....does UPS say "uncle"?
When will this company tell the truth; that we can't maintain an infrastructure, fleet, and the staffing necessary to accommodate the ever increasing influx of volume for essentially 2 months of the year?

I’m still in my qualifying period. I’ve got the diad down, the stop car routine and all that down pretty well. My area and route knowledge is not too bad. The only thing bothering me is my damn knees. I always thought that when i got this opportunity, that i would run with it for 25 years and 4...
Forced six days. The union has failed us.
We still, as individuals, control the work.
Walk, don’t run. Hand trucks are for pushing, not pulling. If you need a strap to keep your packages in place, you are overloaded. Hell, you shouldn’t be using a strap to begin with. Utilize crosswalks and...

Here's Why USPS Says a Package Is Delivered When It Isn't
I'm glad that sort of thing does not happen here!
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...

It's usually a collaboration between hourly's and management.

My first stop every morning is the Post Office... I'm there every morning within 10 minutes of leaving the building... I back up to a dock, honking my horn while backing... get up against the dock, go around to the back of the truck, and ring the buzzer button on the wall... its a loud buzzer...
I want to eventually become a Ups package delivery driver. I've worked a couple seasons with UPS as a driver helper. I'm aware that you would typically have to start at an entry level position to work your way up to driver. I'm currently part of a different trades union but I am thinking of...
It may seem counter intuitive, and I live in a high tax state, but as a long term investor and retirement planner, I say screw the college students.

I was hired as a permanently PT package handler and work in Irregs inside the hub for day sort. Can I become a driver helper just during peak and then go back to PH?
Friend was called in to come to work next week. But not to much information was given. Told her to come in at 8am. She received a phone call a few weeks ago and she asked if she wanted to do driver helper and package handle and she said yes.
Curious to know about working two position.

I did my 4th day today as a driver helper. I did the route by myself on the golf cart. Let me ask you all something? The golf cart is stored in a shipping container, and unloading it and the little trailer isn't bad. What is bad though... is driving it back in. There is no ramp, so you have to...
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!
