driving

On Tuesday, one of my on road sups followed me for an hour without me noticing. I pulled up to a stop and he was right outside my package car as soon as I stopped and he asked me where my helper was. I told him that as I was driving I had my helper in the back sorting because the truck was an...

Hi guys. I’m fairly new to this forum and UPS in general. I’ve just been completing training for package car driving and have worked at UPS for a total of about 6 months. So recently (Wed. 11/22) I got in a minor accident in which a gutter that was sticking out at a little coffee shop got...

Been a week since I qualified. I had ran 30 min or so under allowed every day since my 2nd week. I really like our supervisors and management at my Center. The drivers at our center have a generally positive attitude and are really helpful. Reading this site I never would have thought I...

It's that time of year again when the Union disappears and management gets to run wild. Those who have Saturday ground operations will know what I am talking about. I don't need any snarky remarks, save them please. I have a few simple questions. 1) Where in the contract does it state that we...

Hi, I am still in my packet, and have gotten word that I may be fired, because I have too much over allowance. I am about 3 weeks in, and have busted my butt, no lunch just stops and miles as fast as I can. Not sure what I can do to improve, other than better navigation to stops, but I am...

received one on Saturday. “You’ve only delivered 30 stops. You’re NOT NEW ANYMORE!” This was my 3rd Saturday on this blind route. So I drove around angry for the next 7 hours. That’s safe!

So I interviewed for seasonal package driver at Norwalk CT, and have a road test scheduled next week, which I'm good with. Near the end of the interview the HR rep says to me, oh and you have to do 5 days of training in Hartford. That's like a 2 1/2 hour drive. I thought traveling long distances...

Hey guys I’m currently working at Worldport 1DA and have been asked if I wanted to transfer over to Wing H shift. I was told that this was tug driving and things but I wanted to make sure that this is not false information. I also wanted to know if anyone is there, what time you typically leave...

Ran air to drivers today (I was requested to). I'm 19. Is this allowed or what because of the 21+ rule for drivers and "proposed" PVD drivers??? Just curious lol

I have this one supervisor at my work who I feel has had it out for me since the day I started working there. He isn't my immediate supervisor but he constantly threatens me with "Progressive Discipline" and just last week I had to sit down with the center manager, him and a union steward to...

Hi all, been working preload since the end of January at my local hub. I've wanted to become a driver, but they said I needed to be available every saturday, which is turdwaffle, because of the last two guys to pass Integrad, they've driven maybe twice in the past three months. Anyway, now...

I hit a dog that ran into the street. I stopped got out and talk to the lady. I had no idea I had to call it in as an accident. They terminated for not reporting an accident. I have a clean record with UPS. Is there anybody else that has been in my situation?

As the title says I'm a new package car driver and am about 5-6 days in my qualifying period. I'm wondering if the "scratch" number is a real achievable thing because last Friday i had all my deliveries done before lunch and got all my pickups done on time (slightly before the scheduled time...

I'm a reg temp driver and didn't work today so I'm sitting here sipping some coffee looking out my front picture window and up pulls the FT bid driver to deliver across the street. -pops bulkhead door -grabs small pkg off dash -jumps out drivers side door into traffic side leaving bulkhead door...

Any other center doing this? Starting this week instead of using off the street/hub workers we are using drivers as helpers. For me it's the best thing ever. He not only knows the DIAD unlike most helpers, buy also knows my route. So we can destroy a bricked out truck like it's a 9.5...

Our way out of date uniforms are ridiculous. Just stand next to a FedEx driver sometime. Look at his/her uniform, then look down at yours. Ridiculous!!! We look like polyester TURDS! Please don't reply and tell me to go work at FedEx then. I love UPS. And in this day and age, were still...

Hello, Heading to Intergrad for drivers school. I've been with UPS as a package handler for 2 years but I'm only the second person in my building to be sent to Intergrad. I've read some posts on here about it but most seem to be several years old so I figured I'd start a new one. I know it's a...

After many years of working with Drivers Helpers, I feel comfortable in sharing some observations. Patterns suggest we can group them into key groups. Of course, I'm not a psychologist, nor, do I play one on TV, however, having said that, here are my observations in no special order. The...

My Socal Hub has really been keeping guys on a short leash the last few weeks or so it would seem. I've heard of numerous firings for everything from mistakes, attendence, arguments, and so forth. The terminations have directly affected the areas i work in because i am finding myself being...
