Please show me where I said anything about having to run scratch to qualify.
Did I ever say deliver off the clock? NO I did not. Sort truck on lunch if you have to and skip paid breaks. Do whatever you have to do to qualify. After that UPS cannot touch you as long as you aren't stealing or lying or assaulting co-workers.
It is insane to give a Multi-Billion Corporation an extra $54.00 everyday by working off the clock, and down right stupid to give them $108I will admit to coming in about an hour early to make sure my car is set up.
We have two drivers who come in at least 2 hours early.
You haven't demonstrated the ability to take a full lunch in your entire career.
Yet you are about to retire.
You are the last person to say a word about anything relating to performance or methods.
At my center we had to have 3 days of scratch in a row to qualify. Of course they waited until the last week to inform us. We all made it and we all did the 3rd day on a Saturday.Incorrect.

A lifetime of hell if you’re a pkg car driverSo in a few weeks I'll be quailifying.. what should I be expecting??

Career...funny, good one!Shouldn’t the advice be to set her up for a career. She won’t have a career if she doesn’t make it through the 30. Regardless of what we think of the profession, that isn’t the question asked. She wants to be a driver at UPS.
It’s very simple, during the 30 there’s some good advice here and do SAFELY what you need to do to get through. Come in early to make sure you are setup for the day, organize again through the day and stay organized. In my area you need to scratch before the 30 are up.
Once you get in then you can worry about working off the clock, it’s easy to berate others when you’re setup in this job, earning top rate. Listen to the Union advice once you actually have a secure position.
I've done it everyday for years (except 2 days a month when I have an 8 hour req in, then only a half hour)
What about your PAID breaks you have been giving away for 25 years? How much money did you give them back?
Career...funny, good one!
We get a 10 minute paid break and I normally spend mine sitting at one of my drop boxes.
