My first couple days at UPS.

[upsbeernut]

Well I guess he isn't since I did it for 3 straight days this week. Which is fine with me because it's more $$ for me.

We are driver divas

Lol. No, I was reading a lot of bad reviews of people getting low hours and that's why I brought it up. Yeah, it's nice to have a day off but I rather be working and making $9 a hour you know. That's why I try to treat my driver good and work fast and efficiently so maybe he would give me more hours.

9 an hour to be a helper? No wonder ups cant keep em. It's 10.50 here. Heard in some areas it's 15, which is not much less than starting rate for a new full time driver.

 

[YoshiGreen]

When I applied 2 years back it was $9.50.... Now it's only $9. Hopefully I have a full time job next year so I won't have to do this again. I mean, I'm happy I'm making money but working in lousy weather sucks.

 

[TBH]

...and are really none of your concern....the driver will catch heat if you work beyond that number...

I respectfully disagree. I just cleared it with the helper coordinator on the first day. After that I had my helper from about 3:00 until I was done everyday. Never heard a word.

 

[TheNewKid]

I got 28 hours this week.

 

[You've Got Mail]

Yesterday I helped a driver with 6 or 7 bulk stops. I'd rather do 300 resi's every day than do that ever again. Emptying truck after truck after truck with no lunch break sucks. Worked from 9am to 7pm nonstop.

$15/hr in my area. 80% of starting driver pay.

15$hr for driver helper? Dang! Only $10.50 here...

Yeah and $14/hr for seasonal package handler. Only thing is, only hiring permanent PT for $10/hr.

 

[platinum9898]

That attracts quality workers for seasonal and permanent positions. I like that strategy.

 

[PT Car Washer]

I was thinking it sounds more like a bait and switch scam. Almost none of the December hires are going to be permanent.

 

[You've Got Mail]

But at least seasonal hires get to put UPS on their resumes, which helps to find jobs elsewhere, especially the drivers.

It shows you can hold down a PT job for four weeks. Gives seasonal drivers an in with FedEx.

Aren't you a seasonal driver?

Yea but they sometimes put me on as a helper, with driver pay. Not sure why.

 

[HardknocksUPSer]
