tips

Any glove suggestions? I'd rather not destroy my hands for nothing, and wouldn't like to keep using pure grip strength for picking up packages while scrambling to unload as fast as possible. For unloading specifically. I was loading trucks and would use any old gloves just fine for a while, but...

This is about my third week at ups, 2 weeks without a trainer. Now everyday I have 2 trucks at a time and one has heavy flow, one has medium flow. My timing is way better than I first started with scanning and placing at a quick pace. But even then sometimes I get overwhelmed when I’m a bit...

Hi people! I just got hired by UPS in Atlanta, GA! My start date is this Monday. Any tips or advice for a newbie like myself??? What can I expect?

I have been preload for about 2 1/2 months now. I first started working there because I needed to get out of the house more. But now I’m making some money, so I want more. Today I was asked if I would be interested in taking the week long class of becoming a driver since they were wanting to...

I've had 6 days in preload. Day 1, I did my (3 car) set with a sup. Day 2&3, did the same set by myself and was keeping up, starting to get used to it. Day 4, someone called in - sups put me on a new (4 car) set at the end of the belt with a sup helping half the day, went OK. Day 5, someone else...
