I did work there years ago and find it hard to believe any company the size of UPS would have employees that would go months without seeing a supervisor. I don't spend time like you do on their forum but unlike you, I have common sense and believe those drivers were pulling your chain.Okay Earl. By your own admission, you know nothing about UPS.
Oops. I meant to say THEIR supervisor. You are correctI did work there years ago and find it hard to believe any company the size of UPS would have employees that would go months without seeing a supervisor.

I have a package car driver as a neighbor on 1 side and a feeder driver on the other side. I bet both of them see a supervisor more than once every few months.
Once again, I believe you have a big S on your forehead. As in SUCKER.Oops. I meant to say THEIR supervisor. You are correct
Whatever makes you happy.Once again, I believe you have a big S on your forehead. As in SUCKER.
Ignore is your friend.Whatever makes you happy.
Yeah, it's the best thing I've done. Kinda funny watching the side conversation when they reply to him, though.Ignore is your friend.
Im not sure what ups you work at but, They can micromanage themselves straight to a harrassment grievance.There's always the element of fear when you're dealing with the unknown. I completely understand and have been in your shoes before too. But also consider you're considering going to UPS.......not "Jim's Trucking" or "Prime" or whatever else where a lot of things could go wrong. UPS is a super stable company with deep pockets. The only big downside to UPS is they try to micromanage you, but I'm not sure if it's that way with their semi drivers. But yes, there are pluses and minuses to every job. FedEx RTDs has pluses in that you don't work very hard and have a lot of down time. A minus is you don't get paid very high. You have to way it all out.
Well for the package car drivers.....they know how many times you've buckled and unbuckled your seatbelt and then compare that to how many stops you have and if it doesn't match up, you get in trouble. They have GPS on their trucks so if you scan a package before you're at the actual address, it shows up on some report. They also can tell if you've backed up your package car which is a huge no no. Yes, that kind of stuff is like harassment in my opinion, but it's all legal. So monitoring if you scanned a package before arriving at the actual delivery address is micromanagement. Oh and I don't work at UPS.Im not sure what ups you work at but, They can micromanage themselves straight to a harrassment grievance.
Depends on where you live and the cost of living, but new hire starting pay is $18.XX (for most cities) to around $23.XX (like if you live in San Francisco). Obviously you're not going to live very well in some place like San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, etc making $23 an hour. Then you're "supposed" to get about a $1 per hr raise per year. So after a decade, you should be from $28/hr (for most cities) to like $33 in places like San Diego.What's the pay range for RTD?
Limited OT? Not around here?Gotcha on the geographical aspect. Pay is low to start, limited OT, and 10 years to top out? That sucks. :-/
It's called telematics. You dont "get in trouble" for any of that. If they talked to me about 1 or 2 seat belt violations I would grieve them for harrassment before the meeting was over. Unless they are following you and witness you doing any violation in person. They cant talk to you about anything.Well for the package car drivers.....they know how many times you've buckled and unbuckled your seatbelt and then compare that to how many stops you have and if it doesn't match up, you get in trouble.
