Hi, I just started at ups as a part time loader (not seasonal made it in before the cutoff). I had my in class training days Monday through Wednesday, my first on floor day Thursday and my evaluation on Friday. I hit 330 PPH and my best wall was a 9 my worst a 6. I don't have any issues...

I’m new to UPS, I think it’s going pretty well so far, I just found this website by accident. Anybody got tips for me. I’m loading trailers btw.

I’ve started my 30 days to make book early April but was sick for a week which delayed the process. I’ve been scratching by 1.48 And 1.22 under consistently, maintained good numbers telematics wise and never complain. My only concern is that the hub I’m in is slammed, we’ve even brought seasonal...

Good day, I'll be starting as a mechanic working on semi trucks on monday in the Atlanta area.I would like to know more about the environment, I would also like to know more about the benefits like health insurance, 401k etc. This will be my first time working with a union. My main concern is...

Every single time I am the one who gets picked on to be sent home. Even though there was a trainee, he was just floating around picking up randon stuff. Another preloader even joke saying "You just walking around doing nothing." There were three other trainees on they belt. They came several...

Title really says it all. Is there anything I should know/expect for my first interview at the Henrietta NY location? I've been a courier for about a year, at a Amazon sub contractor averaging 140 to 180 stops per day, working 4-5 ten hour days a week. I think I have what it takes to join the...

So I’m considering making the jump from a USPS driver to a UPS package driver. I went to the tour of the building and got the opportunity to speak to HR. To cut it short, I was told I’d be brought in as a temporary driver during peak season and then I’ll be transferred to the warehouse. This...

I have worked preload for about 7 months non-sat about 30-33hrs and I have a full time job on top of that. I have been thinking about becoming a driver and working preload on days I don't drive and giving up my full time job. I have asked a lot of people some say good some say driving is not...

Building new step vans and box vans to improve the driver experience. What changes would y'all propose?

So I technically just started yesterday but they didn't have a route for me. Today at 9 I get a call asking if I'm available for a 5 hour route in my area. I tell them yes and ask when to expect a call from my driver. I was told 30 minutes and now it's almost noon with no info on whats...

I've just finished my first week of working as a package handler and so far the job keeps getting easier and more enjoyable every day. I'm somewhat overweight, so I'm hoping to lose some serious weight working here. Some questions I have: -How sustainable is going to the gym before or after...

Hi everyone! I'm starting my 5th week as a package handler. I've been mostly doing work in small sort as a bagger but every shift I've been shuffled to the metals belt and loading trucks. So far it's been quite a unique experience, but then again my situation is equally unique as well. Being...

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...

I've had 6 days in preload. Day 1, I did my (3 car) set with a sup. Day 2&3, did the same set by myself and was keeping up, starting to get used to it. Day 4, someone called in - sups put me on a new (4 car) set at the end of the belt with a sup helping half the day, went OK. Day 5, someone else...

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...
