So sad how misinformed you all are.
I know the national probably better than @542thruNthruand he sleeps next to the contact book
Didn't they do away with the 6 to 1 in the new contract?

Does anyone have package Handlers that go on road and delivery parcels? Also are there part time delivery positions available? Just trying to get a good idea of how it all works in case I’m offered a job. I’d like to get more than 20 hrs per week
Unless you have 22.4s

I’ve actually seen package delivery positions posted online on the ups site that DON’T say seasonal, they say full time so what are those for? I’ve applied for a couple of them and it said my information will be considered along with other applicants.
The place I’m going for the interview also had a driver position posted, I applied for both and got an interview invite for the handler, when I check my profile it still says active for the driver position, I’ll mention it to the HR rep and see what they say.If you become a PT loader they will not allow you to apply for a driving job. You'll have to follow seniority because you will not be considered a outside hire anymore.

Yeah that’s why I’m getting as much advice from you guys as I can before I go for the interview. I’m not trying to be arrogant but I’m in very good shape for my age and I feel like there’s a good chance I’ll be offered the position. Just want to get as much info as possible before I go so I’ll have some good questions to askGood luck. Just remember HR will lie to you. They need pre loaders bad. Probably more then they need drivers. They may tell you what you want to hear just to get you in the door.
9 monthsHow long is it before the insurance goes into effect? Also is a part timer eligible for the pension plan?
Haha probably right about that, FedEx is a show, and most of my co-workers were incredibly lazy. I don’t think most of them could handle working for UPSUPS would prefer you didn’t have Fedex experience
To many bad habits to undo

I think the work will be more physical but there’s absolutely no way UPS is more of a circus than Fedex. Example; UPS actually hires extra workers to get through peak season, FedEx does it with the same skeleton crew that they have year round. Hell they never even tried to get rental trucks for part timers until December and by time there were none left. It was as if peak caught them off guard every year.If you think Fedex is a show
You are in for a rude awakening

At least y’all hire people. We’d start having undelivered packages about a week before Christmas and it would just pile up, so we’d still be delivering Christmas packages up to a week after Christmas. This would happen EVERY peakWanna bet?
You've clearly never seen the seasonal hires over peak. Not a day under 60, not a pound under 260, and not an IQ point over 80.
We have a bunch of missed pieces today. 2 people working 23 cars. This Christmas is going to be nasty.At least y’all hire people.
