    Shorter wait times...or am I crazy?

    I have multiple friends working for UPS as drivers in different areas of the country. In my area in the midwest, at all three hubs within 5-25 miles from me, the wait times to drive are roughly 6 months-1.5 years. Talked to a buddy in Texas who said the time at his hub is the same. In...

    misleading temp help

    I feel kinda bad for (some of) the people who were led to believe that if they showed up everyday and worked really hard there would likely be a permanent position waiting for them at the end of peak season. In my building anyway, that is simply not gonna be the case. There are 4 or 5 full time...

    Friday after Thanksgiving: 1.5x?

    Am a new fulltime permanent and worked the Friday after Thanksgiving. Was told by another driver that day is 1.5x. Is this for everyone or only drivers with seniority? Also for drivers with direct deposit, how do you see your paystub? Also, where's the employee handbook?

    Technicality

    I was wondering if management does not care for a person for personal reasons what are some loop holes that they can use to get him fired even though he comes in on time and does his job?
