SDN...The Upside Down World of UPS

By: David F. Roy

Narrated by: Brad Smith

I have a sick, nauseous feeling in my stomach as I pull into the parking lot. The drive seems to take much longer than it should. I cranked the punk rock CD in my car to distract me. Finally, I'm in view of familiar faces, which seem to calm my nerves as I get out of my car. I'm greeted by a couple of other drivers. They seem a little bewildered and in shock. We all walk in silence with our heads down towards the door to get in. Once we get close, we can see that there is a line waiting to get in. We wait patiently and quietly as the line starts to move toward the door. Once inside, there's soft music playing in the background. Quite a different sound from the drive over. There's also the calming scent of the flowers, which engulfs us. While I made my way shuffling my feet, I noticed several drivers who were visibly shaken. No, we're not at work at the time clock waiting to log in; we're at a wake for one of our brothers’ drivers, Don Albert. He had a heart attack and died while he was on his lunch break from his work.

An awesome account of a working life.

As a UPS feeder driver, I found the author's old war stories very interesting. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning about the job of a career upser.
