UPS uniforms have perfected the art of displaying sweat stains!

Our dark shirts do a good job with the white sweat stains as well.

Brown hides dirt (by intent) but not as good at hiding dried sweat stains.

Too bad VF Imagewear is trending toward 100% synthetic for FedEx customer side clothing. Cotton blends were so much more comfortable. Synthetics will also present a bad situation to your skin if you are involved in a fire or extreme heat / chemical spill situation.

I love the cotton blend so much more.

Alright because it's been over a month and like 5 days I just don't know what's the hold up & why they take so long.

Because they can.

No person in this world (except you I guess) thinks brown polyester is a cool looking uniform.

I like Brown. Lol it's one of the few colors that I can wear.

I liked when I didn't have to wear and wash my clothes for 2 years until they no longer felt like an entire can of starch was sprayed on them.

It's been a month In a half and FedEx still haven't called me back for my background check should I be worried? They also sent me the extended application through email to see if I'm still interested in the package handler position do that means I will still get hired?

Call them and bug them. I was a FX contractor for 18 yrs. in CA. I called for a HD job in bumF Egypt and the girl on the phone tried to tell me that they weren't looking for drivers now. I asked to speak to her boss since my files were still current. I was asked if I could start tomorrow.

Oh they suck, Logos look like an 80's iron on after just a few washes, we are constantly
moving, rubbing and holding packages against our clothing.
These shirts have pulls, and look like crap. Plus if your sort position puts you in the unload,
you are certain to ruin a shirt in a matter of days, oh and CRRs in these positions aren't allowed to wear anything else, not even a handler shirt ?!

Which opco did you say you work for? Because your info sure is incorrect. A courier is required to wear their uniform when in contact with a customer. Don't think the unload (or reload) qualifies as such.

Couriers at my station wear whatever they want. Ive even seen them come off the road wearing their own shirt. Nothing is said. WAGN, right @bbsam?

Actually we're pretty much in uniform these days but yes, WAGN.

We had people wearing the warehouse tee shirts, onroad. Lasted a few weeks before nearly everyone was doing it and the DM caught wind of it. A few threats if suspension later and everyone was back to normal. Every now and again, someone will test it but management shoots it down as soon as they see it.

The absolute best was when we had those white shirts (with the ridiculous epaulets). What freaking genius ever came up with the idea that WHITE would be a good color to wear in this business?

Hey I agree, its a dumb rule, I don't make the rules, just sharing here, they say "audit item" whatever that is, haven't seen an audit in 15yrs... we have couriers who bring two uniform shirts, one to sweat in during the sort, and another to change into before leaving on road.

Was that back when you guys were still an airline?

We still ARE an airline.

 

[Star B]

Yep, We're so an airline that our badges says "AIRLINE IDENTIFICATION"
