sup these would be just fine for integrad. Relaxed Fit: Segment - GarnetI also have to buy work boots and probably work sneakers. Anyone have suggestions on what to buy?
does anyone know where to find the most current 5s and 10 point commentary? HR gave me two papers with slightly different wording on each. is it on UPSers? thanks
Start, stop, 123, 4-6, 6-8, 8-12, unlucky six, lucky 7 gives you the green light, Eight E Establish, 9 left, 10 use 5-8 looking forward every 2.This is how I learned it:
Number 1 start:
When starting up at intersection look left right left and check your mirrors
2. Stop.
When stopped in traffic with one car length of space in front
3. Remember 123.
Count 1, 2, 3 before the vehicle ahead has begun to move before moving
4.
4 to 6 second following distance for speeds under 30, 6 to 8 for speeds over 30
5. Continues from the previous 8.
8 to 12 second eye lead time this is a depth in which my vision should be.
6. is an unlucky number, and it would be very unlucky if a parked car suddenly opened it’s driver side door just as you swiped by it. So:
Scan the steering wheels to park cars for signs of life
7. is a lucky number, and if you’re lucky you can make it through a green light in time.
Be aware of steel green lights and have a point ted decision
8. Eight, begins with E.
Establish Eye to Eye contact with motorist and pedestrians
9 is just random nine.
When pulling from the curb look over your left shoulder
10. goes back to 5,
Use of mirrors every 5 to 8 seconds looking forward every two.
I’ll answer that for youI meant to say I have a already paid vacation Trip coming up in August but now I start a new job at UPS I don’t know if they will let me take it off because I’m new and have no earned vacation time yet
always make sure your vehicle is in park and the handbrake is fully adjusted so it's tightI finished my online classes this week . Now I have to go to the training facility tommorow for my driving test and recite my 5s and 10s and driver drill. I have my 5s memorized 100% and my 10s about 85-90%. Anyone have any tips I would need to help me pass tommorow . I’m also studying my pre trip routine also . Thanks in advance

Hello,
Heading to Intergrad for drivers school. I've been with UPS as a package handler for 2 years but I'm only the second person in my building to be sent to Intergrad. I've read some posts on here about it but most seem to be several years old so I figured I'd start a new one.
I know it's a pretty intense course, my boss called it UPS Boot Camp. I've already been through real basic training so I'm not so concerned about the course intensity but more worried about getting booted for something stupid and preventable.
I'm heading to West Boylston, MA for school. Does anyone know if you use a manual transmission in the trucks there? I know the basics for driving stick but it's been 5 years since I've learned it and none of the trucks in my center have sticks so my bosses told me not to worry about it when I told them. I understand the process to operate a manual trans but I'm definitely rusty on it; I know I'm gonna grind the gears.
Footwear, most of the drivers in my center wear those cheap New Balance all black leather walking shoes that most fast food workers wear. I bought a pair but now I'm wondering if this an acceptable option for Intergrad? I'm sure I could polish them but they're definitely sneakers and not boots.
As for the uniform it needs to be clean and presentable with creases along the front of the pant legs and along the sleeve correct? I didn't get any shorts so I don't need to worry about wearing the UPS socks right? I know I need solid white or brown undershirts.
Any other tips or suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks
HF
I personally found that the boot doesn't matter to me as much as the insole. I use this insole from Timberland:
These are cheap boots at walmart and very comfortable and a very good boot, very cheap! This is accepted at integrad. These dont really need a break in as it is an oiled and not a polished level. So if you biy these buy a shoe shone kit and make it shine.
Make sure your brown or black socks have no logo accept UPS if it does have a logo. Go to Ross and buy a package of black raloh lauren athletic socks.
