route

Hello, This is my first post but I've been with UPS for eleven years, I seem to have a serious problem that I can't remedy myself and wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem. I keep getting rejected with the reasoning "Receipts are required to be itemized, have student name, be on...

I'm healthy, active, and would want to work until 67. I'm in the interview process now, and keeping an eye on the strike. Any comments?

Applied for a direct hire for package delivery driver off the website and have a scheduled interview for next week. Are they most likely hiring full time or part time? Some have said they will not hire anyone off the street as a direct to driver; is this true? Any other words of advice would...

I’m a new driver (less than 1 yr) I’ve been told multiple times by different sups that I was promoted as a “scratch” driver and I need to scratch EVERY day. And if I don’t it’s going to be a problem for me. I know I shouldn’t worry about their numbers but I really just want to stay off the radar...

Hey everybody, Could I get some advice on keeping my PPH up? I load feeders and periodically the sups will send someone (usually me) on the belt to unload package cars. Trying to figure out a way to keep my PPH from dropping when they send me over. I feel like I'm working at the same pace as...

If i am new and work out of the depo that’s in the town i live in, how common is it to get sent to another depo in a different city? or do routes that are very far from where you live?

Hey everyone, I'm new here and have searched countless forums on this position. My local ups posted a job for a M-friend 10am-3pm air package PT position. Can anybody give me a ballpark starting pay for this position? I'd really love to get my foot in the door with ups as I've worked for CDL delivery...

I turned 60 in December and on March 7th I will celebrate 39 years with this great company. Thanks to my recent divorce, I am looking forward to another 39 years of package fun. My question is - Should I go into feeders and ride it out or should I skip all the formalities and shoot myself now?

Hi y’all I have just won myself a package car route that I bid on 2 weeks ago. Now that February has begun they will start training a new person on my route. I was told by a union representative that I should have seniority over other utility drivers when I am bidding on routes. He said that I...

Please tell me why we load drivers down with over 10 hours worth of work, on a perfect day, when the weather is bad? We used to expand the routes and give the drivers the extra time we need to make service and clean the send agains up! Now we load every driver up with impossible loads and...

Anyone else seeing these on their routes? I see 5-10 on my route everyday.

Every route had 260+ stops with commercials. 2 of our drivers had 8hr days. 5 call ins. Personally can’t wait to see how many missed we can bring back lol

Let me start off by saying that I'm a fairly new driver. This is my second peak that I've been a part of. With that being said, it mind boggles me how a company of this satire can be so ran so poorly. It's like they don't even try when it comes to peak. Yet the boast about delivering boxes for...

Sorry this is long. My Steward doesnt know jack squat about anything Since i started working Saturdays in October every monday my supervisor has been...

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...

I have been working tues-sat for about 6 weeks now. Came in today to get some extra hours. The route that im covering is normally 120-160 stops and roughly 12 pickups on any given day. Today— 80 stops. Have you guys who started Saturday ground noticed a drop in Monday’s volume as well?

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!

Hey guys. Before I get started, please try not to slam me. I'm wanting to do the right thing and want advise from you guys. I was forced to run a satellite route 2 and 1/2 years ago. I drive approx 30 minutes to the sight where my truck is to load up. At first, I had decent weeks. A couple of...

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...
