Why is it a sign that you made it when you get a driving job at UPS?

[QUOTE="BrownChoice, post: 1201987, member: 49817"] Ahh. Yea, as for the gps, if i cant find a stop i just use my iPhone gps or google maps. Dont do it while driving, at least while on-car supes are with you lol. start times around here are around 9:00. Depends, on area you would be working at obviously. you will have to be rescreened for the specific UPS DOT card. Good for 2 years if no high blood pressure, diabetes, protein in blood etc. ups uses EDD. Which sometimes isnt your friend.... Depends on dispatch. I still work preload so when they do need me to deliver ground, i usually do garbage routes or bulk stops and resi's. Ive had 1 really stressful time since ive learned the diad.. They sent me out blind and the EDD was not in order. They had 2 people pull stops off me and i remember working 8.5 hours and was only able to deliver i think 55 stops because it was soooo messed up in board, not having any maps and phone died so no more gps(which i had to use for nearly every stop). All of this in addition to a non-power steering, hard-as-concrete clutch pedal..... Having to do 3 or 4 point turns in a simple cul de sac! Since then ive been able to do up to 100 stops in 3.5 hours...(running and gunning like a mad man). I think you should go for it. You will have a better chance than others because of your fedex experience. Impress them during peak season and you may very well find yourself with a career and being much much better off doing pretty much the exact thing you do now.. Good luck and i wish you the best.
