    5 Seeing Habits

    Hi, guys. Is this test on the 5/10 done at the UPS School? Is it written or do I have to say them out load to the person giving me the test? and how strict are they if you mess up once? I heard it depends on the person testing you.

    Should I still pursue this career or will it be a waste if my time to wait until im 21?

I was t-boned by another driver who was distracted while driving but it ended up being my fault because I was blocking her right of way. I got a minor ticket for failure to...

    Part time employees jobs being eliminated by this proposed contract

    I just read briefly over the proposed contract. It appears that the union has decided to push even harder to create full time jobs. I can understand this to an extent. There are union employees that do not want to work full time. In fact this had been a great resource for people who are...

    Drivers application question

    So, I got my driver's application from UPS, and they want the requisite driving violations history. Several decades back I had a DUI. Does this totally preclude me from consideration? Second question, they want to know the date of offense and conviction, and I don't know. I caĺed the court and...

    No Deliveries After 9pm, Including Peak

    Am I the only one who caught this proposal? In section 25 they’re asking the company to call back all drivers by 9pm and no one can be disciplined for missed pieces. EVEN in peak! Could this be the section that causes the strike? Or are they trolling?

    Changing times

    so I was wondering if anyone has any other ideas. Our entire building is notorious for changing our time cards. 10 minutes here and there sometimes more. Every time you bring it to their attention the “mistake” gets fixed, and a lot of times they would try and say the employee must have entered...

    When does free period end?

    When does free period end? Our center is still using all drivers to run full routes. Do drivers that work after free period get peak days counted if they’re still driving? Or at least the days leading up to peak? Thanks in advance

    6th punch for Friday due to Holiday on Sunday

    Was talking to an older driver, he stated he heard that today was our 6th punch. So that would mean 1.5 pay for the day. I’m in the central so I don’t know if it is different in other regions. Just trying to verify if anyone heard anything similar to the post or had any idea about it.
