. Go on ahead, boys, he clearly knows how to handle packages! :D

Poor DHL

Worked in the hub for 5 years, drove for 1. My knees are worth more.
ProbablynotaBear
I unload for FDX Ground and my knees and back are constantly sore

Go Grove family.

This is an amazing idea. I will be doing this when I have a house.
ICampOntheFirstDate
Why wait? Randomly set one up in front of someone else's house.

I’m not a lady but I’m sending nudes for the cause! Merry Christmas

I just got a job in this field. It helps to have big hands. Makes me reconsider ordering things online and my mailbox.
Cosmogonic
that truck load is a MESS. no wonder why they come all banged up... if i catch the asshats who did the loading job...
kkanne20
i was a driver helper one time during the holidays. froze my ass off with the damn door open all day! thanks for doing it year-round!
2and900
I as well, gets so cold my nips start to bleed
5timespeed
350, is kinda light”,, “ for peak “ huh “ Orion “ says your holding back, dispatch can assist, with the IE. Team.

Sounds like a meet point is coming! Lol

I have mad love for our deivers. In fact, they are only reason I shovel my driveway, make their life easier.
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
I’ve worked the night shift at UPS during the holiday season for a couple years now. Hard work but it pays pretty damn good while it last
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
Also lots of respect for the drivers. They tend to come in early and help us out. They also drive until 8-9pm. Crazy working those hours
SleepIsDeathPractice
I recently worked my first pre loading shift. That stuff is nuts, brought a whole new level of respect for the full time employees
WhatYouMeanItAintReal
Oh yeah once it hits between Christmas and New Years it’s a mad house. I’ll normally clock 12-14 hours a day in that stretch
SleepIsDeathPractice
I'm excited to be part of the team, I'm just a truck helper but I'm enjoying it so far. I hope they keep me on full time
sneakysnake
Loaded these trucks a few years back. Don't forget about the pre-loaders, as they put everything so that it comes out in the right order
2and900
My driver has to reorganize the truck every day, although, I think hes crazy.
MariahEAM
This is adorable. And yes, THANK YOU for delivering packages during the holidays (:
DieselBrother
Leaving out treats for drivers is a great idea, I should do that myself.
BurningVeryImportantThings
so much this! I'm pretty sure relations for a big mac qualifies as no homo. unless you are a female in which case it may end up in court :)
BurningVeryImportantThings
aka: I want a big mac and or a whopper.
BurningVeryImportantThings
although I'd settle for curly fry from Arby's.
DieselBrother
Love those little curly bastards
dave481
As a carrier little things like this can make our day. Last Christmas Eve I had a lady meet me with fresh fried pies.
OddOod
@OP bruh, yall are the lifeblood of the economy. I constantly have to remind myself not to gush when thanking you.
BurningVeryImportantThings
it's not easy but it's not hard. I thank you for your appreciation and support. It means a lot more than you know. Godspeed my fellow human!
OddOod
TIL there is not a single fucking gif of Gen. George Hammond saying "Good luck, and godspeed" on the entire internet. WTFuck
romicra88
They're giving out Snyders? Nice. Keep up being amazing, dude
TheAdventuresofStealy
Those honey mustard and onion pretzels are the shit, that person doesn't skimp. Hands will get really dirty though.
DieselBrother
All those broken-up ones with the powder are tits. Plus Hershey chocolate too, where in PA are you, @OP?
Felderburg
Username, uh.... is a bit worrisome, in this case.
Onlyrepostsmakethefrontpage
That truck isn't full enough I can see the hand truck and the floor.
DieselBrother
I remember many mornings of opening up the bulkhead door and seeing a wall of cardboard.
Onlyrepostsmakethefrontpage
You literally can't see where any of the boxes go. No more sorting the truck.
DJWienerSoup
I've never met a bad UPS driver, but when I ran a home business, I never once had a UPS shipment go right.
jeruseq
Just Unlucky, warehouse manager here for 5 years, UPS is by far our most reliable option. Maybe 1-2 screw ups a month. 1/2
DJWienerSoup
Yeah I think the local place in Chicago just had a shit manager. All my packages through them were either delayed by weeks, lost, or arrived
DJWienerSoup
torn and damaged. And I never used Fedex, they're way too slow and expensive.
jeruseq
Fedex though, with their contracted drivers we'd get shitty service all the time, and they have stupid protocols like delivering one 2/3
jeruseq
early delivery package in the morning then coming back 2 hours later to deliver the standard delivery package, just dumb. 3/3
tupacshomie
Hello fellow UPSer and Orion hater.
ConservationOfAss
Can confirm there is nowhere near 300 stops in that truck. Source: I work for UPS. Whhyyy lie
AkagisWhiteComet
Right plus there is way more room in there, they didn't have to load up the middle yet.
PoetDesmond
My workplace always keeps bottled water on hand for delivery guys in summer, and hot cocoa and cider ready to quickly fix in winter.
DieselBrother
A lot of local hospitals have beverages and snacks for us EMS guys after we drop off patients. It's a big morale booster.
Glephnir
I work at UPS as a preloader. I have to get up at 12:30 every morning and load until 9 since December started. STOP SHIPPING THINGS!!!
nero4ty2
I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon, sorry for your back
AkagisWhiteComet
We start at 2:00am, how big is your hub?
Glephnir
Pretty big. Its the Charlotte, NC Hub. 5 belts and mine has around 25-30ish trucks, three trucks per person.
CompressedInfo
As New Yorker I can say that people who wish me a "blessed" anything get so far on my nerves it's unbearable. Just let me get on with my day
CompressedInfo
The snax? Nice touch. Don't cutesy it up with blessings
automaticallymoderated
You COULD just say “thanks” and appreciate the positive sentiment. It’s more fun to be cranky-pants though.
CompressedInfo
Of course it's more fun to complain. We live in New York City. That's all we get!
koflan
Well you certainly can't get on with your day after they wish you well! Bastards.
CompressedInfo
It's just such an intrusion
koflan
Would it be better for you if they all said "fuck off", or do you need to just not be spoken to?
CompressedInfo
Either would be good, honestly. Or just. "Have some candy."

Yesterday, my package left the FedEx location in Pennsylvania, and today it said it was in New Jersey. I live in California.
nero4ty2
The fastest and cheapest way to go cross country isn’t always the most direct
ProbablynotaBear
It was most likely sent to hub to be transferred with other westward bound deliveries.
jeruseq
New Jersey must be the closest east coast hub that sends out cross country packages. Like UPS if you order next day it'll go to Kentucky1/2
jeruseq
Then it'll go on a plane from there to the nearest air hub, then truck to the nearest delivery hub. 2/2
Ihadtoditchmyotherusernamebecauseofyou
I've worked in retail and service for over 20 years, getting deliveries daily. I have met a good 30 UPS drivers and they were all great!
CrimeBrulee
I've always loved my UPS drivers
BurningVeryImportantThings
exactly how much? ;)... goddamn I'm lonely...
Donttouchthatwithoutgloves
FedEx Ground on the other had seems to hire everyone that couldn't make the cut elsewhere.... least in my area.
BurningVeryImportantThings
damn skippy it's cuz we love love our jobs and the people we deliver to.
BurningVeryImportantThings
I'm not gonna lie. We are pretty fucking awesome!
rbudrick
Congrats on the sex.
reallynotmikepence
Except Dan.
aselleus
Dan was NOT, I repeat, NOT the man
CultofCedar
UPS and my normal mail carrier are great and my family always gives them cards. USPS lost 3 packages in the past week though.
BurningVeryImportantThings
always remember it is not the drivers fault. the misplacement of a package could mean several things. its on another truck, 1/2
BurningVeryImportantThings
it didn't make the deadline to be loaded on that trucks route 2/3
BurningVeryImportantThings
and/or you are a cunt and we know it so we burned it at the warehouse utilizing the furnace.
BurningVeryImportantThings
No be seriously if it doesn't arrive when it says it's going to it is a computer error and very rarely a human error.
CultofCedar
No the driver does a shit job. Throws all the packages in the lobby of a 500 apt building /a/kzbUN that times 3 basically1/
CultofCedar
Today this dude delivered me two boxes of medical supplies which I brought to some old lady that could barely walk and had a care taker 2/
CultofCedar
So at this point the guy needs to be fired. Address wasn’t even close
GuW69
I would do this, if the jerks actually delivered nything to me, instead, they just stop by my mailbox with a note that I wasn't home
DieselBrother
If you're buying stuff from Amazon, have it delivered to a local locker. You'll get a text and pick it up when you're available.
nero4ty2
Set up a ups account and change your preferences to have them leave it, or change with the shipper
GuW69
It doesn't worj with the postal service where I live, and we dont get UPS
nero4ty2
Well that sucks, I’d miss out on a good chunk of my household needs if I didn’t get UPS deliveries
Deikin
This gets my UPs vote
BurningVeryImportantThings
You sir and or madam are someone I want to date simply for your comment. are you of the female persuasion?
Deikin
Afraid not. But if you promise to 'deliver the goods' I might be persuaded regardless.
ThoughtThisWasAmerica
BurningVeryImportantThings
nice!
ILogInToUpvote
Careful with that discrimination, the FedEx guy's gonna get salty
fleXbad
That's why he's an Ex
BurningVeryImportantThings
Fuck that cunt! I stuck it out for 8 years through dental school to be dumped for a polish guy with no degree and a shit job. Fukcing polls!
BurningVeryImportantThings
I welcome the dual. Our trucks are much larger and FedEx is full of a bunch of FedPussies as far as I'm concerned...
misleadingtitles
I’m parcel about it
Deikin
I assume this is a 'partial' pun? +1 for trying. I've done worse.
BurningVeryImportantThings
oh haven't we all. I am more partial to parcel jokes that contain dildos and pocket pussies. It's shocking how often they don't brown bag it
misleadingtitles
I tried ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
BurningVeryImportantThings
I'm in no position to judge. This happen to me 18 years old. My super freak ex ordered toys for us and sent them to my moms place (1/2)
BurningVeryImportantThings
She was hysterical with laughter after I explained the situation. The girlfriend and shortly after my ex was mortified, I was delighted ;)
L4dead2
What about UsPs vote
BurningVeryImportantThings
I prefer instant validation. USPS takes 3-7 days priority. Fuck that ! The name of the game for our generation is instant gratification.
L4dead2
True. I've received packages that said it was suppose to be delivered days before. Depends if it gets to the station
BurningVeryImportantThings
If it's peak season. realize ups handles all major delivery services including ebay, 1/2
BurningVeryImportantThings
amazon, personal, and I'm sure many more. I've only just started working for them.2/2
ThatNameWasTaken
It's a FedEx truck though...
BurningVeryImportantThings
No, no it is not!
TKRBrownstone
No it's not. I can clearly see "UPS Ground" on one of the shipping labels.
Deikin
Also the label clearly says "UPS" in #2 and #3
BurningVeryImportantThings
Thank you for backing me up
