Make sure you have tarps hot liquids to drink I know in the south the last 2 weeks before Christmas I was delivering 190 stops per day but I was getting paid full-time wages as a so-called in the waiting in limbo full-time driver trying to obtain a waiver by the way drove golf carts in Florida three straight years two and a half months full-time wages
Even in person people are confused when I'm in uniform. I've had people tell me that my outfit makes me look like a UPS driver! I'll tap the logo on the shirt and say, that's because I am, and they still look at me like I'm lying to them.
Browns used to be cute. The shirts had darts at the waist and little pleats on the shoulder for women. Nice cotton pants. Now the shirts are plain and boxy and the seatbelt wears a. hole in the shoulder. The pants are weird and don't fit well. The uniforms sometimes turn purple or green now. I feel like a slob.
Code as break down on road then sit and get paid!
Typical Ups. No planning or training even though peak is the same time every year. HOW DOES THIS COMPANY STILL TURN A PROFIT!?
My supervisor couldn’t even log into that stupid phone yesterday morning. I had to clean up my golf cart route every day because the helper can’t find his way around. I don’t think he is a keeper.
Peak has started, I doubt Ups is letting go of any employees until peak is over. They think warm bodies in seats is better than nothing even though sometimes they do more harm than good.
do you get a normal helper along with the golf cart helper?
Yes, I get punished every year by dealing with two Helpers. I have been loaded up extra since mid-October to be the first driver to get one. My on-car Helper is a 57 year old Preloader with hearing aids. He isn’t fast, but he likes to work and shows up on time everyday.
i always tell my helper take your time we both get paid by the hour and your seasonal enjoy it while you can
