driver

As the name suggest I recently (still haven't made seniority) and the hub I am at is short staffed across the board (drivers preload and supervisors) so basically I was "thrown to the wolves" when I started preloading the second day and did 3 trucks with very little help, which is fine I prefer...

Hello all. It is a relief to be able to say that I made it through Integrad and it was not as bad as I had expected. Thanks to some other posts on this site I was quite nervous at the beginning about some things regarding uniforms and appearance but I found that it wasn't as military like as I...

Can you call in while on vacation to see if you can work? Obviously you can call in, but will they let you?

With the Powerball so high, how great would it be for a UPS'er to win? Good luck!

I'd like to start a thread to share simple "hacks" that could make things easier for drivers. Here are a few that I have come up with during my 28 year career. This is the "zip tie Mag Light holder." All you need is a zip tie and a Phillips head screwdriver to solve the problem of keeping your...

I maybe relocating to this area. Wondering if anyone works out this center or know about it that could PM me and help me out with some questions. Thanks

Hello all. I was hired at the end of November as a seasonal driver helper. I was hired immediately and attended the paid orientation. I am a very motivated worker and I feel that was reflected during my brief interview. I told the woman in HR that I am "Ready to bust my ass" for this job. She...

After many years of working with Drivers Helpers, I feel comfortable in sharing some observations. Patterns suggest we can group them into key groups. Of course, I'm not a psychologist, nor, do I play one on TV, however, having said that, here are my observations in no special order. The...

My Socal Hub has really been keeping guys on a short leash the last few weeks or so it would seem. I've heard of numerous firings for everything from mistakes, attendence, arguments, and so forth. The terminations have directly affected the areas i work in because i am finding myself being...

I know the drivers have tons of things that bug them and we preloaders may cause a few of those issues; however we also have things that bother us. . . 1. Add/cuts that are given to us when we are wrapping up our trucks. 2. A huge add with smeared writing so we have no clue where...

I've been a member of this forum community for two days now, as a result of starting a part-time position as a driver helper next week. And I was just curious from reading most of the posts, is UPS really as horrible as people make it out to be? Some of the things I've seen people say: 1. You...
