Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out...

A quote often attribute to Jim Casey but it looks like the original author was Robert Collier.

Difficult to say who would actually have written it as Collier only predates Casey by a few years.

I wonder who stole the quote.

My money would now be on Casey

UPS - They wanted quotes

We have become known to all who deal with us as people of integrity, and that priceless asset is more valuable than anything we possess

1957 - Jim Casey (UPS Founder)

One of many quotes that UPS used to fire at us.

Oh how they take the name of Jim Casey in vain. May he strike you down.


UPS’s services have expanded greatly since those two young entrepreneurs founded the company in
1907. Yet despite these changes, it’s a company our founders would immediately recognize … a company
focused on fulfilling its promises to customers and its 408,000 employees. Absolute bullshit, Jim Casey
will be turning in his grave at the antics of the current UPS Management

As a company committed to serving its customers, UPS cannot fulfill its promises without the
partnership of its employees. The passion, curiosity, ingenuity and constructive dissatisfaction that our
founders’ instilled in all UPSers fuels our collective efforts to deliver the best. Nope, its profits all the
way these days

Despite the economic hardships UPS has encountered during its history, we’ve continued to invest in our
business to fulfill the promises we make. They of course should read, continued to line the pockets of
Captain Greedy, D. Scott Davis

We owe our success to the trust of our customers, which translates as we owe our success to the fact we
can pull the wool over our customers eyes.

Casey v Davis

Jim Casey

In 1907, two teenage entrepreneurs created what would become the world's largest package delivery service. Starting in a Seattle basement with a $100 loan, Claude Ryan and Jim Casey opened the American Messenger Company. With telephones and automobiles scarce, the company fulfilled a range of tasks, from running errands and carrying notes on foot or on bicycle, to making home deliveries for drugstore customers. Their fledgling business entered a competitive marketplace, facing numerous firms that also specialized in message and parcel delivery.

Already experienced in business when he began the company, Jim hired other teens as messengers, and his younger brother George joined the firm's leadership ranks. Operating under the principle of providing the best service at the lowest rates, the company prospered. Jim's steadfast commitment to reliability, courtesy, neatness, and high ethical standards helped establish the values that continue to guide UPS today.


D. Scott Davis
Reliability - only by cheating customers
Courtesy - bullying, victimisation, harassment, retaliation
High ethical standards, see above, greed, avarice


Haha blogger changed Casey to cash........apt

UPS Aircraft

Odd that we were told that a UPS plane had never had an accident. Another cover up, like the cause of the flight 1307 accident. The source of the fire was never found. I for one don't believe that. Flight 6 was caused by a package collected in Yemen, but not proven. Nothing to do with UPS cutting corners when it comes to Aviation Security. What were the X-ray operators doing at the time? Playing indoor cricket like they were in the UK? Why was it that around 50 of UPS's UK centres had their X-ray operations closed down? Lax procedures. Strange that doesn't get a mention on wiki. 

Major incidents and accidents

Further information: UPS Airlines Flight 6

• On September 11, 1998, Flight 744, N316UP, a Boeing 767–300, suffered substantial damage after running off the runway at Ellington Field from Louisville International Airport. The airport was experiencing a major storm at the time of the landing, and the aircraft was unable to stop on a wet runway with a strong tailwind. After running off the runway, the aircraft's right landing gear broke off and the right engine separated from the wing. The aircraft was put back into service after major repairs.^[16]
• On June 7, 2005, Flight 6971, N250UP, a McDonnell Douglas MD-11, suffered substantial damage after a landing gear collapse at Louisville International Airport from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. The crew accidentally lowered the nose of the aircraft too quickly, buckling the front landing gear. The aircraft was put back into service after a $10 million repair.^[17]
• On February 7, 2006, Flight 1307, N748UP, a Douglas DC-8, was destroyed by fire at Philadelphia International Airport from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Just before landing the crew reported a smoke detector activated in the cargo hold. After landing, the cargo hold of the aircraft caught fire. The source of the fire was never found.^[18]
• On September 3, 2010, Flight 6,^[19] N571UP, a Boeing 747-400F, crashed near the Dubai Silicon Oasis at approximately 7:45pm local time after declaring an emergency fifty minutes after takeoff. Both crew members were killed, the first such casualties in UPS' history.^[20] On 6 November 2010 Agence France-Presse released the Arabic Al-Qaeda statement that the crash was due to on-board explosion of an air package collected in Yemen, to date this has not been proven.^[21]

And just to clear any possible mis-understanding. There's nothing wrong with UPS and its services. Most of its employees are very hard working and conscientious. It's the bullies, liars and thieves running the Company I take issue with.

As I've said before, Jim Casey must be turning in his grave.

James E. Casey's 10 Rules For Continued Success Of UPS

C.L. Kane wrote "The Tightest Ship"  an expose' about UPS from a driver's point of view  Kane listed 10 Commandments from the company's founder.

• 1."The future of the package industry is in the air"

Casey began an air service in 1928.  The Depression made the company abandon the service. After WWII, Casey wanted a Next Day Service. The "new" leaders of the company decided 48 state ground service was more important.

• 2."A fair day's work for a fair day's pay"

Old timers remember when almost every driver "ran under". The time allowance has been tightened so much that only the drivers who take short-cuts, skip lunch, work "off the clock" and/or run meet the standard.

• 3."Don't make company demands that border on harassment"

This website has many, many examples of the harassment that is systemic at UPS.

• 4."They are advised to constantly seek better, safer work methods." 

If that was true, would UPS have the safety record it does? Faster, faster, and faster seems to be the policy.

• 5."Provide the best possible service for the least money."

"Left in building" packages are on the rise. Damage claims (especially over 70 lbs.) are very difficult to be resolved successfully. Other companies discount their prices deeper. 

• 6."Always promote from our own ranks" 

This should be especially true of the Industrial Engineering Department that sets the time allowance.

• 7."No stock outside the company"

Today, it's no voting power outside the company. No outsider (B stock owner) can pressure the Board of Directors to do anything. And how much did the Board members' portfolios rise on the day UPS began to publicly sell stock?

• 8."Treat your people well and the company will florish."

This website, DenverBrown.com, TDU.org and others document the facts.

• 9."Stay close to your employees."

That probably didn't mean spy technology installed in every truck.

• 10."Personal pride and dignity are essential to each employee, without this management fails and the company will not prosper."

N.A.B.E.R. couldn't agree more
