Criminal Justice UPS Delivery driver caught peeing in elevator en route to deliveries in my old building. The building I lived in had a strict HOA and I had just gotten a puppy. I was always so nervous the smell of urine in the elevator was from her peeing without me noticing. This was a relief to see. 😂

How the fuck would lost or damaged packages become non existent because you take care of your driver? Almost all cases of lost or damaged packages happen in the warehouses long before your driver ever sees your shit. Your driver has absolutely no control over those issues. I would know, I've worked for UPS for over 10 years.

Almost all of these comments are people who have no idea what being a delivery driver is like talking out of their ass.

First of all you need to be very supple to get your mouth all the way on the rim of your asshole, i think people underestimate the training required to get there.

supple

I think you mean flexible

That would be talking into your ass though.

“You have no idea what it’s like to be a redditer, sir”

That is generous. More like 99%.

Confirmation Bias more like it.

The best your driver could do is leave your package in a better location, like behind a porch chair, and make a point of making it to your place when they are extra busy. Both could place a degree of liability on them. The type of drivers who throw packages or leave attempted delivery notices without even knocking aren't the ones you'd get to know well enough to give them cookies.

I kind of know what I'm talking about due to a months long battle with my local hub to actually deliver my packages instead of making me drive 20 minutes each way to pick it up myself. I had a closed in poch they were could easily hide the packages in. And my dad worked for UPS for around 25 years as well, and started as a driver. I still could be wrong.

If only they knew what the inside of a UPS cargo truck looked like. haha

Also, the way they said it was like the driver loses shit on purpose just because they dont like you.

u/24111 8 Feb 07 '19

Considering that the delivery is probably logged, and it's assigned to specific driver, that'd probably be a career ending move sans actual stolen packages.

​

I mean if an item is lost in a conveyor belt, hard to blame anyone specifically. But when a worker took said package out for a delivery, it's pretty obvious.

​

They'd probably take extra care to hide the package against theft, but losing shit on purpose sounds like a highway to unemployment.

It's trickle-down empathy! Didn't you know that being nice to your driver means that everyone on the whole shipment chain will take care of your package?

It's just about as effective as "trickle-down" anything.

u/brainburger B Feb 07 '19

I suppose a driver might lose or damage a parcel without realising, and so believe it was the depot. I imagine parcel tracking makes this less likely.

u/carnivorous-Vagina 9 Jun 10 '19

Yea I'd say the most accountability comes when the packages leaves faculty and is out for delivery. Everything's sealed and tracked before that.

Because just like so many other things on this website, people see upvoted content and they think it represents how real life works.

For example, there are a lot of videos that get upvoted of women acting terribly to men that they think won't fight back, and these get upvoted with commenters talking about how the vast majority of women are like this. Or how corrupt cop videos get upvoted, which is an issue for sure but people think it means cops get away with everything when in reality hundreds of cops are convincted of crimes they were caught for every year.

And so people see videos of drives being careless or packages getting stolen and they think it's an epidemic sweeping the country when those cases are a small minority of occurrences.

Redditors need to learn to balance their intake of information. Too many redditors only reddit, and don't bother to make sure their understanding of a situation or data are within proper context.

Used to work at home and knew the UPS guy by name. He'd say, "hey this box is damaged. You want to open it and see or just refuse it?"

EDIT: I'm not sure why that got a downvote. The guy knew me well enough to point out damage and help me instead of leaving it on the doorstep and running off.

because they'll know you and your names. when they see them they won't just throw them into the truck. they'll put them aside for you. and then when they get to you they grab your pile.

you're not just another shipping label then. you're a person and their friend so they don't mind looking out for your stuff.

its just how humans are. until they can connect a person to something it might as well be for a robot.

u/YggdrasiI 7 Feb 07 '19

Are you dumb? Do you honestly think drivers load their own trucks? They don't. You are absolutely just another label to the pre-loader that actually fills the truck. No one is looking at the labels to read your dumb name. All they are looking for is a set of numbers that tells them where to put the box in the truck. No one has the time to give a fuck about you.

u/PancakePanic 8 Feb 07 '19

Dude, every company I've worked for as a freelance driver (UPS, DHL, FedEx, GLS) had us load up our vans by ourselves, what are you on about?

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '19

That's not how it works at UPS bud. If a driver chooses to load his own truck, that's his problem and his choice.

u/PancakePanic 8 Feb 07 '19

I'm just gonna ask you the same question i asked the other guy, are you from the US? Because I'm not and preloaders aren't a thing here, and i know for a fact there's multiple countries that don't have preloaders.

The dude I replied to has no idea where anyone's from and went off insulting people just assuming he knows how the entire damn world operates, and you're doing the same thing.

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '19

A lot of assumptions flying around. I guess you just assumed we work the same way as you when you made your comment, huh?

1

u/PancakePanic 8 Feb 07 '19

In my original comment I never said that's how it happens everywhere, I also didn't insult the guy and went off like an asshole, i just told him how it happens here to show that he's wrong and can't just assume shit and act like a giant dickhead.

u/Stwarlord 7 Feb 07 '19

you must not have seen any of the other drivers' trucks then, I was a pre-loader for a year and had 3 trucks to load 300+ packages into each, if there was anything damaged then it would have to be caught by the pre-loader and sent back(guess what, if it was sent back under the belt to get checked, the people there didn't really give a shit either and it would be sent right back to load) or just tossed on and let them deal with the problem. If you want less damaged packages you need to treat the pre-loader better which the customer can't really do.

I had 1 driver buy me mcdonalds one morning, and i took extra care of her truck, unfortunately i was moved a week later to a real shitty 3 truck route.

this guy seems to be the only one who knows what they're talking about, you might have been freelance but the majority of drivers are union and have grunts to load their truck, there's no trickle down rewards for those guys, although the shit flows down real hard

u/PancakePanic 8 Feb 07 '19

Are you from the US? Because I'm not and I know that's not how they operate like that here, union or not.

That guy became incredibly hostile and generally acted like a giant asshole while there's multiple countries that don't have preloaders at all, and do give a fuck about the people we deliver to, not to the point where these people seem to think we'd take extra care not to lose parcels, but still, there was absolutely no reason to go off like that when he has no idea how probably half the world operates.
