[QUOTE="driverhelper5, post: 3231511, member: 69852"] Hi everyone, I've been working as a driver helper for a week now. I'm a fresh college graduate starting a new job in January, and this seemed like a good way to fill the gap. The generous bonuses were also a plus. In the short time I've been with UPS I've learned A LOT about how this company really operates. I never would've imagined that those friendly UPS drivers you see driving around are treated so poorly by corporate. On Friday my driver (almost 3 decades with UPS) was nearly in tears because he was ordered to work Saturday, with very very late notice. I understand that UPS wants to maximize efficiency and production, but at this point I'm so annoyed with UPS it's not even funny. I guess it's hard to really understand what corporate greed looks like until you are living/working it yourself. Anyways, I just wanted to introduce myself. I hope to post more about my experience with UPS as time goes on (hell, maybe I'll even talk about my specific center come January). I worked with my driver all of last week and he seems to like me. I have found the culture among drivers to be pretty fascinating. Seniority goes a long ways, but has it's limits. I do have one question to ask: what do you guys do to reduce your odds of falling on slippery/steep driveways? I tried using the search function but couldn't find anything. I've been using hiking boots, but I still worry about falling on some of the steeper driveways. [/QUOTE]
