UPS Hiring Guidelines

[retiredTxfeeder]

UPS doesn't hire only bulky guys to deliver; the job makes them that way. I've lost around 90 lbs since starting UPS and Ive gained a decent amount of muscle as well. Although I've seen some FAT pc drivers. I'm just wondering how much KFC they have to eat each night to maintain that weight when they have such a physical job.

It appears that this thread is taking an ugly turn toward feeder drivers.

C'mon, feeders is about as physically demanding as my job

Clean shaven except for a cheesy mustache. Some guys will get by for a day or so depending on how dark of a beard they have and if the sup wants to make an issue of it.

Varies by area. I shave 2 out of 7 days and no schitts are given.

It's about the guys that can't grow a decent looking beard. Just splotches of pubic-looking hair here and there. Now, if you're a runner up to the World's Most Interesting Man, you can probably get away with it for a while.

Isn't that one of those things that they can selectively discipline for though? Say you file a grievance and they write you up for not following appearance guidelines as retaliation. Better to just shave than risk it.

I ask this b/c I rarely see any slim guys delivering.

You're very observant. The majority of ups drivers are fat, along with being lazy.


lol

Did you lose some weight when you went on road?

Did you lose some weight when you went on road?

Yeah, a few pounds but it's mostly due to summer, drinking water and eating far less. But to the OP, I was just saying, you don't need to be "big"..in fact there are even drivers shorter and thinner (more frail) .

Most of my buildings fastest delivery drivers are thin and wirily. The drivers who carry an extra 50 lbs around their middle are the ones coming in after 7:00 PM every night.

It's not about what you eat after work as much as it is making bad decisions while you're on the road. It's super easy to run into a convenience store and grab a bag of chips and a soda. Repeat as unnecessary.

I would challenge that. I am admittedly overweight by 50 pounds and I am done every day between 5:15 and 6:00. I don't run but I am ridiculously efficient.

Yeah, I agree drinking water is a big part of it. Helps stop the addiction to sugar found in large quantities in most drinks. Losing weight is about 70 percent diet 30 percent exercise.

By "Diet", I hope you mean proper nutrition and not simply cutting calories or carbs.

 

[sailfish]

I usually don't see too many bulky drivers. Running this job will really keep you lean. Even particularly muscular ones aren't exactly huge or anything, at least at my center.

Correct. I mean eating natural meats, vegetables, fruits and nuts.
