[QUOTE="Fedup5829491, post: 1543650, member: 57540"] I worked there for almost 8 years. Since you have been there only a short amount of time I would highly recommend trying to get on with UPS. I wish I had done it 8 years ago. I planed on retiring at fedex but lost my job. If you plan on staying with the company I strongly encourage you to read the policy and procedure book. Not the thin book they give you when you get hired. Make sure you get the thick one to read up on when you have late freight days. For some reason we had to go through our manager to get access to it. Our station wasn't ran like it should be ran. We would find out the truth about overtime from older couriers. If you come in on your off day make sure you mark "day off" on your time card and select it in your powerpad. I can't tell you how many times i witnessed our boss telling new couriers that their overtime day is their sixth day of work. So if they failed to mark it on their time card then they usually shorted themselves on their overtime. Thats why I recommend you read the People manual. Always come in at your scheduled time. If they have late freight come in anyway but don't be a minute late or you can't clock in for the original start time. Make sure your get paid for your minimum ours too. If your coming in when scheduled and not leaving early without being forced to then they owe you that money. I pray your station isn't like the one I worked at. Make sure your keep a log book with dates and times and any witness of everything that happens. Anytime your manager does something you feel or know is against policy you should write it down. You may never need it but you have to cover your own butt. Don't think for one minute that they will go out of their way to save your job. When I left after almost 8 years I was only making 68 cents more an hour than a new hire. Thats why I highly recommend you try to get hired at UPS. Your raises at fedex will be just enough to keep you from reaching top out pay. I think top out pay is a little over $21 an hour. UPS starts their drivers at more than that. [/QUOTE]
