Sweet diggity, I'm a twilight package handler. I start next Wednesday and want to do a good job so I can maybe be kept on p/t in the future, and also to try and make the driver's and other handlers lives a bit easier.
What do you wish someone had told you before you started this position? Also...

I'm a trainee and was sent to a completely different hub to help out during peak. The building is only 7 years young but it seems like they foolishly didn't make it large enough to handle the heavy volume.
Anyway, today they made a mirror route ( never heard of this before) that took of...
1 in the hospital after car and UPS truck crash
Hopefully this won't become a trend as the 70 hour rule goes into effect. The driver of the UPS truck was cited for carelessness and causing injury.
Alright, so there are tons of posts which I have read and re-read on here. Feel like I have some decent info, but really want feedback from others on my potential plan.
So I'm 33, I have been a desk jockey for 5 years. Pay is okay not great, health benefits are expensive, I work 8-4 M-friend...
Why USPS Says a Package Is Delivered When It Isn't
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...

UPS employees use fake addresses to scam thousands from company
This comes up about every 5 years.
The funny thing is....
It's usually a collaboration between hourly's and management.
Enjoy prison.
Okay guys I have unfortunately been on the Tuesday-Saturday schedule since my hub implemented Saturday ground back in may. Supervisor text me Sunday night about start time being 830 monday. Well with me not working a Monday in over 6 months I had no heads up to find a baby sitter in order to...
I've been perusing the forums for a while now and I keep reading that the P-sup position only seems worthwhile if you're IN college looking to get a degree. Here's the catch for me though: I already HAVE a BA in History. Which I can't find a job with so now I'm stuck here (and I hate wording it...
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...
Supervisor asked me to take pictures with my cell phone of every label that I deliver while I wait for them to bring me a battery. I really don't want to use my personal phone for this reason. Can I refuse, or is this a work-as-directed situation?
The way I see it,
1. UPS doesn't pay my phone...
I just started there about two weeks ago, I have not been told anything about rules. I work there part time as a package handler I love working there but have no one to explain the rules. Where can I find the rules for the package handler job? I have not attended any type of orientation and I...
Hi, I am a uninformed or misinformed employee and I have one concern.
I have hit my year in UPS and have gotten my benefit card and everything however, when I started I was told there was a one time raise every year of a dollar. The old contract being a raise every 6 months amounting to a...
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...
A couple of drivers at my Center were being harassed today about our ETA time, return to building time.
Without going into too much details here, I'm just curious what course of action should be taken. They preach about safety and all of this stuff day-to-day, but yet at times often completely...
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...
So i just started driving about 2 weeks ago and i have found that i can eat just fine during my breaks and maintain a good pace throughout the day, however managment was telling me that lunch is required but all my fellow drivers are saying otherwise. I had my supervisor approach me saying that...
So my card expires later this month, sup told me what urgent care place to go to and what not and said the paperwork i have to print is on upsers.com Well i went and dug around and the only thing i can find is OSHA respiratory exam, and once filled out it would be 16 pages to print out. Is this...
So I've come back to UPS after working at a grocery store for a year. Although instead of being a driver assistant for the peak season, I'm a PT package handler and my FT supervisor had approached me asking if I wanted to be a PT sup for the peak season to which I gladly said yes. So, the next...
