    New IVIS

    Is anyone running/testing the new IVIS? I’ve seen it, played around with it, but it was a tester that was being shown to me. A couple of our tractors had the new mounts for the new IVIS installed in them, but no IVIS. They had to put tape over the red light on the dashboard because it’s so...

    How do these irregs pass through?

    How do we get pieces of farm equipment or propellers and fireplaces that weigh 150-200lbs but have 49 or 69 lb stickers? Why does management and safety ignore it and refuse to weigh? These things seem to pop up occasionally but peak has been ridiculous. I can easily do 200lbs myself but what's...

    Union Fight for Better Peak?

    For those of you who have had a bad peak being forced to work excessive hours do you think there is any hope of the Union fighting for less hours worked in the upcoming contract? This year is nothing short of ridiculous.

    Personal Vehicle Driver-checking in

    Got picked up for the season as a PVD. (Boooo!!! GTFO!!! SCAAAB!! <<< lol) Just to get some of that out of the way. I picked up the PVD gig to get my foot in the door with UPS. I originally applied for a seasonal driver position and was only offered PVD. I'd be glad to answer any...

    Benefits packet

    I was hired as seasonal driver and just received a second packet regarding benefits. Why would I get this? Is it just something they automatically mail out??

    At 36 am I too old?

    To start a career with UPS? I'd want to shoot for a driver position eventually and as I understand there is a long wait list. I've been reading on here that a lot of times people don't make driver until their 30s 40s or even later. So at 36, would I even have a chance? I believe I'm...

I recieved on the mail today a Teamster-UPS National 401(k) tax differed savings plan packet. I would assume this means that I will be kept...

    Center and driver helper question, on topic please

    Center and helper question. Five hours in the center, followed by 6 hours on a package car. HR is claiming they are two different jobs, therefore no OT.. They show up on the same paycheck though. Any thoughts, ideas, arguments before I file a grievance? Thanks in advance for any real thoughts…

    Want to be a driver. But had a accident.

    I had an accident today. My car is most likely total. I wasn't at fault. I have never been into an accident and have good driving record. I know Ups requires documentation of your driving record before you can drive for them. How much will this affect me?

    How are bonuses paid?

    I’m a seasonal driver helper and just got my first paycheck, but the $300 bonus was not on it. Does that come on a different check? Or do I need to kick someone’s ass?
