Ups driver

[Babagounj]

Having worked for UPS for 39 years ( 3 years retired ) I personally would not wish this job on an enemy. That being said you can expect to be screamed at every hour of everyday even if you did nothing wrong. And the person who is doing the screaming once had your job and couldn't handle it, so they joined the mgt team.

That's exactly what I think, when they ask for referrals

...Then you have impatient idiots on the road and occasionally bad customers.

You have to be mentally strong or you won't last.

This. If you can’t handle the general public, traffic and complete idiots on the road day in and day out. I’d find another line of work. Some people lose their damn minds when I have to block a narrow street for 45 seconds to make a delivery. I’ve been cussed at, threatened and even had one dude get out of his car to try to intimidate me into moving. It can get crazy if you’re in a large city, especially during rush hour traffic.

Do you guys have advice for people trying to become drivers? How is the job overall?

You build like a driver? Some of our gals could play linebacker.

At least 3 blowies a day.

Seriously ?

I see you're MN, you forgot to tell him about the -40° and below.

You can make 100k a year after 4 years.
Greatest job ever.
Chicks dig the Uniform....can get all the squish you want from women on your route.
All these guys on here whine and act like children....all while making fat stacks of cash

Seriously women too ? If u had a chance to go to Mta would u leave the job ?

If you like money, women and cocaine you’d love being a UPS driver.
