Click here for our full Live Stream Shows! / tommybernhard
In this rant i explain why i hated working at UPS as a Driver. I started in 1995 as a preloader. I switched shifts a few times while waiting for a driver position to open up. In the years leading up to becoming a full time UPS driver, i worked also on the local sort, car wash and was a Saturday Air Driver. After approx 6 six years of part time work i gained enough seniority to become full time. This rant is one of many glimpses inside the reality of working for UPS. There is way more to it and also every building runs different. Some people love working for UPS and i totally understand that. I also use to love it until all of the crackdowns on telematics , orion system etc. Please check us out on my main channel if you want full live shows or more content.

LMAO! This has become total hilarity..it’s so polarizing how blatant it is by the differences in responses that the trolls that talk crap are the ones that have the most miserable lives in the world but are stuck..in debt..no way out..not smart enough to replace a terrible job..I have had the best laughs of my life at this thread..to the people to know and admit the reality..you are the ones capable of leaving and making more money with less hours..I did it..it’s very easy. I’m home every single day. I leave my family maybe 10 hours a week now working for myself and blow the UPS money out of the water..
You are pretty smart. Everybody doesn’t have the skills to run their own business. However, did making good $$$ for UPS put you in position to walk away? I saved a lot of $$$ being in medical sales and that made it easy to walk away and start my own business. But that can get you too,. My brother owns three athletic training facilities and he is lucky to be home by 9PM. Anyway, sounds like you found your path.
@@Biggdoom344 of course UPS helped! I never once said they didn’t pay good for a brainless job. There is a cost associated with it. The divorce rates, body damage, stress, time away from kids all wears on people. Now like I’ve said many times, every building is different. My building was a delivery building. The revenue was made on deliveries vs pickups. So they stomped out heads into the ground every day possible. Thanks for checking out the video and best wishes on your journey 🙏🏼
@@TheTommyBernhardPodcast oh yeah, I know. A good friend works for fedex and it took a major toll on his body. He started out loading planes, then delivery driver Pre GPS, then he got a job in a fedex store but took a huge pay cut because he messed up his knees, back, was getting hooked on pain killers. My son is a nurse and I know he doesn’t like it much. I just tell him…do what you gotta do to get to doing what you want. Great video though. Good luck to you.
Might not want to categorize all the UPS drivers into one group. If you are interested in comparing net worth, let me know. Just remember UPS stock is over $200/ share!!!!! 😉
I've went through homelessness they never cared about my situation now ups is the equivalent of the Illuminati how there targeting the youth and promising these kids opportunities and running them down to the ground I feel like ups is a big scam
I've missed a lot while driving for UPS. But I've also worked harder for a lot less. I'm grateful for this job and I am blessed to provide for my family with the pay and benefits they provide. But if we ever lose the union I'll be looking for another job
one thing I can say if you're not in person with your family you'll lose them, no master how much you think your taking care of them and they appreciate it they don't especially the wife....
Doesn't matter how much you're making when you're not with you're family. The reason they work everyone to the bone is because people just bend over and take it so they keep asking more
Facts
Brooooo, everything yu said is soo truuu! I complain about taking lunch at 5-6 everyday and the truck is the same mess everyday......
I actually wanted to be a ups driver because of the pay. But I found out how much they worked and automatically changed my mind. My personal time is very important to me. Also I heard you have to work in the warehouse to even be considered for a driver position.
I've been a ups driver for 5 years now. Everything he says is true. And yes you have to work inside the warehouse first. It was brutal. The reason why I'm still here is because of the pay. Every day, I think about quitting. Family is more important. Value of time is more important than anything. Ups doesn't care about you. It's all about pushing out numbers. This job only benifits you if you have no family and single.
Same here. The reason I changed my mind is this company works you to the second, so you have to be grinding every minute. 12 to 14 hours of hustling now that is exhausting. So here I am working for Sysco haha
It's definitely not for everyone.
Stop spreading false information I started driving at UPS off the street as long as u have your class C license your good and the hours can be a lil hectic sometimes but I love my job and the benifits and perks
@@geeside362 not lying I worked for ups as a seasonal worker and everyone I talked to said you have to start as a warehouse worker and have to put in a few yrs before even being considered for a driving position. Yes they do sometimes hire off the street for drivers but it's highly unlikely. Yes the benefits and pay are good but it's very time consuming.
I've been homeless bro I'd rather work for you UPS
Started as a 22.4 in May 2021 in Virginia. Start time is 9am. Drive out of the building by 9:15-9:30. On a good day I’ll get back no later than 6:30. On a rough day 7-8pm And that’s usually on Wednesday or Thursday. I enjoy it but it does take a lot out of me. On weekends I be just wanting to relax. I’m 26 with no kids and hard work doesn’t bother me. I’m gonna drive for 3-7 years and if I’m not feeder then I will get into management.
take advantage of it and bank as much pension and money as possible while you dont have kids. Nothing feels worse than watching your kids lives roll by from inside a UPS truck..best wishes!
It’s called sacrifice . You gotta be built different to work at ups .
We are hard mfs.
They hired me off the street as a driver full time, people who were in my class all got to go driving while I was stuck in the warehouse with my uniform at home collecting dust. Filed grievances, talked to different driving managers never seemed like I would get the job I always wanted to do. Horrible experience with this company.
Absolutely best decision of my life was quitting UPS for my current job. No mandatory overtime after an outrageous hours already put in, I work 7 to 3 Monday/Friday, as good benefits and weekends off.
Whatcha do now?
Nice! @Bear what do you do now?
You don’t get payed overtime?
I’m a RPCD and I love the job..it has its days and peak can be miserable but it’s a good job that pays well. Before UPS I worked delivering for foodservice companies, 4-5 days a week 10-16 hours a day, rolling 1500 cases a day off a ramp on a handtruck…that’s hard work..that job sucks
Haha I was a rural contractor postman in Australia. I worked for someone and I started work at 6am, sorted, stacked and loaded my car with parcels maybe 50 per day and on average 500 letters every day, from memory there was 2500-3000 delivery points and over 200km a day and I finished at 5pm-7.30pm every day. I’m glad I quit that shit.
Merry Christmas to all my Upsers’ !
Hang in there. I did it. Retired 4 years ago.
I quit the first week. Once I saw I started at 10am and came home at 7 or 8 plus mandatory 6 days I was like fuck that I got to see my daughter grow up.
I have to sacrifice to make sure my child doesn’t grow up homeless with me. It’s sad that I have to give up a lot of time with my kid I can only hope one day they understand
@@tenshi.kurama they’ll understand your priority was money. Idc if I have to work at Home Depot and collect food stamps. My kids are gonna have me there.
Wish I had that schedule
@@tenshi.kurama I hear u on all that but there is another way to have somewhat of both. It’s a shame for me because I liked the job but management ruined it.
@@nkyryry you know sum
All true. I don’t ever see my family during the year but for maybe an hour or so at night. During the holidays I’ll go 5 weeks straight of seeing my wife and daughter for 15 minutes in the morning before work. They’re long sleeping when I get home.
Unfortunately this has become a way of life working for any large corporation. I worked for a very large Corp. for 40 years. The first 30 weren’t too bad. The last 10 is when everyone started the micro-management crap. If you want to avoid it, better dream up your own thing.
I worked there 1973- 1989 nothings changed except a few details- after the founder,Jim Casey,retired in approximately 1977,the Co. changed dramatically!They colluded w/ Organized crime,Tony Provenzano,and Frank Fitzsimmons,stooge head of Teamsters and sold out the hourly workers FOREVER!Before that,it was a different place to work- a great place with respect for all- after replaced mgt. with cutthroat monsters who were tasked w/ sqeezing the very life out of a human body and soul to get max profit regardless of people or laws- and a bribed Teamster President sold us out to allow this via a " Sweetheart",worker- killing contract that we had to acvept- then was rule of 33% to accept contract!!Dead men walking!! Horrible work rules put in place, never to be reversed!!
I’m supposed to start Monday for feeder driver now not sure if it’s worth it. All the hoops to jump through and let you go in mid January.
If you do a good job they try to bring you back in June when they can hire again in my old building. If nothing else it’s a great resume builder. If you survive Peak you can do anything with any company in feeders. Good luck 🙏🏼
The regulars been working overtime EVERY week for a year there, and the USPS in general has a MAJOR shortage of workers.
It will never get better my friend. Enjoy the money while young and try to get out early while healthy is the best advice you will ever get! Keep us posted!
55 hours weeks are regs for meee
I just started as a USPS city carrier, and it's 10 hrs/day, 6 days per week. I don't know anyone there done at 1430.
They are rural. They get paid a flat days pay regardless of time finished. They come in sort the trays, load up and drive like maniacs. Not all are done early by any means. Just a few.
@@TommyBernhardPodcastHighlights you love making shit up lol
Out of saint louis , mo I worked as a driver for a 2 years
23 year old male fully capable and in shape. The job is taxing and demanding . But worst than that the job does want your life. They compensate you for the for the stress and destroy your work life balances. There is validity to this video.
They hire you , to harass you keep you in there graces and allow you to be compensated long enough to become comfortable with the wages now your stuck . Left after two years realized the stress and wages aren’t worth my youth and mental stability
P.s I was hired on off the street, never worked in the hub. There is no job culture that prepares you for what UPS is . Good pay ,yes good benefits ,yes
Terrible management, guaranteed
Harassment at all times, guaranteed
Healthy Work life balance, NONEXISTENT
(coming from 23 yr old male with no children)
He must didn't work there long even tho it gets busy sometimes, that's just as a 22-4.. once u get your time in , you eventually get assigned a route and they plan your route to be done in or about 8 hours....if you go over 8 hours, you begin getting paid DOUBLE TIME... 🤷🏾♂️. .. SO true enough u may have to buss your ass for about a year or 2 but its an investment for a better life .. it will eventually iron out to a regular work schedule like any other job once u become a Full-time driver with seniority
He said he drove 24 years so I think he's not 22.4
No one gets a route assigned we had too bid for jobs so what are you talking about?
Ok first of all. I WAS a 22.4. U don’t get assigned a route after 2 years it’s 3. Also, yes u get overtime if u go over. However if u go over they will be all over u and try telling them it’s too much. Busting ur ass is part of the job I don’t have a problem with that. I do have a problem with unrealistic expectations and then get questioned as if I’m stealing time because I’m working safely. As soon as I start I want to be done and they act as if I want to be in the truck. Every Monday, my day off I have been asked to work and I took most of those OT hours. So u know. The 22.4 contract was influenced by Amazon. Not the union. The union said to hire more full time drivers. Ups decided to hire u scabs at a less rate even though ur doing the same job. But ur right, just shut up and deal with it. Unbelievable
This guy doesn’t know anything only way its 8 hrs is if u sign up for 8 hr 3 times a month or go nonstop without stopping.. dbl time after 8? Lol ok
That all depends the availability in your center and around others
a ton of drivers at our station get off by 4/5pm. i work till 9 every night! its my life, i chose it, it didnt choose me!
It's not nearly as much money but I think I'm going to stick to my Amazon step van job. Guaranteed 10 hours if I finish early, no pickups, 3-day weekends. Yeah the pay benefits isn't great but at least I still have my sanity.
And no pension
Doubt.
Worked at amzon 4ish years
DLA8.
Not a pleasent experience
And no benefits?
And i could be fired because contractor has not the same safety/protections as a full time employee.
Trust me better to put in hard work
While you can to make a jump
For benefits and pension.
How many years to get invested in the pension?
He's right but he's also smart. He's getting a decent pension health benefits until he's 65 (Medicare) eligible. I've realized too you have to give your life to them. I'm PT ramp a driver of cargo ramp/hub. They don't care about your physical health. You must care about your health
I initially filled an app for a driver. That's when the switch and bait happened. The hours are hideous 10:30 pm until like 3-3:30 am. Imagine having a day job. The sleep is minimal. UPS it's has its pros/cons like any other company I can't be a slave to the free benefits anymore. You must be there 5 yrs to receive any type of pension. They pay is $19 for that shift. However the turn over rate is ridiculous
100% it’s only going to get worse. Family and health is much more impulsive👌
I had an interview with ups but I've been looking up videos about how much they work sometimes 6 days out the week. The pay would've been 28 dollars an hour starting but I don't know. I worked for Walmart at one of the warehouses and the pay and benefits were great but they worked us to death and the mandatory overtime was ridiculous. Since I was new they forced all the new people to come in for mandatory overtime. I have a feeling it will be the same with ups great pay but not worth it. I'll stick with my interview as a flight attendant over the ups
Damn 28 starting? For what position?
I work preload and am getting rdy to start driving. Youre not wrong about time. My biggest beef is they don't factor in pkg size. Shout out local 25
Everything he was saying is true, I left UPS because of that. They told us if you get hit in an way or form it’s your fault you weren’t following the methods.
the grass part.... supervisor was on the truck while on road delivery training... he was actually think as I parked was going to run over the grass but did not!
One of our drivers was t boned by a snowmobiler that blew a stop sign and it was deemed our driver's fault because he didn't stop and open his windows to listen for snowmobiles.
Are you serious?
@@recnepsleiht yup i believe that
Should of done feeder
Is this package car focused , or feeder as well.
Package car, I never drove feeders
@@TommyBernhardPodcastHighlights Thanks for the feed back.
I’m a driver and really on the side of quitting. Let me know what I should do . 29 and no kids
And here I am at Fedex Express working until 730 every night at $21 an hour. Definitely making the move to UPS and yes I have two girls under three.
I recently got fired from ups after working there for 13 years. I use to get in trouble all the time because I was trying to finish the route faster. My last stick was when my manager so me with a bag that I purchase on a route. I was pulled in the office two days prior because I sheeted a package wrong. They couldn’t Discipline me for that so they used my shopping bag as a result of my suspension. I admitted that I bought a shirt on my route while I was doing a pick up. They Use that as leverage to suspend me one’s again. I had to Go to arbitration were they made me look like I was the worst of the worst workers. That’s when I was terminated. I was devastated because my job was everything and it was it was all I knew. Ups pay and great benefits, but they put a lot of pressure and stress to you.
Would U advise me to quit ? I’m miss my free time and hate how they’re always on u if they’re not in car . I’m 29 no kids and have been thinking of leaving the job even if I lose the good pay
Mario, I understand what your talking about. You’re really have to put you life in perspective. People in other different professions also put a lot of time in. Ups cost me a lot, my body, my mind, my family. Ups broke me into piece. But if I didn’t get fired, I probably still be there. I say hang on, stay strong. Build up Seniority and pick the easiest route. Run it, don’t help anyone, go straight home. But be careful.
@@ThePtballa087 I’m on thin ice , had my first hit accident , been called in for apparently being rude to a customer, for supposedly smoking packages . Man I told myself I wouldn’t quit instead rather get fired but today when I thought I would get fired I felt a big relief like I was free but I was just given a warning letter and training on computer . I got take that feeling of relief into consideration right ?
@@ThePtballa087 I'm unsure of your statement, I don't think anybody could be a worse employee than me, at least that's how they make me feel. I like how they cringe when they see me, yet I run their numbers, only called in sick 3 days in 40 years, and used to care. Now I'm just a machine waiting for the next new supervisor to read hogwash from the manual without having a brain to look at what's going on. Every time one approaches me I turn on the video, it's saved me a few times from made up lies and favoritism. Gotta find the joy in the workplace where you can.
My son is a UPS driver and LOVES his job.
Just wait until until your rookie son eventually gets the rath
Lol nah he loves the MONEY honey
EVERYONE loves it for the first 5-10 years. It’s great paying job in most places. He will be crying before long when he realizes the reality.
@@TommyBernhardPodcastHighlights what’s the reality I need to make part 2
It depends how the facility is and the managers u have. If there both bad then it’s going to be a problem. If there not, that’s awesome.
110% i agree w everything you guys said!!!! I worked there for 15 years!!! Its a soul sucking miserable place to work for! I left UPS a broken man. Physically,Mentally and had a full blown drug addiction!!
I recently made union. I’m looking to leave ASAP. I just got rear ended by a dumbass and waiting to see what happens when I go in the next day. Somehow it will be my fault. This video is my life at the moment.
Soooo what happened man?
@@kiloxman117 the accident wasn’t my fault. I was surprised even though I was rear ended. I have left the company though. Not because of the accident but because of some managers. I was doing 170 stops a day and they were giving me shit because I was going over the allowed time. I can’t miss my kid grow up and get talked down to, one or the other can’t have both. Honestly after learning the 22.4 contract, I don’t want anything to do with ups. The union totally failed us. Can’t wait to see when these drivers start working Sunday and most aren’t even aware they don’t have 9-5 protection.
@@jnetty7321 i did my 25 and just imagine in 91 when i started driving. I came in as soon a they introduced the DIAD. So paper was still being used off and on. So we would do 170-200 apps on paper and DIAD. Things did get a little better after the 97 strike. As far as 9.5 lol i tell them in morning don't expect me making 9.5, I'm gonna have late air if i don't get help. Lol the trick is, well now idk, but then it was give them sh*t right back. As far as the union, lol they are crooks too. They wheel and deal with ups so i how these ups employees now don't fall for that bs. But i do have to say the union was better until i started seeing changes beginning around 02 -03.
I don’t work for UPS so I’m sure many that work there feel like him. However, I know people in all types of professions and if you make decent to great money, you’ll put in the work. Real Estate or Insurance..100% commission, long hours, weekends and nights. Stock broker, financial planner, same but worse because your income is based on one big thing you don’t control…financial markets. School teacher..dealing with budget cuts, belligerent kids and Karen’s all day. They get a lot of time off but need it. However until you have about ten years and a master’s degree under your belt, you’ll barely make above minimum wage. Fitness industry..as a manager 10 hour days, weekends, holidays and very high stress. As a former fitness manager, 60k is realistic but you’ll literally live at the gym, so do personal trainers that if you are booked out, plan on 12 hour days and you’ll barely make 50k. Work life balance is a theory. My first job was as a military officer. Up at 5AM and lucky to get home 12 hours later. Frequent deployments and potential combat missions create havoc on the family. Most NCOs have at least two marriages and I saw guys on wife 4 or 5. I probably made as a Lieutenant less than an Uber driver. You are also on 24 hour call. I did that for seven years. Thought things would get better as I moved up the ranks…it doesn’t. My next job was medical sales. Hard to get into, great $$$, but extremely high pressure, large territories that require frequent travel. I flew so much I can still name most of the airport tags..ORD…Chicago..lax..Los Angeles, MSY…New Orleans…you get the picture. To cope almost everyone has a Vice…gambling..eating…drinking..porn..and about 80% of the married ones have a Rocky ride at home. I quit because I was becoming an alcoholic. Literally going through a bottle of vodka a week. That wasn’t including the beer, bourbon and wine. The job consumes you. I left out I was becoming a pathological liar. I consistently made six figures but wasn’t happy. LE, you know the deal about being a cop or Any of the federal agencies..DEA, CIA, FBI, ICE. Those jobs divorce rate is like 80% and oh yeah, extremely dangerous. Forget having a life. So my point isn’t to contradict the message, my point is that most good jobs will suck the bone marrow out of you. I won’t bother going into hospitality industry, lawyers, doctors and even nurses who make great money, but there is a reason for the nursing shortage. They will work the s out of you..10-12 hour shifts and consistent exposure to all types of germs. Find the job you can manage and roll with it, but in most cases the grass is greener on the other side of the fence because when you get there, you discover they used more manure.
There is no question that I suffer from ptsd from this place, the way they treat us is absolutely disgusting... I've been in counseling for years now and I struggle every day I soon as I walk in the door here every day....
Get help please. Yes it may feel like you’re being bullied but maybe they just don’t know you. Be yourself in any job/career and people will respect you.
Seems to be the case everywhere in UPS.
As far as the ptsd uumm.... I'm not a professional but maybe i had that too. Now i did it for 25 yrs stayed hub then driver bid on feeder and did that for 4 yrs then went back to pkg car and finished there. The only advice i can give you is clock in do your work clock out go home. Don't get involved with the cookouts. awards and that union/ups bulls*hit. And you do know you can go see a dr of your choice right? Hit me up i will let you know what too do. On here of course.
Sorry to hear - from former driver- any chance u can learn trade on weekends ? Friend/ relative?
Get on social security disability insurance. ( S.S.D.I. ) for stress/anxiety/depression... that's what I did.....after almost 19yrs of an on & off harassment ,bullying affair....I haven't worked a full time job in almost 20yrs & my Life got so much Better!!
It’s different for every ups driver it’s not like this for everyone it just depends where you are
24 years... and quit, I understand the hard work but one stop at time.
You just quit ? Or retired ?
@DavidMFosterIII no i was saying 24 years and quit.. im going on 8 years
Wow, I see the feelings I am already having are being validated by your words. I am very new there, but am already not liking what I am seeing.
Which mailman is he talking about because when I'm driving back to the building after finishing my route at 7:30pm I still see some of those guys out there😂🤣
Lol right he needs to tell me what station that is so I can transfer over there because I’m working 60+ hours every week.
No like telematics?
dammmm well i started driving after my daughters were grown hopefully i have a different experience ive been a driver for a year and not driving everyday yet
The post office is the same if not worse i carried for 6 years and being finished at 2:30 isn't true. I've delivered Mail to houses past 10pm several times on top of it peak season(nov-jan) there isn't any penalty pay so everyone one is working past 10hrs unless medical restrictions
This is the total truth about UPS. Everybody has a different story but if you value personal time with your family and are not addicted to money this probably will not be the job for you. I was a full time driver for a number of years and the straw that broke the camels back was when they were on me about my times( we had one of the worst snow storms in years in 1993) and I was getting in late nights with no accidents and was told that I would have to make a decision between my job and my family. Many will not believe this but I don't care - it was so ridiculous for anybody to say that it made it too easy for me to just give them two weeks notice and leave but that is exactly what I did and would do it all over again if put to the test. I have never worked for anybody that just because they pay you big bucks it gives them the right to treat you like crap. If you truly want to be a UPS driver you are going to do it but don't get caught up in the job so much that don't allow for a life for yourself - you can't go back and get the time back. Best of luck to anyone that drives for them.
A big thumbs up for the clip... and a big thumbs down for the courier companies who treat their workers less as people, and more as numbers. If you get time, Tommy (and others), there's a great movie on this which you and other couriers will be able to relate to called 'Sorry We Missed You' (2019). You may recall I mentioned this in one of your lives a couple of weeks ago. Well worth the watch. Highlights the harsh reality faced by couriers, and the toll on their family etc. - this movie is based on the North East of England, but it's relatable to anyone who has worked in the courier business.
Look forward to your next live. (y)
I will definitely check it out John! Thanks for the reminder!
Facts
Ive dqed 4times as driver..and they wont give me a combo..and ive been there 16yrs and they wont pay me
It's like you're a slave, living to work instead of working to live. It's disgusting how much some people work and how little they pay as well
So you would of rather of been homeless then provide for yourself family. This dude mental is off. If you were homeless you still would of missed you child’s life growing up cause she would of been taken from you
I thinking same.... maybe PTSD
Think of it as a monkey money trap, you grab that fist of money they put in there and then you are stuck because you can't pull your hand out. It's up to you decide when to let go. I don't mind the long hours but it probably cost me dearly by not starting a family. I'm old, been there forever, still don't seem to mind it, but if I had a family then I'd be gone.
What I learned is even if your in union they only really fight hard for the veteran driver…drivers at the bottom of list they fight for but do what they can 🚩🚩
Anyone saying they work 30-40 hours a week doesn’t work a real center, is seasonal, or is a shuttle. What a fallacy. My limbs are broken everyday and it’s at least at 10 hr day. By two days in a row, my knees are in god awful pain.
I thought this guy was lying before I tried to be a driver now I realize he’s 100% right. Say goodbye to your life outside of work.
A lot of these morons aren’t smart enough to realize a few things. First and foremost every building and local union is run different. Our building is 2 hours from a hub. We didn’t start until 9am at the earliest. So just working a 9.5 day we punched out at 7:30 and home 8-8:15. Also UPS takes work off drivers they know cannot handle it and put it on drivers next them that won’t break. It’s a tough decision to get stuck on the money vs having a normal life. Best wishes on your decisions.
Hey I have a phone interview this week for UPS delivery driver position. What questions should I expect? Besides the weight lifting requirement of 75. I really want this job and I enjoy driving as well.
@@DanielRuiz-qk1dc how did it go
@@DanielRuiz-qk1dc I got hired as a Driver Package Driver 2 weeks ago ..1st week of the integrad course training and 2 days of road test and DIAD intro ..2nd week of 3 days on Driving the Package delivery with the Supervisor ..why with Supervisor? to train you on methods of safety/checking on your driving and methods of routes and using the DIAD ....what made me change different work? The money is there... changing if you wanna call it "career" working from "office job" for decades...and wanted to try something different being on my own... as those 3 days on road training.. as supervisor was there helping... worked atleast almost 10 hours all those 3 days half hour in the morning doesn't count on your paycheck meaning gotta be there 8:30 make sure all the packages are in all in order and gather next day air before you leave ...then punch in at 9.a.m. to leave from the facility ... you have to drop off the next day air first by and not over 10:30 ...then you're routine stops for drop offs and pickups scheduled! I couldn't imagine how it can be exausting and much more body aching by myself and it's not even on its peak yet! Therefore, starting at 9am to maybe 7, 8 to 10 pm clocking out is too much! I was already tired out of those 3 days with the "supervisor" helping me out!.. it is hard/tough labor ..not sure if I'll make it! End of day He mentioned I have 3 days to think I this job is for me! It's like when you're moving to your new home of all your belongings for one day driving your rental truck and be tired and sore for that day! but on daily basis... you get paid 20 minute break and 10 min. no pay... and you can take half hour w/o pay.. but then no breaks at all! con to that ? you're on a schedule for your drop off's and pick ups...Not sure about it now, I may go back on "office work" rather!
@@excessiveteam_com5387 @bada bling Hey guys I passed intergrad yesterday! Only 7 of us passed out of 14 others. I start delivering next week on Monday! I'm stoked but nervous at the same time.
What about the 3 months of paid vacation we get?
UPS sucks but I still work here I’m too stupid to quit
I work for usps and you always work sometimes 60 hours a week I've got kids and I know what you missing out on your kids life
I hated package as well.. it's not the job either its the managment team. Ups rewards the crap workers and cut runs to make the stock holders happy.
I'm in feeders now. It's way better but they are trying to package car our feeder department..
Lol slow down, take your breaks, file article 37, and it really isn't that bad.
All blue collar work is going to to require hours. I have friends in construction that work 80+ hours a week. Get a college degree if you don't want to work crazy overtime
lol right seems like some people just don't know their union rights
Yup that's the trick, everyday i took my hr lunch then 2 15 min breaks.
Your mailman finishes at 3? Lol that's rare. I work 12 hours 6 days a week.
This guy doesn’t know what he is talking about. I currently work for UPS as a driver and have been working for them for 22 years. Driver 13 years. They do a study on route., And I am home by 6 every night, and start at 9 every morning. This guy doesn’t want a 9 to 5 job.
This guy's is either lying about working there for 24 years and was a rookie and quit his job. Or got fired for some reason lol. Either way I know he's lazy AF
Every place is different. I know dudes who don’t get home till 11 o’clock
I’m a ups driver from menlo park ca I’m Literally looking for a different job there’s no life here I work from 8:00 am to 8 pm some days more mentally is braking me I need a change ASAP
I work at the San Bruno CA center are you a 22.4?
Cobraka no I’m not a 22.4 driver I’m a regular driver on a Monday to Friday
@@JesusOrtiz-qp1so my advice stick it out it gets better. Thats just my experience tho. Its really hard to find a job these days that would offer you 9 weeks vacation year, 9 sick days a year, practically free health care and a pension (free paychecks for life when you retire) now a days with any job.
Cobraka thanks for the advice. I know is a great job but at the moment I have to make a very hard decision because I have another great job offer with another company but I’m confused 🤷♂️ I don’t know what to do
@@JesusOrtiz-qp1so np bro weigh the pros and cons, and most importantly what makes you happier is the most important. Good luck with everything.
It’s called the 9.5 list. On it I worked 40-45 hours a week. Off it I work 55-60 hours a week . It’s up to you. And you don’t need 40 hours to hit overtime. UPS knows the job sucks. That’s why we earn what we do. And not only do we have Literally the #1 full coverage benefits, medical you name it. We don’t pay for it….. it’s not like they don’t make it worth your while!
Free health cover bc they know it will affect your health . Fuck that
@@mariomessiah8862 name a job that doesn’t.
I was ups driver for 25 yrs and yeah he is correct about everything
Actually he is not sir. This video is about 90% false.

@@stevanvelazquez2043 because i worked there for 25yrs and everything i heard was correct. So if i missed anything let me know, thank u sir 👍

Not buying from ups now too. Another on the list. Unions stand together.
I go home and play video games all day I rather be working. I love this job.
are you talking about a UPS truck driver or UPS local driver?
What was exposed? I didn’t catch it……maybe I missed it.
He is wrong about the post office though. We work 6 days a week 12 hour days.
Lol K
as a ups employee for 27 years, you just can't let the dishonest management take advantage of you. you gotta be good at playing the game. Im an expert, you gotta be as sorry as they are. you gotta be as dishonest as they are.
They're so obsessed with time... My truck started shaking like I was in an Earthquake and I couldn't get above 10 mph... I called my supervisor and they had me check the engine for loose coils and plugs ( which is fine because I wanted to avoid transferring 275 packages onto a new truck anyway) but nothing worked so they sent a new truck...but, they wanted me to actually try to deliver some stops while the other truck was coming... There was no way I was going to do that because I was on some country road with a 45mph speed limit... I declined and said told them the truth... I don't feel safe doing that, I said, and that worked... Because god forbid I get into an accident with some shaking truck going 10mph I'm sure it would be my fault and possibly my job... Just to get 5 to 10 stops off... Screw that
Plus, people are too impatient anymore today, so people would be trying to pass me on a two lane road... Say someone passes me onto oncoming traffic and gets hit... That's a lawsuit right there, and for what... So someone could get their Funkohead at 1030 instead of 1230!?... Sometimes I think the Supervisors need to 'Get the big picture ' and focus more on safety then time
@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind that is perfect, i throw safety in their face as much as I can. anytime they want me to do something unreasonable (stupid), i tell them I don't feel safe doing that.
@@ToxicAvengerCleanYourMind they can try to fire you over safety stuff, but can't touch you over time.
@@bigdaddyleroy1915 Thx, yeah... That's what all the drivers tell me because coming up on just a full year I'm still not the fastest although the routes I know I can scratch and sometimes can get to that 25-30 stops an hour in residential... It's just aggravating because the job is tough enough without having to feel like you're bad at the job on top of it all... It's amazing how as a cover driver you're expected to scratch the first time you do a route... Give me a week to learn everything and it's possible, but going in blind, Im way more focused on safety then speed
I actually used a sick day after back to back 12 hour days... Peak isn't far off so It's good to get ready for the longer days, but in the heat... I just feel depleted after those kind of days... More mentally then physically
"I would rather be homeless" 🤣 ok dude
I’m a UPS driver. Off everyday by 3:30p.m. Times have changed bro. Where were you driving at?
Orion is the best thing since sliced bread!!!
You earned a living working for ups for 24 years and you still bad mouth the company. If it was that bad why did you work there for so long? Ups isn't the only company that has its needed concerns from employees but you never mentioned ups pays almost 40 dollars an hour, you're receiving an pension monthly for your 24 years of service, free Healthcare, ups has a workers union that negotiates raises, fair treatment on the job, etc. Don't tear down a company that was there for you when needed a better life for yourself.
lmao ...don't dare! haha..if life was soooo good..people like yourself would be too busy enjoying it than to be trolling youtube videos to release your anger towards your terrible life...im sure your ex wife is much happier!
@@TommyBernhardPodcastHighlights I don't have a wife or kids. You're very immature to be an upser. Grow up.
@@TommyBernhardPodcastHighlights stop collecting your pension and health care than if you hate UPS that much🤷🏻♂️
Well that doesn't sound bitter at all lol
Dude once you get seniority you get setup on a good route and you are either Tues-Sat or Mon-Fri. Making that money, getting those benefits, with two whole days off? Its tough but its not that bad as you all are making it seem.
This guy is clueless. Being homeless sucks. Try taking a dump in a Home Depot bucket every morning. Taking a shower once a week at the YMCA. Eating food from the left over containers at McDonald’s. What he’s saying I want to get paid for doing nothing.
Y’all think being home very night is a chore because you work 5 days a week? Try flying and being in a hotel 5 days a week, worried on the last day if you will even get home. One delay in your scheduled working flights and your ride home is gone. All those pilots you see at the gate are trying to commute home space available. I don’t care if I work ten hours a day and could get to sleep in my own bed. Enjoy your twelve bucks an hour and don’t complain! The difference between a career person and a person who has a job is exactly this! I also don’t think resident doctors would have much sympathy for you!
like everything in this world someone else has it way worse always. A career is someone who is able to move up the ranks, a job is an hourly employee that depends on the company..
@@TommyBernhardPodcastHighlights disagree with career. A career is something you stay at for a long time reaping the benefits not moving up the ranks. I could work at company A for years, and don’t want to move up into management and am happy and become professional at my job. That is a career. Now my wife started at the bottom of the company she works at and now 30 years later is a director of the company. She made that company her career. I left my aviation career to finish off a career in UPS as a driver. Why? Home every night, money over 40 an hour in a few short years, free medical for the entire family even as a part timer. For the young people a pension. If you have your own business it’s much longer hours and normally 7 days a week.
Idk what you’re talking about man every postal worker on my route does 60 hours a week and gets a gang of overtime. I do between 45-55 hours depending on how much I feel like working lol
How much you feel like working? thats bs you work as much as they tell you to, unless your taking a day off weekly.
@@ummwhat6738 no, when you have a route you can dictate how your day goes. In my area you can file 9.5 & have a light day basically every day. I rarely work over 9.5 hours & when I want more hours I come in on Saturday for a 4 hour day.
@@doughboy5858 yup I agree in California we have the 9.5 rule too
Work more slave
Should have used that senority to go into feeder bro i have such a stress free life now ...i smile everyday in the AC my hands never get dirty and i have 9.10 hrs run everyday punch to punch ..
I would love to but they open the books for that every 15 years
Only complaints are you instantly gain 20 lbs but life much easier
Every job has its pros and cons. Ups is tough, but how many companies will make a 100% contribution to your health insurance? I don't know your situation, but seems to me your union stewards could have fought for you to get an 8 hr. at least 3 times a week based on your seniority. Didn't watch the whole video, I hope things are working for the better for you now.
Wow - I feel sorry for you, I have read posts of UPS drivers wining about their jobs, but you take the cake. You have no idea what you're talking about. I'm retired UPS with 38 yrs, mostly in management, and I just laugh at those that complain, all the while making the best wages of any del company, have the best benefits of ANY company, job security, opportunities for advancement, but you still cry like a baby. Good thing you got out, it saved the company from throwing you out.
That's what I was thinking! Talk about a whining cry baby lol. The job is easy and takes no brain power, you get paid 6 figures practically free health care and a PENSION!!! But he still crys about is job SMH
Working Condition are brutal
rip for the guys in the big hubs.....
lol I work in a big hub 12 years and currently thinking about leaving some things money cant buy pay is decent Aug. 1 raises kick in but peace of mind has no price started ups at 19 and now at 31 if i only knew profit over people only real ups vet's can understand SMH.
Ups is nearly Slave labor I worked as a unloader and the push up to the limit every day and paid us little money with small hours braking are backs don’t work there all the care about is pumping out numbers they care about the people that work there and most warehouse don’t have air conditioning
i work an average of 8.5 - 9.5 hours as a ups driver
You must be super quick. I been told by other drivers that they don’t get out till like 8-9pm
@@julianrodriguez9748 not really quick i just know my route and it also probably depends on what hub you're working otu of
@@z4ck709 oh ok. I ask cause I recently got hired with UPS as a combination driver. I’m a outside hire and now next week I do my class integrad training. They told me I had to memorize the 5’s and 10’s and tell them word for word. Sounds pretty tough to me.

Quit after 15 years and never been happier and making more 💰
Dude! Quit whining. I've been a UPS driver for 30 years and have 3 kids, did I miss out on some things? yes, but your the Man of the house, or your supposed to be. Your failing to mention to everyone the amount of vacation time UPS dirvers get, I get 9 weeks a year and since we start picking vactions in March by seniority, that means you could take one week a month up to November, not to mention you get 9 sick days, if you can't plan around that, I don't know what to say. where else are you going to find a job that pays six figures with only a high school diploma? Your blamming the company for trying to make money the smartest way possible? Wouldn't you if you had your own company? Good thing you quit, doesn't sound like it's a job you can handle.
Yea..good thing I was smart enough to leave to start my own company 😂 keep jamming gears and letting the neighbors spend more time with the wife and kids than you do ..your wife must be so happy that you treat her like it’s 1941 lol..”the man of the house” go back and find the piece of evolution you missed..
9 sick days? U get 2 option days wth you talking about??
@@JuanRomero-mw1bm what are u talking about? We do get 9 sick days.
Couldn't agree more brother. Dudes a lazy whining baby.
Apparently you work for different ups than i do lol congrats im in michigan we get 0 sick days n 2 option days..now u can call off here n there but your not paid for those days
Dude in class they tell what you are getting yourself into before you proceed
They also said there would be a gps in the vehicle and that ain’t true. At least where I worked.
They don’t tell u it’s 12 hour days .
They see everything believe me I know
It is exhausting... Wake up at 630... Get to the warehouse at 730-8 to sort your truck (which is unpaid) and work nonstop for 10-12 hours pending on the time of year/route/ and knowledge of the area... Im a cover driver and I never, ever can get a route done (scratch) the first several days of being put on a new route but they expect you to like you're Superman... Plus, the time for each stop is unrealistic because it doesn't take into account traffic, bulk stops, climbing stairs, a customer stopping to ask a question... Plus the new DIADs they just recently got suck and freeze up everyday, guaranteed... So for me to get my routes done I skip lunch (but still have to record one) and get there early to organize my truck ( because half the preload just don't care)... So all in all I'm working about 8 hours a week unpaid just to alleviate stress from my supervisors who are watching you with telematics everyday... They'll give you an area where driveways are 100 yards long and then get upset if you back up too much... So the next day you walk off a lot of the driveways, but guess what; the next you'll get told you took too long... I guess they expect you to teleport across driveways
I’ve said those exact words I would rather be homeless than work another 6 day week I missed my sons birthdays I’ve missed tee ball I’ve missed everything and when I ask for a day off or call in on a Saturday after working 55 hours mon-fri they try to fire me UPS is not a good company anymore they have become a tyrant we will repeat 1997 if it continues down this path
Worked for those pricks 73- 89- were good outfit until founder retired in 77- Union president Fitzsimmons was bribed for 79 contract and shit hit fan - they've had their way with labor since then- shameful in this country- u need to keep faith and save pennies - they are actually better than used to be!!!
UPS sux- like rest of delivery abusive companies!!!
Well, from what I can see, hear and read........this guy is definitely the minority.....he's entitled to his opinion, but the bottom line is this: Most Drivers make six figures and have a fantastic retirement!
Hey Tommy, how much is your pension check for the rest of your life?
if it is still there when i am of age to get it, about 3500 a month. I have 10 years left before i can collect.
There the worst humans on the planet, it's absolutely disgusting what they do to people...
Hahahaha like a mailman job? I’m a mailman and I work 60+ hours every week.
What is the best positions to have at UPS ?
Feeder Driver..Package car driver too..it can be a hard job but nothing like this is talking about
stop doing everything they ask. take your vacations and make sick days. ups is a good job
long mandatory hours - pee in truck, skip lunch,
UPS is a trash company srsly
Trippin bro
You get paid hourly so what's the problem you need to work to eat.
