I must admit I had no clue that UPS was founded in 1907 and has been in business for 107 years.
I worked for UPS for 8 years (5 for UPS Logistics and 3 at the corporate office) and it is a fantastic company where safety is their number one objective. the Circle of Honor is a huge deal. The CEO recognizes those people every year and posters were put up in the corporate office with the names. Riding around in a package car is an experience. Those guys are great at what they do.
I used to work as a seasonal with UPS.
First day on the job, I got sideswiped, while standing still, by a city snowplow.
It depends on the route to determine how much praise he deserves.Going that long without an accident in New York City is far more praiseworthy than doing it in Fork Bend,Utah.
Seems like lately they are under alot of pressure to deliver faster and faster. At some point it has to break.
The 3 right turns to make a left is no joke. If you have ever saw the the CNBC show of Ultimate Factories on UPS, you will learn that all UPS drivers are required to take right turns, to avoid the extra time in waiting for a left turn unless you might have a 4 way stop. After seeing the CNBC show, I now refer to my UPS as Mr. Right Turn.
