    Package Handler -> Driver Helper

    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...

    Article 41, Section 2(b) FT Progression Question

    - skip to bottom for question - I was a bid Air Driver part-time for about 5 years. One of the best jobs I've ever had. Evening pickups which were the same every day, no mental stress, virtually same variables every day, and I only worked about 20-23 hours per week so I could still actually...

    TCD to Full Time pay decrease

    I was hired as a Temporary Cover Driver. Drove before during and after peak. About 80 days total, 60 of those during keak. Myself, along with many of my TCD peers were recently moved to "Full Time" which is deceiving because we may only get 25 hrs per week. My pay went down from $29.68 to...

    Still peak?

    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.

    Driver helper

    No this isn't another dumb question like "will I be considered for a driver position" or anything like that......I'm sure I'll still get slammed the same as if it were a dumb question. But I just wanted to say thank you to the drivers out there that make this position fun and exciting. *bring on...

    What happens to UPS drivers that get tickets or get in accidents

    If the cops pull over a UPS driver for speeding or a driver gets in a car accident and crashes. Does the company pay for it or does the driver have to pay for it while getting fired.

    Driver/Driver teams

    Any other center doing this? Starting this week instead of using off the street/hub workers we are using drivers as helpers. For me it's the best thing ever. He not only knows the DIAD unlike most helpers, buy also knows my route. So we can destroy a bricked out truck like it's a 9.5...

    Heard it thru the grapevine...

    So in talking with a pretty savvy, seemingly pretty smart center manager, told me he believes the main purpose of Orion is so that if the union decides to strike again, they'll have the software in place to just hire off the streets for half of what they pay us, and then tell the union to take a...

    Headed to Intergrad

    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...

    New driver helper - not getting any calls from dispatch? Other issues..

    Hello all. I was hired at the end of November as a seasonal driver helper. I was hired immediately and attended the paid orientation. I am a very motivated worker and I feel that was reflected during my brief interview. I told the woman in HR that I am "Ready to bust my ass" for this job. She...
