    At 36 am I too old?

    To start a career with UPS? I'd want to shoot for a driver position eventually and as I understand there is a long wait list. I've been reading on here that a lot of times people don't make driver until their 30s 40s or even later. So at 36, would I even have a chance? I believe I'm...

I recieved on the mail today a Teamster-UPS National 401(k) tax differed savings plan packet. I would assume this means that I will be kept...

    Center and driver helper question, on topic please

    Center and helper question. Five hours in the center, followed by 6 hours on a package car. HR is claiming they are two different jobs, therefore no OT.. They show up on the same paycheck though. Any thoughts, ideas, arguments before I file a grievance? Thanks in advance for any real thoughts…

    Want to be a driver. But had a accident.

    I had an accident today. My car is most likely total. I wasn't at fault. I have never been into an accident and have good driving record. I know Ups requires documentation of your driving record before you can drive for them. How much will this affect me?

    How are bonuses paid?

    I’m a seasonal driver helper and just got my first paycheck, but the $300 bonus was not on it. Does that come on a different check? Or do I need to kick someone’s ass?

    Driver Helper caught stealing during job

    UPS driver accused of stealing package during delivery in North Haven *actually a driver helper - the headline is misleading 1) This guy was just hired last week. Obviously, they didn't hire enough people so they rushed him through orientation. How many casual drivers got "rushed through" ...

    What's in your tote every morning? ("On Topic")

    I tote next day air, smallest smalls, and air envelopes. I always tote people's medicines. Especially the envelopes half the size of a dollar bill. Anything the size of a softball or smaller, really. With smart scan, it's easier than ever to see the service type on the label. For drivers: What...

    What's so hard to get?

    Let me start off by saying that I'm a fairly new driver. This is my second peak that I've been a part of. With that being said, it mind boggles me how a company of this satire can be so ran so poorly. It's like they don't even try when it comes to peak. Yet the boast about delivering boxes for...

    Atlanta Snowmageddon ... AGAIN

    3 - 6 inches in and around the Atlanta area at 32° and getting colder. I, myself, am up to snow good. Schools didn't call a snow day ... now parents and news stations are flocking mad. UPS Drivers still out? Corporate employees get their packages at home?

    I hope UPS is learning from this

    Tomorrow, well tonight actually, a crew of us are going in for 6th punch. About half as many drivers on route but 25% of today's pieces. It'll be easy to smash out. So instead of hiring seasonals who stay and are worth it, they're giving us "special pay" of $12.50, which will be sixth punch...

    Overtime question

    If I worked 65 hours last week with all of the days being over 8 hours should I be receiving more than 25 hours of overtime since anything over 8 hours is considered overtime?

    Seasonal driver, little hours....

    As a seasonal driver is it normal to only work 2 or 3 days a week? I worked 40 plus last week then this week no work monday or today. What gives??

    Hey, Man! Be cool.

    I mean this sincerely to all my good union brothers and sisters, fulltime and partime: DON’T LOSE YOUR COOL because of the mess UPS mismanagement has put us in. As a feeder driver, I bumble around from hub to hub supporting various preloads in my district. I’ve seen a lot of anxiety, stress...
