Graduated school feb 8. First three days at center, feb 27, 28, and March 1. March 6 was my 1st day alone on the 6 1/2 Route (did in 8 hrs) Ive not worked since March 6. Been told they had to finish safety rides by end of March for all regulars, supervisors backed up and busy. No time to train. I was told one casual who started week before me hasn’t worked and they have one graduating school that they are gonna have to make wait. Told by April should be able to get back on track. Lost drivers to feeders and retirement. Is my 30 days out of 60 working days still counting no matter what? It doesn’t reset right? Feb 27, my first day will stay and they can’t say oh, been a month or three weeks have to start over... just want to make sure there isn’t any loopholes I’m unware of so not screwed over. I was reassured still employed and still going to get me qualified but just still uneasy feeling. if I’m on own on route, the supervisors still spend that much time “training” if I should be getting an 8 hour day by self. I know they check tablets or computer to see how doing. I had a reminder call about an air saver for a business. Other than that no interaction throughout the day. Any insight from past experience would be helpful. Thank alot guys.
30 days dragging..

Even after you're aware of the loopholes, you'll still be screwed over. Welcome to UPS.
Hope this helps.

It sucks but we have all gone through it.
As long as I know I’m still employed and not getting the “okie doKe.” I can manage and “Weather the storm.” Just wanted some reassurance from all you seasoned vets who have been there, done that. Thanks again.

Find yourself a seasonal job with the caveat that UPS comes first.

Why do you have to wait until supervisors become available to start driving again? You went with a. Supervisor the first 3 days already and started going on your own after that .. am I missing something?

Did they feel that you still need to go out with a supervisor? Cuz after the the first 3 days you have to go out alone
I worked my fourth day alone. Haven’t worked since the fourth day. Thats what my initial statement was about. I don’t get why they can’t put me on road or how the stuff they need to catch up or complete by end of month has to do with my 30 days. Idk. Guess just have to keep riding it out.

I know people that are doing their 30 days , first 3 days are with a supervisor after that u are on your own and no supervisor need to be available unless. You messed up and they feel you need additional training ...

If I remember correctly The 8 hour day starts in the 8th or 9th day. It’s in ur training book they have to follow it and that when a supervisor have to go out with you again... u have to do. The 6.5 hour day a few more times 1st
That’s what I thought but my manager claimed my six in a half hour days counted with the supervisor even though did one six in a half hour day alone. Meaning that I’m good Noel do 8 hours day. Didn’t seem right to me

I got my 30 days in 30 days.... and I was targeted for management when I was pt. Back in the 90’s....then again when I was a new driver....
Did they say when you get a call back you get to drive alone again or with supervisor? What’s the xtra training for - did they say? If I were you I would speak to your union rep. It doesn’t seem right
