[QUOTE="TheMachine, post: 3555340, member: 71623"] Can only speak for mine, plus yours was only one regional class out of how many in how many states? We had a 7:45am start and stayed until 5:45, had guys sent home for failing appearance standards and lateness, one by 5 mins late on the first day and was told to leave. We were fed the crap, computer modules had to be done by a certain time on the day, Some guys didn’t complete all the modules and were not allowed to complete them at their centers after the class so they returned the next week/class. Had the learn the 5 seeing habits by day 2 and the 10 by day 3, yard control and rules of backing, slips and falls all by day 4 of 7. We had two days of driving, tested on pre trip before hand and explained what we were checking as the instructor followed us around the car. Drove a battered 1000 with a splicer that barely held, in which commentary was to be recited. You were tested on where and how you parked when told to deliver. We pulled in the hub and had to back in between two package cars while reciting the rules of backing and trying to tap your horn and park the thing. If the rear step wasn’t level with the walkway on the belt you had to do it again. If you weren’t in between the two yellow lines in the loading slot, you had to do it again. Every morning we polished boots in front of the instructor unless he said you were good and he checked for your shave and ironed and pressed pants. Every morning was the tests and presentations to the class. I had to present the 10 seeing habits to the class at least once and I remember a particularly awkward lifting and lowering presentation. three times a day we picked questions out of a hat and had to answer. if we got it wrong the next guy had to pick up the slack for you as well as pick out his own question. Ours sucked and it has a reputation around the state, nobody enjoys it and management warns you it sucks because the instructor thinks Intergrad is nonsense and teaches you “how UPS actually is” Three guys failed to test out on the last day, told to come back but never found out if they did. Like I said, some are tough. [/QUOTE]
