Forget military boot camp. Prepping for the busy holiday season is so much more intense!

UPS is bracing for the shopping craziness this year by assembling the soldiers — delivery drivers. The global shipping company has created a boot camp to train drivers to get them ready to deliver Santa’s gifts.

CNBC’s Frank Holland visited the Midtown UPS delivery center on Thursday, which is one of the busiest in the country, and over 600 trucks were about to hit the road to start distributing holiday packages and presents.

“The women and men you see in the brown trucks on the road, are literally the driving force for [UPS] to deliver millions of packages and generate billions in profit this holiday season,” he said.
