How many hours a day on average do UPS employees work on Peak season

[MajorArmedMan]

As a part time employee, do we get full time hours on peak season?. I heard from one of my co-workers hat on average we work 6 to 7 hours a day on average, then I heard someone say they once had to work 12 hours on peak season, but I'm not sure if he was in double shift. I'm only a part-time employee.

If you choose not to double shift you will probably get the 6-7 hours.

This is the ideal time for you to make a few extra bucks so if you are not working a second job you should definitely sign up to either double shift or driver helper.

For ever and ever.


And then a little more.







Run screaming while you still have a chance.

If you don't want extra time, you might end up working only extra hour or less per shift. I work nights, and my average last year was less than 4 hours

Even during Peak?

Other than the four days you did small sort, or international audits or whatever it was that you couldn't hack, what do you really know about local sort or preload?

The year I worked preload/porter, preload was often 9-10 hours at peak. Nobody was asked to work that long, they were expected to.


And, as a full-time employee, I got lots of 12-14 hour days.

Even during Peak?

Yes. The only overtime pay I got during last pick was for working on Friday after Thanksgiving.

7 to 10 hours of preload where I am.

And then management might beg you to be a driver helper afterward. Not as many outside hires are being fooled into lower rate driver helping given the improving economy.

It goes by seniority but sign up for extra preload hours and/or driver helper. I did that and peak for us starts next week. We shall see. I hope I get the extra hours cause I want to know more about the job and especially be with drivers as the helper and see the they have to deal with.

You can't handle two trucks without help, and you signed up for extra shifts?

Dang.

Work all you can. You could be laid off for awhile after Xmas.

In our center, you typically do 7 hours Tuesday-Friday and Monday(Sunday night into Monday morning) is a 9-10 hour shift as a preloader. Our reload team normally starts at 6 and works until 1 AM or so M-friend.

You trying to get a rise out of me? I'm new, I've said it a hundred times already. Those two trucks I have, I can handle very well. Its not my fault I got thrown on those trucks with so many irregs, nor is it my fault that THEY send me help. I don't ask or it. like I also keep saying, I'm prety damn good at my job just needed to get used to the extra volume that comes with these trucks. Nothing wrong with that.

 

[bleedinbrown58]

About 45 hours a week Mon-Friday. There's always extra shifts/work but they are optional.

Yes. That's typical around here. Majority of us are goofs.

Last peak I averaged about 6.5-7.5 hours. One day it was about 10.5, but for some reason they ran a good portion of Noonday's volume. So, being on the Midnight shift at the time, about 10:30 to around 5 am daily. That one long day, we ran until 9am.
