Drivers

[Teeitup]

In my hub we have a lot of employees who are going temp driving that have only worked at ups for a couple months when I started at ups 8 years ago this was unheard of. All the sorts are suffering especially preload because people are being hired and them are gone driving within a few months , it's a nightmare every day to go in and deal with the terrible loaded truck and misloads.

Are other hubs and centers dealing with the same thing?

There has been a couple of guys sent to driving school here also. I REALLY think this is a result of mess with Amazon deliveries last peak. I think in order to keep and get more business from competition UPS has agreed to show Amazon they will have the workforce to prevent another mess like peak of 2013.

It comes down to this..... You have to deal with so much daily harassment and supervisor bs and bust your balls for over 10 hours a day for pay you can make at a fast food joint this job is going downhill quick. Real friend'en quick. And you can't make good $ till you get top rate which is now longer and longer to get to stay in school kids!!!!!

I have a college degree in finance... got out of school mid recession. Their are no jobs. UPS saved my butt

Less Runnin, More Stunnin

My wife has a finance degree..... More than enough jobs she has her pick of them. They even have people who call her at her job to try to get her to come to their company. She sits in an air conditioned office, leaves at 4:30 , and makes more than ft drivers. You obviously went to a horrible school , or don't interview well. Why you would spend 10's of thousands of dollars on a degree and then subject yourself to this place on a daily basis is beyond me.

What is there to think about? Go for it and if driving is not something you want to do for the rest of your life just go back to the pre load.

Some guys would think working inside in January as a plus. Beats being outdoors driving in a blizzard in the dark looking for a number on a house.

This is true, and with drivers taking vacations and time off you can be just as busy as December. February and March the work could dry up.

It's not always that easy to go back to the preload.

I don't mind the weather. I'm in Georgia so not that bad.
