Not even close. It takes 4 or more years to master a trade. After 30 days, a UPS driver basically has learned everything except maybe a little area knowledge.
Not sure if that was true or not. Maybe if you count their MIP but they were also at the building 12 hours a day. Not sure what they did all day after the drivers left and before they came back.When I started the lowest paid supervisor had to make more than the highest paid driver
I guarantee you that's not the case anymore
They also have no pension and have to pay towards their health careNot sure if that was true or not. Maybe if you count their MIP but they were also at the building 12 hours a day. Not sure what they did all day after the drivers left and before they came back.
That is a recent development.They also have no pension and have to pay towards their health care
No it's been that way for quite a whileThat is a recent development.

“basically has learned everything”
Um you want to clean that up or clarify?
A lot of older FT sups are planning on leaving this year. Some are staying for Peak because UPS made them an offer they can't refuse.No it's been that way for quite a while
As a matter of fact anybody was in the management retired form after this year they were no longer be paying into it
And if I go in the spring they get the MIP bonusA lot of older FT sups are planning on leaving this year. Some are staying for Peak because UPS made them an offer they can't refuse.
OK. I'll clarify it.
Within the first 30 days, a driver learned
How to use the DIAD
How to enter/exit the package car
What the next stop is by using Orion
How to select the next package
How to safely deliver that package
How to do pickups
How to load those pickups into the package car
How to drive safely
Am I missing anything? Maybe over the next several months they may pick up a little speed delivering, but there is not much else to learn or practice. Maybe area knowledge. We drive a truck and deliver cardboard. Sometimes long hours and sometimes in the heat of the summer.
Why couldn’t someone learn those jobs? The people that went into those trades were not the brightest kids I went to school with.True, and I think you see my point. Anyone can be a UPS driver. Not everyone can be an electrician, plumber, etc. They need a very special skillset. We don't. We just have long hours and harassment. But we make over $40/hr at full rate.
Because preload sucks assWell if it is so easy doing our job and earning $100k+ why is it so difficult for people to sign up and actually become package car drivers? We make less than other trades who have 4 year journeyman programs like electricians, plumbers or sheet metal workers. They can say all they want about how much we earn it’s not easy and not glamorous. Peak, rain, snow, heat yeah it’s really easy work.
I agree. And will be replaced by $20/hr 22.4 delivery drivers. Once UPS and the Teamster opened the door on a two tier wage delivery driver classification, it will never close. Just expanded.And if I go in the spring they get the MIP bonus
And I think next year after contract you're going to see a lot of hours leave also
Perhaps it won’t close, but it will not expand, although I think you may underestimate the companies satisfaction with 22.4. They may well want it gone.I agree.

And bring back the $40/hr PT preloader. Give me a break.Perhaps it won’t close, but it will not expand, although I think you may underestimate the companies satisfaction with 22.4. They may well want it gone.
$40 an hour PT Preload? Doubtful, never said that. They will definitely be making over 20. Most likely around 21 to start with a raise every year for five years of the contractAnd bring back the $40/hr PT preloader. Give me a break.
