new driver

Passed my 30 days last week. They forgot about me in a good way and I pretty much found out I passed once they gave me a uniform order slip lol. Just a follow up post from my original 30 day thread since we have some funny guys on here doubting me haha. Picture is proof that I’m not a seasonal.

Quick back story, I’m 22 years old and been with ups for 4+ years as a part-timer. Last month I got called last minute for RPCD and was put into class. After the 3 day online classes and 2 days in person I started my 30 days beginning 10/31. Since then I’ve been doing well I guess, started off...

I plan on applying for a seasonal driving position this coming peak. I have been with UPS on and off for about 8 months now (current college student working during breaks.) Is there anything I should know to become a driver or anything that can be a hinderance to getting into the position? I...

For context I only started almost a year ago so I'm fairly new. I've been getting called in to work my local sort (5:30pm-9:00pm) then sometimes preload (3AM-8:00AM). Somedays I drive 8am-6pm then be expected to MAYBE work preload 3am the next day. So im summary I have to stay available all day...

I just started progression three weeks ago. I haven’t made scratch once yet. I follow all the methods as closely as possible and I work as efficiently as I possibly can. My route, for the most part stays the same, however they’re always having me close out the UPS store, which easily adds...

Okay so I've been driving for UPS for about a year like most of our 22.4s, and believe me we got trained pretty damn well but lets say a house has 3 pieces, do we scan all at once then dr (taught this) or scan each piece and dr them individually? I did this yesterday out of curiosity and noticed...

Hey all: Have an opportunity to take a position as a feeder driver in NJ. Does anyone have any insight on what i can expect my start time and weekly schedule to be, and mainly will i be local? I can’t do multiple days away. Thanks in advance

First time poster here. My on road had me work in Santa Fe today and they ended up putting me in a rental. I passed my packet about two weeks ago as a TCD. The rental didn't have a back up camera and the area I made the mistake of pulling in to was tight, but that is no excuse and I just messed...

I was given a contingent offer 04/21/2021 ... passed my background and passed my road test today they didn’t say when I would have a DOT physical or give me any more information or type of time line, does anyone have any input?

Hey, I’ve been a package handler for a few years now and want to transfer to driver. I wanted to know the pros and cons. If you’ve been in the same situation as I am please let me know how that went. I know I’ll lose seniority but what are the other consequences? Thanks!

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...

I'm a cover driver and once the busy season is over how often will I get to drive after that? How often will I be put in the center? When does cover driving pick back up to where I can be working at least 3 days a week?

So I've been a cover driver for 3 months now and I'm struggling with package cars that are 160-170 stops with 360 packages. My time that I should be done is 6:20pm but even with help I dont get done till 7:30pm. I can get 120-140 stops done on time no problem but anything over that I struggle...

I just recently began driving for feeders. I have driven a handful of times and I don't have my seniority yet. Last night I forked my back box while attempting to couple. I contacted dispatch and was immediately told to unhook and return to my hub. I was then told to punch out and leave. I'm...

Recent graduate of integrad. Haven’t drove yet. Guy with more preload seniority set to graduate this week from integrad. Will he get to qualify before me or will my integrad graduation date supersede his. Thanks in advance

I'm wondering what the heck is going on. It's been just about 2.5 weeks since my roadtest/DOT and still nothing from HR. Is this the norm? I have left multiple messages, filled out all neccessary documents, but still nothing! Anybody have any idea what's up?

im waiting to be trained on a route. So they’ve been having me come in to drive AIR every morning. Today was my third day alone. All my AIRS have been on time. Today when i stopped at my first stop. I realized I forgot to scan DVIR. And put in my miles. I called me sup. And he was furious. He...

So I’m considering making the jump from a USPS driver to a UPS package driver. I went to the tour of the building and got the opportunity to speak to HR. To cut it short, I was told I’d be brought in as a temporary driver during peak season and then I’ll be transferred to the warehouse. This...

i am becoming a new driver. I went thru all the training ex. Interviews, dot , background, intergrad, now I just need to get the 30 day qualification complete however it will probably take me to late August or early September to get that done My hire date was may 31st 2018 Will I be under the...

Just a couple inquiries: 1) Our uniforms are extremely outdated & not made for the current task at hand. Anybody know of anticipated release of new driver uniforms? 2) Personal dress & appearance policy is a joke. Policies need to change with the times. I can maintain a clean professional...
