Mine probably says that now, with the new peak going into January.

I have never heard of being hired permanently but not getting on the payroll till months later...

Before this is over you are gonna see a lot of things you’ve never seen, heard or imagined

Good luck

Trailer,package car what’s the difference just throw the out or in that’s what I see on the preload

You’re already ahead of the curve

Why this job? at age 50

Here at least, if you look old and never try to work fast, they just put you on a piece of cake loop going out to the cattle farms.

530am -900 but could be earlier but usually not past 9

Could be early as 3:00 off-peak and as early as 12:00 during peak.
It does however always wrap at 9:00 (9:15 at the latest) because those sonofas will toss the last pieces in, slam the door down on your toes and drive off to deliver 15 wonderful pieces of air.

I have been hired for a Package Handler Job, Part Time, Perm. I have been through orientation and have been waiting for a call to start the job. It has been a month now. Anyone out there have any advice for me? Called HR a couple of weeks ago and was told I haven't been forgotten about.

ups jargon for that shift is preload

Hate to break it to you, until you start working you have no seniority yet.

Then, it takes a minimum of 30 days to gain seniority. Hopefully they hired

you as permanent, if not you are seasonal or vacation replacement.

How can you tell if you are a permanent hire rather than vacation or casual hire?
Thanks.

Most preload shifts are permanent because of the constant need for bodies for the grinder.

Get back to us after you've worked for a month, and tell us how you like it.

 

[Heavy Package]

Great pay, Love the hours

just walk up in there dressed for the part and tell them you're ready.

Here's 3 UPS preloaders ready for work. Just go to Goodwill and you're already overdressed.

I am aware of my capabilities...

I've climbed 55' poles...I've hauled 8/12' ladders alone!

How can you tell if you are a permanent hire rather than vacation or casual hire?
Thanks.

Because that's what I was hired for. Permanent pt

 

[LilHoodsie]

I'll keep you posted. Early hours, hard work, long days...done it all. Been up poles, in manholes pulling 1200 pair cable through, grueling work for 20 years of my 30 year career. You can't scare me away. Furthermore ...If I don't like it...Bye....!!!!!!
