Well the pay is crap, the training is crap… what more can be said about helpers being lazy and quitting? HR doesn't exactly tell the truth as to how fast paced it is and what it really entails.
I got lucky with my driver. He lets me work his full route, from loading his truck to the last stop. I get 40+ a week After reading on here for a few weeks I was really worried about only working 3-4 hours a day.
Are you working out of a satellite center?
Not sure. It is a remote route so a truck from the center meets up with 3-4 of our trucks and we load up from there. What is a satellite center and what other types are there?
A satellite center is exactly what you described. The truck that brings you the work originates from the main center which is where most of us work out of. Our hubs sort packages to the main center, which then distributes them to the satellites, if any.
So the location that the trailer meets us is the "satellite center?"
The only problem that I am having is that the center always messages my driver on his board asking if he has a helper...I have been with this guy since they called me and I haven't missed a day so do they just like...don't know that I exist...? I worry about the option for re-hire after the season. I know the odds are low anyway so I have been looking for other work until the possibility my came up in the future.
I'm a good helper as I got recruited this year and now I'm regretting it. I absolutely do NOT want more than 5 hours a day and have to remind my driver of that. He now has a second helper as his route is really busy. The sad thing is, he still keeps me really long.
Yes, the location where the trailer meets you is called a satellite center. UPS rents the space where the package cars are kept overnight. Packages and the DIAD(s) are brought from the home center and pickup pieces and the DIAD(s) are brought back at the end of the day.
Your odds of being rehired after Peak are much lower because you are working out of a satellite center.
Hmm. i will have to work my magic then. All the drivers that meet at the satellite center know me and my driver speaks highly of me so I have that. I've considered calling the main center and asking for HR but from what I have gathered from here is that HR is always busy and it's peak so I can't see them giving me the time of day. So. Sometime between now and the end of peak I might make a trip to the center and show my face and I guess express my interest in working at UPS.
