So I'll be working 3:30-8:00 AM at Fedex and 1-5:30 at UPS. I have a couple of questions for anyone that would know. Does FedEx pay weekly? What holidays are they off? Is it a faster or slower pace than UPS?
Opps. I've actually told both UPS and Fedex I was doing this. Neither said boo. I got the idea from one of the PT Sups at UPS who worked at FedEx as an hourly for a while last year for some extra cash. I mean I really like working at UPS but had they gotten mad about this I really would of been angry. They expect me to sit around and work 22 hours on their little part time shift my whole life?#1 rule, absolutely keep your mouth shut about where your second job is...
I've known a few people able to pull this off without a hitch, but honestly you can't say a word.
I'll drive straight from Fedex to UPS and sleep in my car until it's time to work. This is the life I chose for better or worse.When do you plan on sleeping?
Well, good luck with that.I'll drive straight from Fedex to UPS and sleep in my car until it's time to work. This is the life I chose for better or worse.
Ground pays weekly. Only the major holidays off. I'm sure the pace is similar. I doubt you'll actually get that whole shift at Ground. They will probably start closer to 4 and get you off the clock around 7.So I'll be working 3:30-8:00 AM at Fedex and 1-5:30 at UPS. I have a couple of questions for anyone that would know.

Yeah I've already thought about that and it'll suck haha. We typically start at 9:30 everyday at UPS during peak so hopefully I'm done with FedEx by that time in the morning then. It'll work itself out. I told Fedex that I worked at UPS and then at the orientation today they went through all the policies and one of them was you can not work at UPS. I'll just keep my mouth shut about it from here on out. Hopefully it was just a situation where the guy had to say that but in reality he could care less.So how you're going to work around peak? Lol.
I wouldn't worry about it to much. If it comes down to it, quit FedEx. UPS is the better option long term.Yeah I've already thought about that and it'll suck haha.

Hopefully he couldn't care less!Hopefully it was just a situation where the guy had to say that but in reality he could care less.
I worked at both for about a year many years ago. I started UPS on twilight first then applied at RPS, which had been bought by FedEx not long before that, and chose noonday. I was pulled out of training by the supervisor giving the class. He said he always let UPSers choose their work areas from the available work because of their experience. I choose to unload.So I'll be working 3:30-8:00 AM at Fedex and 1-5:30 at UPS. I have a couple of questions for anyone that would know. Does FedEx pay weekly? What holidays are they off?

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLMy first day was Saturday morning at FedEx and the sort manger was clearly aware I work for UPS. He openly talked about both companies with me so I'm good. I'm about to see if I can get a bump in pay for my experience. I won't hold my breath.
Damn it now I have coffee all over my monitor. Best of luck with that pay bump... HAHAHA!My first day was Saturday morning at FedEx and the sort manger was clearly aware I work for UPS.
