Rep Power: 0  |  "Service Provider" bid sheet
At my hub, they recently put up a bid sheet for a "Service Provider." Is this the official term for a package car driver? The bid sheets for a route are usually only available to full-time employees, but this one is open to part-timers as well. I looked around on the UPS Careers website and on browncafe, but I can't find a clear job description for this position. If anyone knows what it is or can steer me to the right site or webpage that explains the position, I would greatly appreciate it. |

I hate that name, its not discriptive enough. Thats like a sales clerk being called a sales associate or assistant manager. I am a "Package Driver". |

Somewhere, someone thought that the title "Service Provider" would sound better than UPS driver, much the same as the garbage man is now called a "Sanitation Engineer", a janitor is called a "Custodial Engineer", etc. My customers call me UPS Dave and that's just fine with me.

Yes, technically, a service provider is a driver. That was changed in the 80's I think, when UPS had a focus on the customer and the service we offered them.
I still think that one sup said it best when answering the phone "united partial service"
