@@itsniiikki I’m have too get fedex too jump ups 🤣im autistic with epilepsy running 🏃 across town with blue epileptic bracelet the ups drivers knows my route and stops to see me do push ups and pull ups 🤦♀️
those neighborhoods are the worst when it nighttime
That looked super light, love to see that kinda although not often, love the energy!
I work for UPS as well and I’ve never seen a truck so light. This is not a typical day for a driver for anyone watching this. Salute to ya tho it’s always great seeing more of us in UPS💪🏾
Yea it was a really light day, I’m not even use to seeing it like this. But also not all routes are as heavy as others . Of course 👏🏾👏🏾
This is what the country routes in my building look like lol we have a dude that does 9 stops an hour out there I can only dream of that route
@@boogieman8973 I wish lol I’m at 30/hr
I don't understand how tiny women like this do this job. I have to manhandle stuff an I'm 6'1 190lbs lol

Looking forward to experiencing this as a seasonal delivery driver for ups seems like every video I watched people seem to really enjoy it
The pay makes it worth it!!!!
Good morning, dedication, confidence and inspiration for any job you take pride in doing. Trust me it is well recognized and very much appreciated by the customers to know you are delivering amazing service and enjoying it. Keep up the amazing job you do daily….. Ups should be lucky to have great individuals like yourself who delivers great care, and services to the public in Toronto…..
Aw thank you so much I really appreciate that 💕
You don’t keep bulk stops in the back?
Hey girl that's your day. Loving it my daughter.
Im also a ups driver. That truck is super light on deliveries. But it’s always good to have a light day. Drive safe everyone
hello man , may you help me something?
Sure
Wow, intersting video. I drove for UPS when they were no DIADS, we used paper delivery records, hated that, lol . Ink pens would freeze up in cold weather, we had to accept cash for C.O.D.'s. Some drivers were coming back to the building with thousands of dollars in cash that had to be put in a safe. Stay safe out there, Im proud of you!!!
I think we shouldn’t deal with COD
they dont take cash no more thank god lol
"The Disrespect" when the FedEx truck drove by 😂😭💀
I have a road test scheduled today so this dope to view your daily life on the job.
My guy don’t do it unless you want NO LIFE 😭
@Crescent nah family over a job thatll replace you in a second, I'm a UPS driver rn and its absolute trash literally no life
Why would you want to enjoy your life later with a bad back and can barely walk lmao.
@@JeffRogers99 *bad back after having both knees replaced
Lol all you have to do is take care of your body … lol it’s not that serious .
DUMB! Lool the ones when you did a little dance coming back to the truck 😂😂I enjoyed this!!
😂😂😂 thank you !
I just got hired as a driver and they're giving me a choice of the Brampton or Caledon location. Which one do you think I should take? Which location do you work at?
Thank you for this video. I needed to see a this video to know what it’s like as a UPS delivery driver. 😊👍
Thank you for this video I am starting my first day as a package handler on the 1st and hoping I can get to be a driver within the 6 months!
Also do you have some good advice?
how’s it going???
@@lindalouelizabeth he quit
@@ImTheDirtySecret lol
@@Rayyy.xv3 apply directly to be a driver
Damn Nikki! You lookin fine out there!
I also work a UPS. I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go! ❤️
Thanks for the great video Nikki, I do have a couple of questions - I'm thinking of applying for the position: do you launder and press your own uniforms and do the vans have a navigation system are you allowed to use your own if not? thanks again Nikki.
Thank you ! Yes we are responsible for our own uniforms , no the trucks/vans do not have a navigation system but you are allowed to use your own
Yes sir, you hand your dirty uniforms to the manager when you finish on Friday they wash and iron them for you and bring them to you Monday morning! You can ask them to give you a bath also! They would even cut your nails 💅?!!! 🤥 😂
I wish Amazon dsp gave use branded gear like UPS. #lifeofastepvandriver. Great vid.
How long did you have to train? How much were you paid during training?
My truck is 3 times bigger and loaded from floor to ceiling... I've never seen a truck so light...I'm jealous
I'm a USPS carrier. So I naturally feel bad for what u guys deal with. But, this route is a joke. This is nothing. I did more than this last Sunday. We get pounded hard....with no end in sight. It's only getting worse. UPS drives around. We have to walk all day in 5 degree below zero wind chills. I still think UPS has it worse.
I’m a mail carrier for USPS, I have a phone interview tomorrow with UPS. This video was very helpful
How did it go. I thought the waitlist to be a ups driver was years
I’ve been working in the warehouse as a loader for nine months. I start driving school next week.
You looking great doing this I bet it's not easy at times
that truck light...I wished I had that I prob wouldve stayed longer, cuz they had me doing 170-200 stops with 30 pickups my first week...non peak... lol
Is there ever a package that is just too heavy to carry? What would you do?
I see the walking getting slower as the day ends …it ain’t easy 😂
I work at UPS too and have never seen a truck as empty as that, that's crazy 🤣
Hi there, I’m thinking about becoming a driver b/c I was told after four it becomes worth it compensation wise. Starting off at first would you say it was a hard job and how long on average would you say it will take to get your own truck and route.
It can take 5 years to get a route, in NY I knew guys that took a minimum of 2 years to get a route. When you start your basically a slave your getting everyone who is out their routes, so if your lucky Maybe you will be in the same area. Once you get your own route it’s nice tho you can plan your day accordingly. I loved working at Ups I quit for a better opportunity in a better union more pay and less hours. Around Christmas you won’t see your family lol
20 an hour is fine. This is an apprenticeship approach. USPS takes over 10 years to get top pay!!!! UPS does that in 4 years.
Young lady I dont even know you but im proud of you like im ya mama. 💯
Thank you ! 💕
cute truck i always get jealous when i see the UPS drive the same truck in my area and i’m dying trying to turn my truck around on every dead ends.
Loool trust me I know your pain 😂
Great video! What part of CA? I’m a FedEx driver in northern NY just south of Quebec. I drive to the border every day
The Teamsters Union with UPS has much more power now in their negotiations because since the pandemic more and more people are making their purchases online which requires parcel delivery.
your a hard working woman with a cute personality you have a bright future boo
Aw thank you I appreciate it ! 🥺💕
Hey lady pray u well, been trying to get with them for awhile now. I applied for the feeder position and got to take their test but honestly I wana do just box truck. Could you see yourself retiring at ups?
Are the short trucks easier to drive than the long ones?
Yea they are
For the road test, was the UPS truck manual or automatic? & if it was manual did you already have to know how to drive manual or did they teach you?
Automatic , they don’t do manual where I am to my knowledge
I currently work for ups over here in maspeth ny. Been here for 2 years and plan on continuing. I love that ups pullover! We don't get a lot of uniform here in my center. Girl do you have an extra one? Are you able to get more? Obviously I'll pay for everything. I have two jackets and thats it. I need that for when it gets a bit warmer. But again please, let me know. I hope you see this!
Right !? Thought I was the only one! I’m a 22.4 driver and I haven’t seen anyone with that pullover. Definitely need one of those! Will pay whatever.
Unfortunately I don’t have another one , believe it or not they’re actually very hard to get at my center as well and those pullovers are old so I don’t think they’re gonna be ordering anymore but I can look into it for both of you !
I’m in the northeast and I don’t even have shorts yet lol
Any update ? 😂
Looks like some high end houses maybe the Bridal path area?
Great Job! Your doing awesome, Only been there a year with no experience coming in, How did you get a full time position right off bat? I applied a week ago and they called me for a road test this Friday but there telling me it’s seasonal and will end Jan 15th. I’m hoping I can just stay aboard! Is the road test hard?
Thank you !!! I actually started off as a PVD it took about 5-6 months for me to actually transition into a full time driver . They do say it’s seasonal but if you can pull through the 90 days and still show interest in working they will most definitely keep you around .
That’s awesome. Now you been there a year with a full time job in the union, Such a great job! Coming in with no experience is the road test hard on the package car? Do they have automatic package cars?
@@michaelcemach8726 Is the Road-Test prior to Integrad? How long was the Road-Test?
I heard the waitlist in SD California is 3 years, ppl can get this job off the bat??
@@jaleesa00 yeah, UPS hires drivers off the street at (I think) a 6-to-1 rate, where 6 warehouse workers waiting on the list to become a driver will be transferred up to the position for every 1 new driver off the street. I’m in Ocean County NJ and the wait list to transfer up to driver is at around 1.5 years
Ayye lil micro truck and no eregs. Easy day📦💪🏽.
Do UPS drivers need to load their trucks or is it pre loaded before you start your day by someone else? Also how do you know your routes? Is it pre planned or do you need to place packages in a certain order?
I’ve been thinking about applying but I don’t know the fine details, etc. is this like a two days off/week but not consecutive like the post office?
Thank you in advance and great video!
The warehouse workers on the 4am-9am preload shift have the trucks loaded by 9am (when all UPS drivers start their shift). The loaders aim to place the packages in a certain area of the truck based on the general order of stops that driver has to make on that day (the loaders have scanners that are connected to all the package label details with the addresses).
The routes are planned by the building’s dispatch and they’re programmed into a handheld device called a DIAD carried by the driver. I’d say more often than not, it’s more important to be able to learn and remember the details and best ways to navigate the route, because the software on the DIAD does not always reflect the most efficient path to take. Most regular drivers work 5 days a week, many will get stuck doing 6 days until they move up in seniority and it falls on newer guys
They have package handlers for that I think the drivers just drive
I just got offer a verbal “conditional offer” as a casual package driver. Can you tell more about that?
I’m scheduled June 9th for road test!
Sure. The road test is a 10 or 15 minute ride along with a supervisor. You'll drive just to make sure you can handle the vehicle. If you get the job you'll be casually used for a month or two and then let go.
@@jeffreyandrews5254 we’re you part time or full time. I have the road test coming up soon for full time and and I don’t want to quit my current job if they let you go that easy
Yeah always keep a good relationship with your current job. The company is known to lay-off new employees without notice and you could be needing to find work in the drop of a hat.
1 quarter mailing s available for all 4 quarters and o seasons.!
You’re beautiful 😍… Do your thing! 🙌🏽
Thank you ! Appreciate it 🥺🥺💕
How do you set up the route?
What Should I expect on my first week !?!?!? I start march 1st & my on road said to be ready to be tested 😮💨😓 of what though !?!? Help me yooo
Did you work first in the warehouse as a package handler or you were hired directly as a package delivery drivers?
From what I was talk everybody start as package handlers and move their way on up after 30days
I’m 2 years 2 months in as a package handler (21 y/o). I don’t know if it’s worth the wait or if I should go somewhere else and work full time now and work towards a house. I really see and saw myself with UPS but am I wasting time?! It’s literally preload, day, twilight, and night sort all fighting for 1 position.
I honestly can’t really speak on the package handler position, it sounds pretty repetitive though . If you’re interested in becoming a driver I would honesty suggest that . It can be pretty challenging at times but I feel like it’s much more worth it , especially once you’ve been a driver for 4 years .. based off of what I’ve heard from senior drivers .
@@itsniiikki at my hub to become a package driver you need seniority. It’s taking about 5 years right now. What state is this? I will literally move out of state if I find out a different hub will hire me as a package driver immediately
Going 110 to get to work on time 😂 I like it
Loool gotta do what you gotta do 😂😂
Great video!!
How did you pass the 5's and 10's. It's alot to learn and I have my test in February.
I just studied everyday up until the test honestly but I studied a couple points at a time just so I can actually retain the information
What’s the most stops and total pieces you’ve ever had
Hey question, do you have to hand write anything during your route?
Good gosh. I want a route as sweet as that lol. Fellow ups good stuff. Let them know this is like a once in a year opportunity haha.
no you dont they will have you help someone after you done with that after 2 hours..
We don’t do that at my hub anymore, once you’re done you’re done.
do you have to know how to drive a manual to drive the box truck? is the one your driving in this video automatic?
Not anymore, unless you drive in nyc
Nikki! Do you think it’s worth starting out as PVD, Will you be kept beyond 2 months. If you start 10/17/22, Do you think it will be over by 1/1/23
Yes and no . I started as a pvd and I’ve been a driver now for 2 years but that is not the case for everyone . To stay safe I would say apply Regularly as a driver but if you’re willing to put in the work and deal with the bs from your supervisors apply as a pvd and prove that you’re hardworking
Yes the drivers test hard?
Yo, finnnally got my text to start driving school this Thursday. But what about my position as package handler? Do you think I’ll still have to work package handler during school?
They pay you for school. You should be good
Love da video 🥰 I work inside operations for Metro here in the South Loop in Chicago, and we call that truck ur in this video da BankRobber or Air Truck. Idk what yall call them trucks in your Hub 😄 🤣 😂
Loool we just call them trucks or package cars 😂😂😂 bankrobber lol that’s funny , love it
@@itsniiikki : lol 😆 Yea here in da Chi that's what we call the trucks with the swinging doors and we also have about 100 Uhaul Rentals for peak
Very similar to being a FedEx Driver!
Except for the pay and bennies haha
Jeesus, I load more stops into my private car and deliver them for UPS after the preload shift, every day. Greetings from one of europe´s oldest R&D Centers. :D
how hard was the integrad training? I am 19, and will aim to make this my career when I turn 21. All the men in my family have drove for them since '66!
Oh wow that’s great ! The training wasn’t too bad you have in class training for a about 4-5 days and then you’re on the road with a trainer or your supervisor for 3 days
Gonna make bank for a career bro. just keep your body healthy.
Learning the 5 and 10 was tough
@@itsniiikki where is classroom training given?
@@julianrodriguez9748 what is the 5 and 10?
How long did it take you to become a driver ? Did you have to go preload first? and is it worth it?
Didn’t take long at all I applied during the pandemic and at that time they were hiring a bunch of people took about a week before I started working and that’s because I had to figure out what to do about my other job at the time
Does everyone one in the country who train for packages delivery driver fly to Chicago for training or are there multiple locations ?
I’ve never heard of that at all .. we train at the facilities down here
There are multiple integrad locations. At least there were wren I first started driving in 2019. Two of them I remember are Orlando FL and Franklin Park IL (aka Chicago). I went to Chicago.
What do you do when a box is too heavy to list off of the truck?
You deliver it. Unless its over 130 pounds you can bring it back
How long does it take to become a driver for ups? They have me starting in the warehouse first. Looking forward to becoming a driver.
Years 3 minimum that's if they keep you
Considering the fact that you’re starting in the warehouse I’m not 100% sure .
@@novaaceslegend3956 I stayed in the warehouse for 5 years. But you can become a driver sooner now days. Like 1 or 2 years go to HR put your name on the list ASAP
@@novaaceslegend3956 just got hired going to take the driving test an I'll start just driving right away ..
@@Jake-tq2vr did you have to go through the warehouse ? Cause I wanna start driving asap
I just got the verbal conditional offer over the phone you kno what I should expect Before the road test
I just got an email with the exact offer. As a casual package driver.
Any updates?
Ups has the coolest uniform.
on god. hate those short short's fedex be wearing.
@@zeuskronos2018 the fedex nilon, reflective tracksuits are cool tho
Fucking chuckled when that fedex truck zoomed by
Yes me also, prolly because the FedEx driver did like 5 stops while this broad sorry lady was busy filming herself
Im nervous for driving hopefully in march 2022
You got this !!
I’m a ups driver. Christ I wish my truck looked like yours. I’d be done by noon
I just applied to be a driver helper, where do you have to meet your driver? Like how far and do you stay with the same driver the whole season? I don’t have a car but I’ll figure it out!
Sometimes the driver will come pick you up otherwise the driver will let you know where to meet them . You stay with the same driver the entire time , to my knowledge
Been trying to get on, but it seems so hard to do so.
My truck only looks like that when I'm delivering just airs LOL 😂
Do you know exactly which handtruck it is that you use?
You mean the hand cart or the actual truck itself ?
Damn that lysol is a good tip, never thought of that xDDD
I used to live at vp and Lawrence ave.
I start at ups tomorrow 😬💰
Is it true ups delivers on Saturday and Sunday? Just wanted to clear that up. Btw, ups is the best shipping company in the U.S.😀
Saturdays yes from my center at least , I cannot speak for all . Sunday’s , no
I think of looking into ups,, will I be a stocker first and after so much time they’ll offer me a driving position or is it hard to move into a driving position?
You can Apple directly to be a driver to my knowledge you do not have to start in the warehouse first . I didn’t
I think I’m in love hello there!! Lol
I've never seen a truck that empty. Code 05 for sure
Never code 05.. we work 5 or 6 hrs and still stay 06 here
That’s a air route
Is the pay good?
What are the cons?
The pay is pretty good , can’t complain . The cons … it takes a while before you can actually get your own run in the meantime your bouncing around from area to area and it can get really frustrating sometimes . I’ll make another video to explain in my detail
Top rate brings home 6 figures a year!!
What gloves are those?

Since its brown won't the truck get 😒 super hotter than the blue amazon step vans in the summer?
Oh 100% those trucks have no AC , that’s why you’ll see a lot of them with the doors open in the summer time
Natural air is the best air - summer time summerrr time
Have you worked with any driver helpers yet?? I got hired and it been 2 weeks since then and I haven’t started yet.
Yes I have worked with driver helpers before, you really have to get on your supervisors sometimes show them that you’re eager to work
@@itsniiikki ok ima give him a call tomorrow for the second time
Beautiful 😍
Hey great job sis💯. I been with the company for 2 months now as a package handler how long did it take u to become a diver???
So it took me about 5-6 months to become a full time driver
@@itsniiikki thanks so much 💯
Did you start in the hub? Do I have to know how to drive manual transmission?
No I didn’t and no you don’t
Hey I was a helper for 2 years do you think I have a chance at the walking into a new building and being my a full time driver
Yes absolutely, especially because you have the experience already
How many stops and packages do you have a day on average?
Depends. Could be 80 to 120. Maybe up to 150. Lowest maybe 40-60
Hey, did you take you test in a manual or automatic?
Automatic
Do u all drop packages when they have no street number what u all do??becus I forget to out the street 3 an they said the package was delivered an sign but my shipping company don't have it
No they’re supposed to go back to the building for address correction .
Haha the intro was cute , you was out !
What’s the website to apply?
the fedEx van really disrespected you like that :( 5:45
Lol right ! The audacity
....how many stops is that like 50? is this on a Monday?
The states we get atleast 150 stops a day, glad yall aren't being abused up North
I wanted to know do they ask for a social on your application?
No
I wish my load was like that everyday I’m in downtown Los Angeles 🤦🏽♂️
I can only imagine how hectic your truck looks 🥴

How did you remember your 5 and 10s ?
I studied every night I would write them down over and over again until I remembered
