See how easy that got in there.. A couple pushes and a little lube and it slips right in....This is how I feel on a daily basis.....

Those sups running toward the trains...."we gotta save those packages" then as the trains crash "ummm, let the damn things burn , friend it!!
No matter what that guy is like you gotta respect that he's been humping boxes for that long..Something like 42 years in
True, but they are too full of themselves to understand that... And the dollar an hour extra they might get to train a new feeder driver might bankrupt the company...Only UPS could overlook the fact that they already have the best trainers on staff and driving already. They're called Circle of Honor drivers.
If you get a spot in feeder as a on road sup, take it and run... Probably the best position to have out of any sup position in the company. You will have to go to Chicago for your training and the dropout rate is pretty high... You get to drive in Chicago traffic and they take you to a place where they have ice simulation driving to imitate what happens in a jackknife situation and how to try to correct it. You have to be able to pretrip a rig and trailer in a few minutes and almost have to memorize word for word a ups pretrip. Anyway if they have offered you a position you just hit the ups sup lottery.Hello everyone, so I'm thinking about becoming a Feeder Driver Trainer. any advise on the pros and cons of this job would be appreciated. i have 25 years experience and 5 in training and compliance in my previous job. and didn't know if their were anything i should know before making a decision regarding this career move.i know Drivers make more money so whats the upside?
Easy there Tiger!So, you train those fat slobs for what? To lose weight? Pass their DOT's?
Something tells me Inde already knows that.See how easy that got in there.. A couple pushes and a little lube and it slips right in....
That was one of my favorite annuals. 1:20 to get on area and back. He had some great stories. Guy is still a machine after 42 years.No matter what that guy is like you gotta respect that he's been humping boxes for that long..
That is what it's like in small package (obviously with a different vehicle). You need to be able to write down the DOK word for word. If you miss a comma or a period it is all wrong.You have to be able to pretrip a rig and trailer in a few minutes and almost have to memorize word for word a ups pretrip.
I've tried doing something similar in previous roles I held. You want to know the issue? None of the experienced drivers want to take on the responsibility even with extra pay. I would love to send a green driver with a 30 year guy. I know they can teach those guys things I can't, but getting guys to do it without straight up directing them is impossible.Only UPS could overlook the fact that they already have the best trainers on staff and driving already.

We tried to get the company to do this and they flat out said no.....what a total shame.I've tried doing something similar in previous roles I held. You want to know the issue?

May not have done many, but I've had some fun ones. Favorite one was probably going to a country club and shooting a few buckets of balls during lunch. I paid for lunch, he covered the balls and the clubs. One aspect I miss about Minnesota. So much more laid back than the east coast.One of your most favorites out of the 20 you have done in your career here??
In the relatively short time I've been here I've advocated for it. Great tool IMO. Plus, new guys are more relaxed when they are with another driver. They don't feel like they are constantly being evaluated. That's a good thing.We tried to get the company to do this and they flat out said no.....what a total shame.
That's total bs... Miss a comma..?!?!typical corporate bs and that is what's wrong with these companies ....That is what it's like in small package (obviously with a different vehicle). You need to be able to write down the DOK word for word. If you miss a comma or a period it is all wrong.
I'm just messing with you Michael ...May not have done many, but I've had some fun ones. Favorite one was probably going to a country club and shooting a few buckets of balls during lunch.

I'll never forget what my center manager said when had a Keter audit when I was preload sup. He was freaking out people wouldn't know their DOK. I told him "But they work safe and can demonstrate it." Simply looked at me and said "That's not what this audit is about."That's total bs...

I know you are. Just living the "glory days" with some of those guys. Fun group.I'm just messing with you Michael ...

Then it isn't about safety. Period.
