Everywhere. They hire them straight out of truck driving school.
They are even offering market rate adjustments so you are basically skipping the wage progression
If I go into management…

I know. I go to the rail yard and you never see the same people for more then 3 months. A few of the shifters who have been there 20+ but the rest of the faces are new every week.

Straight out of driving school? Well, there goes the safety rating. Look for Brown to be the next FedEx Ground in terms of accident rates.

It is because ups loves to keep new drivers on call or on layoff half the year. If they offered steady work to new hires they would attract the best.
You are funny
Your boss would never allow that

Again it may not be that dramatic. You would just be the one who has to tell the loaders with a straight face that it is possible to load 210 packages per hour while scanning every package and maintaining good load quality. Some supervisors are better than others anybody will tell you that. Like I said mine aren’t that bad. But when I need an advocate for the working man I still don’t go to them, I go to my steward.

Dear BrownCafe,
I, Misplaced, would like to apologize for creating this thread last night. I made a mistake. I was drunk and or wrong. I am a big giant snowflake that makes useless, non climactic posts on BC with no consistency or value. Please accept my apology. I would never go into management, as I am a sane individual of sound mind and judgement.
Fraternally,

No matter how "cool" and "hip" and you think you will be easy and fair.......UPS will not let you be those things.
In the end.....you are the enemy and will have to be that way.

And not for nothing, but what the
would either of you know with 2 months? Hell he’s not even union yet, until 6 months when he marks up. He’s not on a seniority roster and therefore cannot be laid off.

can or cannot?

He cannot, he’s a conductor trainee (CT). After six months then he’ll be a seniority employee, on a list with a seniority date. from which he can bid a job, get bumped off of one, be furloughed put out of service offered relocation from the top forced from the bottom etc.

He who laughs last didn't get it.

Around here on a major Interstate....there is at least once a week.....a rollover Fed -Ex Ground set. It is astonishing....
I will say though......I used to get passed by(blown by) FDXGRD every night....they have as a rule slowed down.
