peak

My first peak season as a preloader is upon me. Can someone explain how OT works? I've heard it's based on weekly hours, and I've also heard it's based on daily hours.

I was wondering if management does not care for a person for personal reasons what are some loop holes that they can use to get him fired even though he comes in on time and does his job?

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?

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...

I have a friend who won box suite seats to our local pro basketball team game. Friend that want to go with claims that if they go - they would get in trouble with the company. Person who won the tickets states-how often in life are you going to win seats like this? If mangement had them -...

Lmao. Like I care. Guess I’ll be running out of hours Friday morning this peak. Not my problem. “If you know anyone that is interested, better get them to work with you this peak otherwise it will be 300-400stops a day by yourself” nah that’s OK. Your job is to hire. gotta love it. Like I’m...

Link: UPS CEO: Thanks to automation, we're shipping more packages with the same number of people "The upcoming holiday period is shaping up to be another record-breaking shipping season. In fact, United Parcel Service (UPS) forecasts 750 million packages will be delivered between Black Friday...

Hey everyone, I finally got hired at Ups a few months ago after FOREVER. I just recently reached the end of my probation period and I’m in the union. As peak comes up they’re hiring more and more people and everyone is talking about layoffs after peak. I was wondering, after peak is over do they...

I'm curious why (what should be a newly acquired feeder run) would then get a bid posted in our center as a TDP/Package car job. We've never had TDP jobs in our center yet they've been cutting Feeder runs left & right? Why would they not assign this new business to Feeders?

Can't wait when this time saving measure blows up in browns face when we have to waste precious DOT time doing follow ups when these packages go missing or get misdelivered. Let us professionals handle our business.

make your grievances and predictions here folks what past year will it most resemble? ez 2014 or balls heavy 2013 will it be a disaster or a success? what will that even mean for us? will texas and florida recovery efforts :censored: us?

What year did Peak Season become defined? Was it always Thanksgiving thru Christmas or did it start out as like 1 week and expand from there? When did no vacations during peak season come about? Were vacations always in weeks at a time? (Yes I know about single day vacations, but that's only...

Back again, I have yet to see this covered in the forums, and I've been itching to ask it. I know UPS hires seasonal driver helpers off the street, but can a current PH opt to be a driver helper during the peak season? Or do they only offer it to off the street hires so they don't have to...

Does ups normally still hire peak season PTsrs past January 15th 2017? Applying for a PH job and the acknowledgment is stating the position is only until or before January 31st 2018.

What are ways I can piss my preloader off? I mean he does everything possible to piss me off like: Misloads everyday No lip loading Puts 3000 in 6000 Over 70 on shelf with labels facing down/wall Just throws stuff in the middle Doesn't put bulk stops together The big kicker is when I show up in...

I just wanted to say I regret taking this position. My stress has continually skyrocketed along with my health deteriorating. I believe I even got carpal tunnel from operating this ridiculous computer system. I hope this job becomes automated because no one and I mean no one should work this...

So, i got hired in August for a part time package handler position and i have been working here and plan to work here for another year at least. My only concern is do they lay off like union employees too with the seasonal hires after peak. Until now, i had to call out 3 times for legitimate...

Hi all, I've just started as a Christmas temp driver for UPS and I'm told it is a crazy time of year...Can anyone tell me funny stories or give me tips on how to cope with it?

Just a rant. I get to work 20 - 40 minutes early everyday. Clerk saw me setting up the belt like she has many times and says "wish you guys would stop coming in early and working off the clock". I tried to explain that I was just setting up cause it helps me get ready to just start loading my...

...and its hilarious. Our center manager this morning was practically begging us to find peak season helpers. Our manager claims that they need 47 helpers, and that they only have 6 at the moment. Sucks when you try to pay people a pittance and then there's Amazon ready to pay you more to be...
