Hi, I have a couple questions and I'm not sure where to post them. So I guess I'll just start here and hopefully be pointed in the right direction.
1. I have a class A CDL and am interested in driving for UPS and am curious about the overall treatment/compensation for drivers.
2. Would I start in the warehouse, a van, or straight into a tractor trailer?
I thank you in advance for any insight I might gain from you.

Wook503 | 1.It differs in each hub/center how management treats you.....Pay is pretty good starts at $14.70 I think.
2. You would start in the warehouse.....with the layoffs and such the layed off drivers have first chance to go back into driving then a newbie.

Welcome to Browncafe.
To start a thread this is what you do:
Click on the “Brown Café Forum” in the left navigation menu.
Then click on one of the forums – typically “ UPS Discussions”
That then brings up a listing of Threads
Look up just over the words “Threads in Forum” and you will see a button titled “New Thread”.
Click on that button and on the next page enter a Title and then type your verbiage.
When through click on the button titles “Submit New Thread”
Congratulations…you just started a new thread.

Hilo! Yes, I know I said HILO and yes, that's how I speak. I'm a newbie, be gentle.
I was hired as a drivers helper last Tuesday, but I have yet to get any hours....FRUSTRATED! I call every day, but no hours available. Anyway, I'm here trying to learn any info I can. I know this isn't a perm. position, but I'm one of those folks that likes to be super prepared to do their job. I also hope to be a future package handler.
I don't have my employee id to log into upsers.com. From my understanding, even though I'm seasonal, I should still be able to access the site.
I'm just saying HI and looking for info.
My q: Is there any way that I can obtain my id? The folks at my hub don't seem to be that helpful, thus far. Anyone that can help can pm me. I know internal info is not to be posted publicly. TIA!
Thanks for this site, too....it is very helpful and informative! | |

UPDATE: Obtained my id. Thanks because I got the Gen HR number here, which led me to my local HR, which got me my employee id!

I suggest you post your location state and somebody should be able to help you.
