So much for the most important thing UPS cares about SPORH.

[h00ligan997]

i'm filing grievance on that. all helpers must be supervised and with driver at all times. not unsupervised and left alone on remote locations. yet another loophole UPS likes to jump thru and exploit to their advantages rather than paying to put more routes in.  this needs to come to an end.

[Pamzion]

100-150 packages in a truck? no. Try 655 packages and 173 stops. That was last Friday's workload for me. Like to see you try that on a bike.

[soberups97]

It takes a bike helper all day to deliver what a driver in a truck with a helper could do in about 45 minutes.

Im a 23 yr driver, last year I had a bike helper on my route. I pulled a trailer out to the area with the helpers packages in it. At the end of the day I had to backtrack 15 miles in order to retrieve the trailer...it would have added less than 2 miles to deliver them myself.

It looks cute and eco-friendly, but in reality it is a big waste of time and effort.

[carlpaulsen]

Yep, the bitch about us keeping our bulkhead door open, and securing our vehicle. This just shows UPS is not consistent about the rules.

[thebrownguy79]

@carlpaulsen they bitch because UPS drivers must obide by DOT regulations. Bulk head doors being one of their concerns. Driver Helpers on bikes with utility trailers DOT has no control over that.

[IAmOpenMinded]

I think it would be a good idea to use a much larger enclosed trailers that can be locked, and pulled by electric power assisted bikes. That way, the packages would be safer, and protected from the elements, and the rider can perform more deliveries with less tips needed to reload.

[IAmOpenMinded]

@IAmOpenMinded Opps...I meant to say "trips" not "tips" in the last sentence.

[spidey1029]

gimme a break, i would love to do 78 stops a day

[karoslif]

seems kinda dumb.

[grbpe]

Wanna bet Tina has Nice Legs!

[supergople]

How do I apply? I have more miles on a bike than I do driving. Probably have to where a helmet. Ridiculous. It makes me laugh when I see people on bikes stop for lights and signs. That's one of the reasons bikes are better. Same rules as cars? Then why can't I get something at the drive-thru? A girl getting down a bike is very attractive though. Helmet or not.

[Dreadneck]

Somehow I think a street legal handtruck with a little electric would be nearly as fast and a lot more practical. This is coming from a proud Worksman Trike Owner,

[zephaneyvega]

According to US mail regulations, all mail has to be kept in a secure manner! This doesn't seem to be secure to me at all

[vaelin99]

@zephaneyvega except it's not US mail. It's UPS. Private company. US Postal regulations don't apply.

[Pamzion]

@zephaneyvega Package cars must be kept secured in accordance with TSA regulations. UPS vehicles are given access to airport runways with little to no security measures. As such, a UPS vehicle could become a means with which someone could gain access to a plane, therefore the vehicles must be kept secured at all times. I don't think they will use a bike to load/unload a cargo plane.

[JuanPapaNicolao]

this would be great where i live

[karmanaught]

I have lived in Salem for over 10 years now and I have never seen a UPS delivery by bike. I didn't even know they were doing this here. I used to work for FedEX, but if UPS is still doing this, I would be really interested in having this job.

[nietsmmar2]

damn.. she's a super woman^^

[illegalcommercial]

oregon show responsibility!thats good!

[Dano91208]

150 packages in the ups truck aint shit. i work for ups and the heaviest we get going towards the holidays is up to 400 packages in a truck. and its not even christmas yet..

[psychme2]

[koontz67]

UPS bitches about keeping truck secure, (bulk head door and rear door) her packages look like an easy target.

[allthatremains2009]

100-150 by truck? i wish!! i got out with like 200-300 everyday!! it sucks

[InkedParrot]

I saw UPS on bike here in Corvallis, OR back in December. Surprised me to see that, but a good idea!

[HecterPlasmic]

Wow! One less gas guzzler on the roads. Thanks for posting this :)
