    PT Preload contract? Pay raises?

    I've been @ UPS since last peak season as a temp (2016) and got hired on as a perm. Started at $11 and I THINK I'm supposed to get my first pay increase august 1st? But honestly I have no clue because our tiny warehouse never informs us of anything. However I've read on the forums that the new...

    is it normal to be hired as a part time package handler/air drop combo?

    I have orientation tomorrow. I am leaving a full time well paying job for this opportunity. I want to know if this is a normal position to be hired in as. Also want to make sure this is a path that will lead to a full time driver position? I was told in my interview that they were on the 7th...

    Late air - Is this widespread? What's going on?

    For the past 2 months, we've had late air 2-3 times a week, every week. Either requiring on road meets or waiting in the building for a half hour. The "normal" frequency is more like a late air day once every 2-3 weeks (at least in my center). I'm in the northeast. Is this a problem stemming all...

    Package Handler -> Driver Helper

    Back again, I have yet to see this covered in the forums, and I've been itching to ask it. I know UPS hires seasonal driver helpers off the street, but can a current PH opt to be a driver helper during the peak season? Or do they only offer it to off the street hires so they don't have to...

    Part Time Air Driver/Preloader Pay Question

    I am told I am classified as a PT Air Driver, as of recently. I just started to work Saturdays as an Air Driver, but also preload Monday-Friday. Is my hourly pay different based on what job I am doing, or am I getting Air Driver rate no matter what I'm doing because that is my classification...

    Mandatory Saturdays for only one Center? Preload

    My current operations manager is on vacation and we have some supervisor chump watching over our center while she's gone. Last Saturday, for our center, we had 4 guys show up to work because everyone else either no showed or did or didn't call in. He said this is unacceptable and that now, just...

    Sup touching my packages?

    I work in preload and have recently been filling in for another person on another pen because they're on vacation. The current part-time sup has been doing things such as stacking me in my truck, moving my irregs, and going as far as taking irregs off the belt and putting them into the truck. I...

    Driver helper

    No this isn't another dumb question like "will I be considered for a driver position" or anything like that......I'm sure I'll still get slammed the same as if it were a dumb question. But I just wanted to say thank you to the drivers out there that make this position fun and exciting. *bring on...

    When you got that awful day at work, what goes through your mind to make it better?

    As a preloader I could sit here and say you drivers and etc don't have tough days but y'all have to deal with PEOPLE through out your day so I know I don't really have it that bad. I've been in customer service for 7 years I know it sucks. When you get that tough day, what gets you through it?

    Got snapped at by a clerk for being early and setting up the belt?

    Just a rant. I get to work 20 - 40 minutes early everyday. Clerk saw me setting up the belt like she has many times and says "wish you guys would stop coming in early and working off the clock". I tried to explain that I was just setting up cause it helps me get ready to just start loading my...

    l feel pathetic when the sups send guys to help me with my trucks..(preload)..

    I'm thankful, don't get me wrong. They do help me. But I just feel weak. And when the drivers come in and see other preloaders who are guys helping me out it makes me feel :censored:ing pathetic, that I can't do my damn job. I don't want it to be like that. I want to be able to do my own damn trucks...

    At your center, what belt do new preloaders start on? Any fun preload stories?

    I got started on belt one of three. It's a small center. A supervisor is telling me I shouldn't have been started on that belt but i think it'll make me a better preloader in the end. I really like this job so far.

    End of 2nd week as a preloader..

Today i had to ask for help cause I got 50+ packages at the same time. I hope asking for help isnt bad. The first time i asked for help the...
