This is how I learned it:
Number 1 start:
When starting up at intersection look left right left and check your mirrors
2. Stop.
When stopped in traffic with one car length of space in front
3. Remember 123.
Count 1, 2, 3 before the vehicle ahead has begun to move before moving
4.
4 to 6 second following distance for speeds under 30, 6 to 8 for speeds over 30
5. Continues from the previous 8.
8 to 12 second eye lead time this is a depth in which my vision should be.
6. is an unlucky number, and it would be very unlucky if a parked car suddenly opened it’s driver side door just as you swiped by it. So:
Scan the steering wheels to park cars for signs of life
7. is a lucky number, and if you’re lucky you can make it through a green light in time.
Be aware of steel green lights and have a point ted decision
8. Eight, begins with E.
Establish Eye to Eye contact with motorist and pedestrians
9 is just random nine.
When pulling from the curb look over your left shoulder
10. goes back to 5,
Use of mirrors every 5 to 8 seconds looking forward every two.

I was 21 years old and the class clown when I was in the training. Although nobody was laughing when I volunteered to take the final exam first up and walked out with my uniform and a date to report to my center.

There's so much to tell you, I'll be starting a thread about 22.4 contract soon.
In a nutshell, ups is aiming to curb a few hundred million in labor costs by forming the discount slave mule known as the 22.4
They expect the same exact optimal performance of seasoned drivers at 1/3 the pay and exactly zero the grievance protection or training.
Going into this job during this pandemic and constant record summer heat truly requires some soul searching. You will be left out to fail most likely and you will suffer every day until they either dq you or you make it and you become a good discount slave mule for them.
Insurance is a solid year away. Pension honestly in 2050 or 2060, ups wont exist I'd be surprised.
You live in the truck and sleep at home. You will need so much practice and training you simply wont get. Pester your sups to keep showing you methods on a route in real life, document if they refuse, tell union stewards everytime they dont.
Ask someone to show u tightening the handbrake. On hills double check everything.
Make sure this is your only best option.
Best of luck if it is.

I am in Integrad this week. Last week at HR they gave me a pair of pants and a shirt that they had in the office for me to wear this week. They also placed an order for belt, hat,shorts and etc. what I would like to know is when do I get it and how do I get it? I dont want to have to wear these same clothes all week and then probably again next week when I start my job

I finished my online classes this week . Now I have to go to the training facility tommorow for my driving test and recite my 5s and 10s and driver drill. I have my 5s memorized 100% and my 10s about 85-90%. Anyone have any tips I would need to help me pass tommorow . I’m also studying my pre trip routine also . Thanks in advance
always make sure your vehicle is in park and the handbrake is fully adjusted so it's tight
You didn't even start driving yet and you want vacation, during peak vacation time?
Unfortutely it’s a vacation I had planned last year and is paid in full. I don’t go I lose the $4500 I paid already with no refund
You can ask but I seriously doubt they will let you take that time off.
I had Integrad this week online. Tommorow I have to go to the facility for my test. Anyone here recently passed this? I’m looking for what tommorow might be like. I know I have to recite my 5s and 10s and I have that memorized but I would to know what else? They didn’t give much info to us except the 5s and 10s and to do a back up with the truck

These are cheap boots at walmart and very comfortable and a very good boot, very cheap! This is accepted at integrad. These dont really need a break in as it is an oiled and not a polished level. So if you biy these buy a shoe shone kit and make it shine.
Make sure your brown or black socks have no logo accept UPS if it does have a logo. Go to Ross and buy a package of black raloh lauren athletic socks.

I personally found that the boot doesn't matter to me as much as the insole. I use this insole from Timberland:
Timberland PRO® Anti-Fatigue Technology Insoles ...www.timberland.com › shop › timberland-pro-anti-fati...
They're about $40 and worth every penny. They last about a year and I take them in and out of every shoe or boot I wear.
