question about possible future employment

[PT Car Washer]

For all of the 30 year + drivers who can't walk anymore?

No. UPS would simply dump a FT driver who can no longer perform.

You come on here asking the question of being hired after peak. UPS employees are giving you honest answers of what your chances will be with or without a bad knee, and you don't like them because it's not yes. What do you expect? Just blow smoke up your ass? BTW, how many Doug Heffernan avatars are there now?

 

[Turdferguson]

So what, is @HEFFERNAN the only who uses that avatar that's not a D*?

Poor @HEFFERNAN always has to defend his avatar from predators and copycats.

Just when you think you've seen it all...

Not a D* but got some sweet moves

I was expecting this. What took so long?

I get it. Some of you hate helpers.

They all hate bad helpers in person. Some of them don't like the seasonals here.

You signed up for a month long temporary job.....and then miss days. But you can hack the job? Okaaaay

The seasonals who think they know anything about working for ups because they rode in a package car and carried boxes to porches.

Shouldn't you be in bed?

This!

I can count the days I haven't been able to work over the last 30 years at UPS on one hand. And these guys can't work a few hours a day for a month! Who are these people?

 

[bleedinbrown58]

I wish! Start time is in 20 minutes....lol.

@FrigidFTSup uses knee pads I think.

I'm a Driver Helper

Here Is my situation: I had a bad knee before I even started the season as a helper (not my first) and for the past three days I told the helper coordinator I wasn't available to work because of it. I even went to a dr and was referred to an orthopedist. If I don't get called for the remainder of the season I understand because I said no to work.

I was wondering if I ever wanted to apply for a job with UPS after the holidays, would they even consider hiring me?

Get your knee straight first homeboy then worry about it later. Like they said, if you have knee problems now depending on severity then this job aint for you.

Actually many of the posts I see on BC and other places on the net gives me a better picture of what it is like to work at UPS more so than the driver helper job. I'll also add that I mentioned this on another thread. From here on out I consider this particular topic closed. No further discussion will be forth coming.

Much like the part timers who think they know anything about working for UPS because they have loaded boxes on to a package car.

Or off the street hire drivers who know nothing about preload? We could do this all day. Go give Rowdy his Christmas present and enjoy Christmas dinner at Pizza Hut alone.

 

[SCV good to go sir.]

OP, if your knee is in bad condition, this job is only going to make it worse.

Apply elsewhere please.

 

[DropDead]

For what it's worth, when I was working the drivers didn't have a problem with me and most even liked the way I worked as their helper.

Yes I missed days but never screwed over any driver to my knowledge.

And I'm sorry for acting like an internet tough guy and going at it with some of the members who replied.

Yes, UPS isn't for me and I realize I wouldn't survive there. @bleedinbrown58 is right

Preload---really tough stuff---read PAL, load accordingly.
