peak

Every route had 260+ stops with commercials. 2 of our drivers had 8hr days. 5 call ins. Personally can’t wait to see how many missed we can bring back lol

I feel kinda bad for (some of) the people who were led to believe that if they showed up everyday and worked really hard there would likely be a permanent position waiting for them at the end of peak season. In my building anyway, that is simply not gonna be the case. There are 4 or 5 full time...

So everybody I've asked at the Lexington hub has given me such a mixed variety of answers to this question that I am really unsure of who to believe. On the 3rd of December I passed the part-time supervisor test. Now I'm just simply waiting to be notified of when I get this position. How long...

Let me start off by saying that I'm a fairly new driver. This is my second peak that I've been a part of. With that being said, it mind boggles me how a company of this satire can be so ran so poorly. It's like they don't even try when it comes to peak. Yet the boast about delivering boxes for...

UPS forcing drivers to work 70-hour weeks with mandatory overtime requirement during holidays - NY Daily News This Christmas, UPS drivers are getting the gift of overtime — whether they want it or not. United Parcel Service on Dec. 1 called for mandatory overtime for its drivers across the...

Tomorrow, well tonight actually, a crew of us are going in for 6th punch. About half as many drivers on route but 25% of today's pieces. It'll be easy to smash out. So instead of hiring seasonals who stay and are worth it, they're giving us "special pay" of $12.50, which will be sixth punch...

UPS brass lead us into this nightmare yet it’s our jobs that are threatened with “gross insubordination” if we dare challenge their 70hr work week. Without bad weather to play scapegoat UPS will need to take full responsibility for their peak season plan or lack here of. The word is out and the...

UPS Warns of Temporary Delays After Cyber Monday Overwhelms Network "Online orders on Cyber Monday, Nov. 27, and the days after overwhelmed expectations, UPS spokesman Steve Gaut said Dec. 5, causing a “bubble” to develop at certain package centers. Heavy volumes forced one- or two-day delays...

I'm a trainee and was sent to a completely different hub to help out during peak. The building is only 7 years young but it seems like they foolishly didn't make it large enough to handle the heavy volume. Anyway, today they made a mirror route ( never heard of this before) that took of...

And say this peak is going to suck.

8 hour days start back up January 1st. It's 10% of drivers working so after a long weekend volume should be heavy so there should be a high amount of drivers that qualify. I like the look on center manager's face when I turn the request in next week as the whole district is sinking fast. I will add that...

Is Feeders a bit puggy?

I’m currently way over 30 days behind the wheel. I’m being told I can’t qualify until after the new year that all days after 11/1 don’t count. That they will go back to total days behind wheel before 11/1.. Is this fact? Some other have said since I was driving before peak season it doesn’t...

I'm paying off some old bills and finishing the car payments early. Short of that, building a nest egg for when everything slows down. Probably gonna get a few small things for myself. No real plans and we don't do Christmas for the most part. Hopefully setting up my edible mushroom farm and...

Today was the worst day I seen in my career. Had to have been 1000 at the minimum missed in my center before the drivers even hit 14hr curfew just from lib. Tons of drivers all pulling in right at 14hr with more missed. I'm curious of our centers grand total today. I hit 14... brought back...

Who is responsible for the dismal failures we've seen so far this peak season? What could be done to fix it? Is there any fixing it?

Why USPS Says a Package Is Delivered When It Isn't Here's Why USPS Says a Package Is Delivered When It Isn't I'm glad that sort of thing does not happen here!

couple questions.. Since it's peak.. Is the 6 day punch still time and a half all day for the 6th day? Also, Don't they have to ask from the top down if they want the 6 day punch or do the Tuesday-Saturday workers have first dibs on the 6 day punch?

Hi guys. I’m fairly new to this forum and UPS in general. I’ve just been completing training for package car driving and have worked at UPS for a total of about 6 months. So recently (Wed. 11/22) I got in a minor accident in which a gutter that was sticking out at a little coffee shop got...

Long story short I am currently working as a seasonal delivery driver helper. The position entails a $200 weekly and $500 seasonal attendance bonus. I just received a notice for jury duty which would be during peak season when I would most likely be called. I am working on deferring my jury duty...
