I get a message everyday telling me how long to keep my helper. I follow it to a tee. If the plan fails, it's not on me.

One other reason why I doubt it was my son's work, was because they didn't call him to work at all until a week after orientation. The director of the office told me he was trying to find more work for him, but that our section of the city didn't have as much work as other areas, so I'm assuming that's what it is.
This is an old thread I found that answered a lot of my questions, and made me see this situation is not that uncommon: http://www.browncafe.com/forum/f6/driver-helper-no-work-47790/
drivers who send their help home either don't care or don't know they can keep them.
You seem like a nice person but it's your son who should be communicating with UPS, not you.The director of the office told me he was trying to find more work for him, but that our section of the city didn't have as much work as other areas, so I'm assuming that's what it is.
or they want the OT.
sucky for your helper who's got 2 weeks to make a few bucks before getting tossed. If I got sent home with like 30 bucks every day i'd had have been gone. they wonder why helpers quit
Don't went a helper. His 30 bucks cost me 50.

I was thinking the same thing. I know parents mean well for their kids, but it's pretty much game over when parents start getting involved with work. I'd be embarrassed.You seem like a nice person but it's your son who should be communicating with UPS, not you.
First year as a helper I would go to a pay phone after the drivers were done with me and ask to meet another driver. After the first week I would just go to the building before start time and wait. I was very assertive and there was always someone having a crisis that needed help. I still have the paystubs and worked 155 hrs that peak season.

Drivers are given a finite time limit that they're able to keep helpers, generally ranging from 2-8 hours.
I wish I was in your center. I would be enjoying a 3 day vacation during peak.In my center the MATRIX had a range of .6 hrs to 31 hrs this year. Failure to follow was a Talk with, 3 day suspension, then termination.
That paints a whole different picture.
Without knowing the disability it is really hard to say if he was a good fit or not.
Good luck in the future.
