This Guy doesn't drive anymore lol

I just graduated intergrad this last Friday. Truly one of the best feelings walking out knowing I passed! I am just starting out as a seasonal, but I am going to bust my hump to try to get a permanent position.

Was recently offered a full time position after 8 years loading/unloading, love the video!

Just did a month as seasonal driver and I gotta say the hustle was addicting.

Expect to be the bottom of barrel.. late nights and call before coming in daily

I thank drivers like you from the warmest parts of my heart because this is helping me succeed with as much info as I can gather here! Keep up the good fight, brothers and sisters!

How do you get the 30% off at sketchers?

Been at ups for 4 years. Had my on the road test and did pretty good. (Seasonal driving position) sent a prayer to the boss man before hand and thanked him after.

Question, I’m a FedEx driver who just got hired to drive for UPS my starting date is October 6th, it’s not a seasonal position but I am skeptical of my hire date because I’ve heard mixed reviews that I could get laid off after peak anyway, I might not, the supervisor who did my road tests said I shouldn’t worry about layoffs I’ll be fine but a UPS driver in my FedEx route told me to not trust what supervisors say they’ll just tell you what you want to hear. And I’ve heard most have to do pre load before becoming a driver so should I be worried or is this position legit?

Cant you get fired for driving with earbuds in? Its against the law in some states

Great job great information. Thank you.

Bro, DOK is literally in every DMV manual in the country.

if you're part time looking to be full time. attendance will help a lot. u might even skip some ppl if you're known to be reliable. also make sure u know where you're at on the list. Never ever turn down an opportunity to drive unless you really have to. Never bring shit back to the building. also some other essential items: external battery charger. extra water(to splash on you for cooling, cleaning, etc), and a waist clip fan is a new one for me. works great.

I'm always finding this videos about what is like to be a Class C driver,What about a Class B driver? I know they got Class B trucks because I seen them on the road.

Very very very poor service. I have paid two times. One month delay, paid double. Very very very poor service in Italy.

I see UPS drivers using AirPods all the time. I'm not against it, but how are they allowed? I see people using them when they're driving and I feel like it's not safe. Feels unprofessional to have them in when speaking to customers too.

I’m starting out as a pre loader and plan on making this my last job with the hopes of getting my seniority up and being offered the package car driver position, I started out my delivery career with DHL delivery services right after I graduated high school worked for DHL for almost 7 years then had to give it up to take care of my Dad and ended up working for a few Amazon Dsp companies delivering Amazon packages then was offered a job making more at FedEx ground and worked there for almost 9 years until my company owner closed everything down with the company and retired now I’m here at UPS hoping to make it to a delivery position once again and stay with it until I’m able to retire, it’s going to be hard to adjust working in a warehouse but the end goal is worth it . Being a delivery driver is not an easy job at all but to me it’s life and all I know and only wish to be.

Funny, I was a seasonal driver in the early 80's, I still remember All Good Kids Like Milk. That is good training. If nothing else, I'm a better driver today than I would have been.

Dont EVER work off the clock! Management will take advantage of this. If you sort while you're on break, you might as well just walk into the managers office and ask for 30 more stops, cause thats exactly what they are going to do. Do the job correctly, and follow the methods ON THE CLOCK! Been driving for 20+ years. Its a MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT!

Thank you have much this

carry a walmart grocery bag to sht in

Im currently a loader/sorter/unloader at ups and im thinking of becoming a driver in the future. Is it a good idea?

Do I need to know how to drive a manual transmission? Also, do I need to work in the hub or can get hired off the street?

What is intergrad? I was working PT in the hub and went to the package centers and asked if they needed help. They gave me books, I taught myself to sheet, yep back when we used paper on clipboards. I ended up working almost everyday doing pickups and deliveries. Went ft and spent 3 years in package, then on to feeders which was my ultimate goal. I spent 41 years at UPS, 31 as a driver. Back when I started there was none of these safety rules etc. You just went out and did it. You either made it or didnt. Its all about how bad you want it.

Get a blue tooth speaker

are those trucks automatic or stick?

You mentioned going to help other drivers when you finish your own route. It goes both ways and sometimes they come help you out as well but will let you know when they are unhappy for having to help you.

Driver helper going down stairs without three points of contact ouch!!

You can always go on the 9 to 5 list, as long as you made book and are in the Union. You can also file a grievance, again... As long as you made book and are in the Union.

Earbuds are considered a safety hazard.

So…. You’re one of those drivers who go thru your load before starting time…. What a joker

What to expect? Long hours Hard work Mental pressure Time constraints Long hours Lack of respect Heavy demands Long hours Pushed to physical & mental limit Bad weather No excuses Long hours Little personal time Heavy work loads Time away from family Long hours

I’ve trained probably over 150 ups drivers, as a ups driver of 29 years, 35 years with the company. I’ve flipped a ups truck on its side and I’ve hurt myself 1 time in my career by tearing my posterior deltoid, I was back to work in 4 days, had I not worked out, I would have been off a minimum of 10 months. That is how important it is to workout

Awesome video very informative in guiding new ups drivers In surviving the job mentally and physically 2 things will guarantee you to be injury free or minimize your injury 1)Workout before the job 2) bringing a good healthy lunch everyday with enough water if u need elaboration text back 1) to get your body and mind calm before the chaos 2) what you put in comes out the same Put good stuff in your body your going to do a good job or if you put shitty stuff in your body your going to do a shitty job and hurt yourself

DO NOT GO THROUGH TRUCK PRIOR TO START TIME, DO NOT USE YOUR BREAK TO SORT THROUGH TRUCK. DO NOT WORK OFF THE CLOCK. 32 YEAR RETIREE..

I read on google, that for you to become a UPS driver you got to know how to drive a manual Transmission. Is that true?

It's a solid job for solid pay. I hate it when outsiders talk negative and stir the pot with "they are treated so badly" BS

feb 10 1986 was my first day at ups part time, i later went driving in 1989 I've been thru paper to diad they just made obsolete, most ive ever delivered 365 stops brought back 80 had 4 helpers for 2 hours each, from 8 am to 1230 am, yep u heard it back when we was on paper and before oscha and come in next day at 8 am, and start over-- I've seen it all - worked 74 hours one yr, 8 injuries and 15 surgery's I'm now 58 and loved every minute of it, i am also circle of honor 25 yrs safe driving

I wish the drivers in the town where I often go to would make themselves more visible when they are coming around their vehicles to cross the street. I don't know how many times I damn near crapped myself as a brown clad driver shot out into the street with packages piled up in their arms. I notice they are on some kind of time crunch. That need for speed in delivering.... Sigh! They must have their shenanigans down to a science as I haven't heard of any UPS drivers getting turned into hood ornaments these last few years! LOL!

Do not work during your breaks or lunch. Always line up ur truck and check for mislods on the clock!

I was a UPSer for 14 years. When I was part time I drove On-call Air on the weekends on top of my regular part time shift. As a full timer, I drove two different routes, swing driving, and package cars and box trucks. Driving I will admit is very physically demanding and I was able to stay fit. Mentally challenging, not even in the slightest once you get your route down, it's all second nature.The photo at 3:34 was a light day for me. I would normally stop long enough to go through my entire package car and line up every address on all shelves. I knew what I had to deliver before I delivered it. Misloads were common so I always got to my truck about 20 minutes early in the morning to sort through my stuff and put misloads on the belt.

That thing definitely isn't a car it's more like a bread truck.

Sort your truck during your break??? We aren’t supposed to work on the clock

Thank you.

This vid is great bro. Hood job

I go for my driving test tomorrow. I am going for seasonal package car driver. I just passed my DOT PE and my commercial license test. I just read that everybody fails the driving test the first time. I can’t fail, now I’m nervous about going tomorrow. HELP!!!!

Never did intergrad. Now 5 year driver.

no headphone while driving that's not safe

Brown noser

Yes the job is tough with long hours, but if you'll just stick it out the pay and benefits are great. With everything going up, and everyone headed for a major recession, a job that pays well is how you'll survive.
