Sheeeeesh

 

[G.V. Rush]

I love my job, I hate starting at 9:30

9:30?! That’s criminal. It’s almost like they love service failures. And I thought 9am start times suck

All the road supes are home by 2:30 snuggling a blanket , they should stay till last driver punches out

LOTS OF SICK DAYS BOYS

Yes 2 years later and still in the same area.. I love it tho

ur more of a man than me, power to you

 

[11.19igrad]

This was 2 years ago.. I’m still in that same area loading the same trucks. I love my area and my drivers. I start school for driving the end of this month. Nothing but love for ups

whatever you do, ask for demonstrations on rollaway prevention and tightening the handbrake. theres a lot they may not cover with you.

there will be a lot of laughs and jokes on this but just trust me.

2 years later and I’m still loading those same 4 trucks BUT I’m a beast and never stack out just passed my road test and waiting for a placement in school

Thanks for being an inspiration. I’m starting on my 4th week, next week, and I do 3 trucks, plus a trailer, but the trailer doesn’t get much. Physically, I love it, but mentally, it’s tough for me, because I’m getting old. I still try and do my best job, every night, even though there is no glory in the job, and no one else cares. That’s the work ethic my father taught me, and I don’t have the union mentality to slow down nor do a sloppy job. I know UPS doesn’t care, the drivers don’t care, and Brown Cafe doesn’t care, but I do. The girl across from me does 4 trucks and never complains, so she’s a bit of an inspiration to me, too, although she won’t divulge any hacks to getting it done! I’ll figure it out one day.
Congratulations on making it to driver status. Sorry you had to put up with all the crap on this thread. It’s pathetic. There is no chivalry today, and a big reason why us men are assumed to bumbling, fumbling, morons, and can’t get any respect, and, why I detest social media. Good luck in your endeavors.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I truly thought I wasn’t going to make it. I have proven myself so much over the last 2 years and you can do the same! Not many people understand the mind battle some of us face while doing this. Everyday i consider a challenge that I can’t let beat me... i actually have a really good sup who once told me “this job never gets easier you only get better” and I will always use this quote every single day. Good luck to you my friend.

This is the internet... You need to learn to let things roll off your back. Especially if you're going to work at UPS.

Or learn to use the ignore feature. Especially on @burrheadd because he's a dirty Chiefs fan.

Physically, I love it, but mentally, it’s tough for me, because I’m getting old.

Shouldn't this be said in reverse?
Like wouldn't it be tougher physically as you get older vs mentally?

although she won’t divulge any hacks to getting it done! I’ll figure it out one day.

What hacks you expect her to share?
Just come to work when you're supposed to and converse with your driver's.
You'll be fine.

Chivalry? You do realize women this day and age want/desire to be treated equal to men right?
No one assumes all men are any of what you just stated.
Do you watch a lot of tv or something?

 

[NewUPSgirl]

You will have to learn your own hacks. It will come in time... only thing I know to share that might help is move as fast as you ever have in your whole life. Don’t spend no more than 3 seconds on the truck loading the packages. If it won’t fit sit it down and try again whenever you have to go back into that same truck. Move fast.. work hard. It won’t get easier... you’ll get better!
