Ups driver/brown trucks

[burrheadd]

What about backing up

Don’t even say those words!!
That’s a big nono

Worse than what? I think you have that ground mentality Go For It!!

I’ve heard fed ex ground is a terrible company to work for plus they are contracted out not like fed ex express.

You have to back up in my facility if your truck needs to be unloaded by unloaders.

Even if they let you wear cutoffs and a wife beater

Easy Peezy

The first week you’ll have more miles in reverse than most that week driving forward. You got this

At first it’s a lot to manage and a little scary if your not completely engaged in your job. The advice given to me my first time in a 1000 was to steer the front and the truck will follow.
Good news is the newer truck is just like driving a car. Focus is key. Leave your phone in your bag and don’t be distracted. Two weeks you’ll be able to shake the nerves. Then it’s Cha Ching after thirty days.

Thanks

simple answer is be stupid for a little while and park outside/get someone to spot you for a year or so. Lots of us are getting a stupid accident inside the building, the goal is to not put yourself in such a narrow situation outside.

Just say to yourself that you will give it time. No one is an expert like @MyTripisCut at first.

Damn straight

Drive it a little bit and you’ll get used to it

That doesn't make sense.

What is my worries then? If driving the truck isn’t?

Walking and carrying a box at the same time.

Driving the package car is pretty easy. Seems big but easy to handle

What about backing up

Backing a package car is no more difficult than backing a sedan. Oddly enough, it can seem easier than backing a car, especially with some experience. The truck has a clear backup camera along with square corners that make backing barely a challenge. Even in between 2 other trucks with just an inch on each side.

Thanks . Also what exactly does a air driver do for ups ?

That’s why I do the driver helper each year so I get experience do that.
