It will be very interesting Ira 90s I invented a shipping holder for the
dyad which is the device they write down all the data on it's a computer
with laser capability because of my experience in photography and
musical equipment I could see that they didn't have any protection for
the device so they flew in two of their head engineers of time
management and operations and they gave me a small contract for 40 of
the bags to test market the protective device who is basically a
Bandelero to hold the large DIAD
I have some German seamstresses from the bowling bag company make my
prototypes and I was amazed United parcel service would even give me the
gig but the man who is in charge of the program said he seen Stranger
Things USA military professional and I was very impressed he would give
me the opportunity after testing down and paying me upper management
decided to downsize the device to wear on a belt buckle so I didn't get
the gig and I was just delighted that I got the opportunity to work from
$12 billion company funny thing most people don't know UPS was started
with $100 in a bicycle by a man in Seattle Washington who ended up never
getting married
I heard that recently they had a negotiation is the drivers wanted air
conditioners in the new trucks and that they were planning on installing
fans for the current trucks those big trucks are are hard for them cause
they're in and out so often when the people visited me they told me for
every minute lost it cost them $1 million cost FedEx and UPS and other
carriers are very into time management at one time I knew all my drivers
personally and I've seen some of them in my lifetime retire because I've
been doing this so long I used to have personal Account managers that
would take care of me and give me lower rates but when the shipping
industry really really cranked up the little vendors like myself got
overlooked because they rather sell container loads yjem a daily pickup
of 10-300 parcels
My bigger clients like Disney and Universal , Musicland would pre
arrange semi Trucks andthey would pick up from us...as they would get
deep discounds
It seems like its all changing so much many ofthe truck firms were sold
or merged with other or were out of business..

anddid you know the USpostoffice Jobss out toairlines the mail???

Thousands of Teamster UPS drivers across the United States are
expected to authorize a strike Friday, bringing the country a step
closer to what would be among the largest work stoppages in decades.
An authorization vote does not does not mean that a strike will
happen, but it gives Teamsters union leaders the right to call for a
national walkout if a contract deal is not reached in negotiations
before July 31. It would be the first strike to threaten the
nation’s transportation infrastructure system since the last time
UPS employees went on strike 26 years ago and the largest of any
industry since the 1950s.
