Helpful Apps For Drivers

[JJinVA]

Are there any apps that you driver-veterans use to make your job easier? I use Glympse so I can let the air driver who is coming from the airport know where I am in real-time in relation to our meetup point for EAM handoffs. Any other useful apps you guys use?

 

[Poop Head]

Spotify premium

 

[Dumbperson]

Audible

 

[Richard Harrow]

Sirius XM for music.

Calculator for adding up my times and grievances.

Besides a good music app, Google and Google maps is a wonderful tool. Brown Cafe used to be an app but regardless, this site has tons of jewels that can increase the knowledge of a new or vet employee at UPS.

Two best things to have on your phone as a driver.

Your contract
UPS and UPS Freight Agreements, 2018 – 2023

And a time card app.

Everything else is just stuff to kill time.

Pornhub mobile app. Helps pass the time while waiting for the air driver to backtrack because he forgot to meet and grab my outgoing.

You don't get paid by the hour? Who cares when they show?

There’s no need for more apps. Many of the younger drivers already can’t seem to remember to make pickups or deliver commercial stops during their actual posted hours.No need for additional distractions.

I use the time card app called "Hours Tracker". It works really well and you can configure it to decimal so it matches the UPS time card viewer. The first thing I've learned at UPS is that you have to ALWAYS have to keep track of your money.

 

[Indecisi0n]

Grindr

I use Recap during Peak to keep track of my hours. Tells you what you have available, etc.
The rest of the year I don't work enough to need it.

OP DONT USE YOUR PHONE LET UPS USE THE DIAD FOR MESSAGES OR SET UP A MEET POINT IN ADVANCE

 

[What'dyabringmetoday???]

Just doing my job bro.

Thank you.

 

[Dr.Brownz]

Thank you.

Yeah wouldn't want new drivers to be advised of their rights. Better to let the company get free labor.

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

That is the AARP app.

America Association of Racist People?

One of the things I love about the job is that it’s a terrific excuse to ignore my phone all damn day....apps? Nah bra, Joe Rogan Podcasts on YouTube and sports radio

My personal opinion on using map apps on the job....it’s fine as long as you’re pulled over and studying, not relying on it to get around. Trust me when I tell you, it’s hard to learn a route when you use navigation all day
