[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1067763, member: 43436"] I will answer the OP's question: UPS *is* planning for enough helpers to meet its projected staffing needs. Remember, the Company attempts to give the same driver the same helper everyday and thus if you didn't begin working before/shortly after Thanksgiving, your chances of working decrease. But there are still some drivers that will very infrequently get helpers, as well as helpers that quit, get fired, get hurt, or run into other situations that prevent them from working select days -- and, unfortunately, that's your position in the queue. Typically, the Company is explicit with this information during late orientation sessions. Don't let the postings on BrownCafe fool you into thinking they represent the general population of UPS drivers as a whole. They don't. Most drivers are friendly & recognize/understand the initial soreness/fatigue helpers experience. Most will do what they can - within reason - to make the helper feel more comfortable. Unfortunately, some of the more dominate "voices" on here are ***holes. [/QUOTE]
