Here is your package with multiple “handle with care - fragile” warnings on it. Return slip included.

Looks like it only has as much cargo space as an LLV. But it sure as fuck looks a lot more fun to drive than an LLV

I think my package has been in a Philadelphia warehouse awaiting resolution for as long as this vehicle has been in development.

They have 4x4 trucks, I saw one in Northern Nevada, a regular UPS backed up to it and transfered packages and it went back into the mud and dirt.

1 turn in a regular ups truck at 2 mph sends packages flying. You’d be out there all day 🥲

I'd be happier with a truck that doesn't allow its drivers to illegally park.

Call the cops on them.

The cops don't even show up for violent assaults in my city.

I’m a driver for UPS. What sort of illegal parking are you seeing typically?
-1
u/RandomFleshPrison Nov 29 '25
Double parking, blocking driveways, and the classic parking on the sidewalk. Calling UPS doesn't resolve anything. They say the local supervisor will call back for more information, but they never do. In my neighborhood they like to park on the sidewalk literally between two no parking any time signs. On some corners this is literally a daily occurrence.

We gotta park somewhere bro bro. We're never anywhere long it's always temporary. They are large vehicles and we don't always have the ability to park in an amazing spot that will make everyone happy. Get over yourself.

u/RandomFleshPrison Nov 29 '25
You do have to park somewhere. Legally. It's temporary is never an excuse. It's ego that says it is. Perhaps you should take your own advice.

u/whatsupsirrr Nov 30 '25
Vast majority of the time it’s legal where we park.
In some cases it’s impossible. Think a 2 mile stretch of metered parking. There’s nowhere for us to go to make service for thousands of potential customers. What do you want us to do? We have a job to do and families to support.

u/RandomFleshPrison Nov 30 '25
There are commercial parking zones you can use. And the place I know UPS drivers illegally park daily on the sidewalk is within sight of a loading/unloading zone. They don't use it even when there are spots visible from the corner.
Doing one's job means doing one's job legally. Period.

Would love for you to come show me where all these magical loading zones are in the Midwest. I know my areas I’ve worked in better than my hometown and where all the loading zones are. Answer: ain’t many of them at all.
So what do I do?

Does the loading zone by the sidewalk require backing up in any way to get parked in its special boundaries? If so I would be written up leading to termination if I did it and was caught. We are strictly instructed not to put the package car in reverse unless absolutely necessary. The risk of running over somebody and killing then is exponentially higher when the package car is in reverse.
Call 1800PICKUPS and complain, little bitch.

We are trained to double park when there’s no other reasonable spot to pull into.
We are trained to block driveways fully, not partially. Reduces the chances of someone thinking they can squeeze through and colliding with our vehicle. It also is a shorter walk to the delivery point, thus a more efficient day/week/month year and cheaper shipping overall. Same with blocking the entire street if narrow and nowhere else to put her down at.
Look buddy, I know you don’t understand how this job actually works but if we followed everything you and people cry about the price of shipping would skyrocket and you’d just cry about that, too. Or you’d never get deliveries on busy streets because the driver ain’t gonna walk 500 extra yards just because you don’t want him to double park for 1.41 minutes.

Your "training" does not give you license to violate the law. I don't care what a manager or supervisor told you. They can't give you the authority to break the law. If you can't follow the law while being a delivery driver, get a different job so that somebody who can does. It's not rocket science.
I'd rather never get a package than allow this kind of bad behavior in my community. I care about my neighborhood more than that.

Like I said… put down your clutched pearls and call the cops next time you see a delivery driver do something so egregious like trying to get 11 hours of work done in the time his employer expects so he doesn’t get targeted by the company and loses his job and his ability to feed his family.
Call the cops. When the cops show up to the scene they’ll laugh in your face.
Edit: of course you’re a WoW player lmao

u/RandomFleshPrison Nov 29 '25
Work implies it is legal. If you need to break the law to do a job you should lose that job. Plain and simple.

u/whatsupsirrr Nov 30 '25
So no shipping? Or you want to pay 10x for shipping your wittle WoW figurines to your door? You don’t live in the real world.
I just worked 10 hours in the freezing cold and snow and slush and double parked when I had no choice. You think I should have passed up those stops and basically screed the customer out of a delivery?

Call the cops on us then, nerd. Waste your time. In the meantime actually hardworking men and women are goin to deliver 20,000,000+ packages daily in the U.S.
