I work as a driver helper. I’ve worked with 6 different drivers. Most of them are cool but they all seem depressed. Almost all of them said they have no time for family. Drivers are cool. Management and HR are terrible!
I came across this video tonight , it was filmed right here in Keizer Oregon !! This guy has delivered packages to my house several times, he is a professional and absolutely the nicest guy !
Left out the part where management writing you up for getting stuck in traffic and being told to finish two other guys route and get here early and don't clock in yet.
Awesome video bro, Loved the fact you read the Bible in the morning that me also. I'm a UPS driver myself just hit top scale in July but been with company since may 2006. Good job for pay and benefits, but it has its really rough days which is expected with a job paying that we'll with no college education required. To do this job it all comes down to if you can handle the hours and getting home at random stuff times and not letting how many stops or bulk you may have on any random day get to your head. It's ruff at first, but you learn to deal with it over time.
That's what i tell most people wanting to drive, is that you never know when you'll be off. The moment you catch a glimpse of your truck in the morning, you have a solid idea of how your day will be, but even then you may have to deal with misloads, extra pick ups, on calls, helping others, irregs, traffic, the weather, etc etc etc. - Any day you're blessed with getting off earlier than normal, relish it because they come few and far between.
I have been driving for 5 years, and holy shit that blew my mind. That is at the top of my list for things to do tomorrow. Sweet. Also, this video could be a rap video. lol. I was digging it. All the best to you and your family.
Every other truck in my center had ripped apart steering wheel consoles and seat belts because of people wrapping seat belts around them and them getting stuck. Thats a big no no now. You tear your seat belt or rip off a console your truck gets red tagged and you get the biggest POS on the lot from there on.
Nice video brother!! I did package for 16 yrs. I'm in feeder now. 30 years with the company. Stay safe!!! Oh man, I just got to the kid part. I remember literally falling asleep reading to my boy while still in my browns...
My brother has worked for UPS 33 years come January. The drivers don't start until 09:15 after the daily huddle and the Vince Lombardi speech by the supervisor 😆
God bless you Jerry. I pray He hear your call whenever you need. I remember reading this comment when I started as driver's helper over 7 months ago. I would remember this passage when times were tough at my other job once peak season finished. Now proud to share that UPS is bringing me back on as a permanent driver! God really is great and He really does protect his flock.
That's where it started, but after that, every company has to compete with pay and benefits. Even still, UPS is the top tier in all categories. They have to be to retain talent.
I used to work for the "A" Holes ... Ran 125 to 140 Stops A Day , and was told that wasn't GOOD ENOUGH ... !! I was young then . Supervisor got in the P 500 package car with me one day , had a clipboard and a stopwatch in his hand . Said I had to run so many stops in a hour . I SAID , I guess the next thing out of your mouth is about SAFETY ..? I Told him to put his seat belt on , and close the door ...!! And we went through residential area 's 35 - 40 mph .. to try to make his delivery times of 1 hour .That Company IS RIDICULOUS ... !!!!
I'm a retired single UPS driver. Most of my coworkers we're divorced or Unhappily Married. Working long hours till 9pm is asking for a divorce. I had girlfriends that couldn't wait till 9pm so they cheated on me. They couldn't understand why I was getting off so late.
There are many paths to finding god. This is a fantastic video and you show yourself performing the job exactly as it should be done. Maybe some driver release could have been more out of sight...but good 3pts. Good check on mirrors. Good glace over left shoulder. Good optimum carry. Proper carry aid use and methods. Wish they were all like you. You seem to have pride in your work and like your job. I am happy for you. Thanks for sharing. Hope you got no grief from your 1st amendment creativity.
last part is awesome play with kids ..I loved that. How hard I work and how tired I am it's doesn't matter when I come back home from work I do same with my little one whatever he done... Awesome video brother
Raman Kainth waiting for customers to get their shipment ready, peeing in empty Gatorade bottles.. on road sups getting mad at you for coming in late, smoking packages because you are behind..
It is also the enemy of cover drivers who wind up running stupid bullcrap stops for lazy 9.5 drivers. Trust me. I know. We'll have cover drivers running 160 mile routes and being out til after 8 o'clock to "help out" the 9.5 drivers that are getting done by 5:30 every day anyway.
DuckTalesWooHoo1987 lol, yeah my daughter was born 2010 and it felt like in a blink of an eye she became a smarty pants little chess player. Cool screen name, that was my era of tv shows as well.
Love the music.... Starts off sad then builds up to coming home to the kids. That's what it's all about. I start drivers training next week for San Francisco. Drive safe out there brother
I started out PT, then drove PC for 9 years. The last 28 years in feeders before I retired. It can be a rewarding job in many ways but very very hard on your body in the long run. Things maybe different than when I started in 1976. See the kids when I got home during peak? Not too often.
Been there done that............5 years PT 29 years driver. UPS owns you from 8 am Mondays thru 8-9pm Fridays.You take care of the company and the company takes care of you.
Cool video man. 27year employee here. if only people knew what we go through on a daily basis. This is pretty much most drivers all day long every day. 👍
Extended routes take just as much skill and produce just as much stress though. You wind up not knowing if you can get turned around in some idiot's driveway or which house to leave it at when there's 10 houses in one yard or if some mutt dog is gonna bite the crap out of you. There's nothing easy about our job no matter where you're running a route. Then throw telematics on top of it and it makes it even worse.
No. When you start out you're a "cover driver" which means that you just go on whatever route they have for you to go on. The drivers that have their own routes are called "bid drivers" which means that they sign a sheet and the person with the highest seniority gets the route. At my hub it takes about 12 or 13 years to even start cover driving and to get a bid route will probably take you at least another 6 or 7 and generally the bids that do come up are in really crappy parts of town like the ghetto or something and no one even wants to take them. One of my buddies is a bid driver and told me not too long ago he thinks cover driving is literally the hardest job at UPS. I would agree. It's insanely stressful not knowing what route you're gonna be thrown on in the blind at the last minute but if you can tough it out you're gonna be making some insane money. Just know that it's not for the faint of heart.
The video left out the cursing of the preloader, the dumped load, the misloads, the dogs and the drivers cutting you off. Other than that, pretty accurate account.
laserfinest 80 stops it’s nothing man. 80 stops is a ups drivers dream route. You typically get anywhere from 150-300 stops a day. More during peek season.
I go out with 150 on an average day and still fighting to lower my stop count. I got on the ninefive and its alot better but I still grievance every once in a while just to keep management in check
In Poland, the work of a courier looks different: at 6:30 we are already in the warehouse. We have about 120 addresses a day, we drive dilapidated cars. We can't leave parcels in front of houses because someone will surely steal it, and if they don't steal it, the recipient will report it missing, and we also collect money for parcels. In Poland, the courier is treated like garbage...
Been a package handler (unloader) on the pre-load shift for 6 months. I was in the military, tried college afterward, didn’t work out, and am now at UPS about to put my name on the driver list. Approximate wait time is only another 6-12 months. Hoping this is gonna be it for me - career, benefits, pension, and great pay. I’m single with no kids, and will probably stay that way, so this job seems like it’s made for me
Im watching this video to compare it with my delivery work here in the Netherlands, its not that different after all! only we drive Mercedes Sprinters/ VW Crafters their way easier in the narrow streets that we got here :) we have an average of 80-130 adresses each day over a 200-300km route i love it!
Bilo Jaah -130 stops seems like a lot for that many miles. Do you do pickups? Most in town routes drive closer to 50 miles in my center, and the extended routes 180miles. Really neat to hear from you. Thanks for watching 😬
These are kilometers ofcourse, in miles it'll be something like 200, but the difference is that i have around 1 city that i drive the lot in, and i have around 6-7 more little town that are on my route, including mostly farms! i have pickups too but i can either choose to do them directly in the morning or at the end of my route, but i have to make sure i can make it ofcourse cuz most businesses close around 5-6hr. i count the miles that are from my home to the depot cuz i have my Sprinter van with me all week long. nice to hear back from you man! :)
Thanks for the reply. I currently deliver for FedEx Home. However we are all contractors or working for a contractor. I feel as if UPS would be harder work, but better benefits and pay. I may give it a shot.
I was a driver helper for 3 weeks. I resigned after I started to become depressed and have suicidal thoughts, I started developing medical problems such as back and joint pain. It was a terrible job and the driver I worked with was treated so badly by management he wasn’t even allowed to stop to use the restroom he used to go #2 in a bucket in the back of the truck. It gave me nightmares. I just finished treatment with a psychologist and can finally move ahead with my life.
ha! i remember coming home exhausted at night trying to keep my eyes open playing on the floor with my son. been with UPS 20+ years- in feeders last 8. great job on the video. there are alot of negative videos out there about working at UPS. Hey- it's a tough job but a great paying job and great benefits if your willing to work hard. also met alot of great people on route to help get through the long days
Great video man ! I’ve worked for Fedex Ground a few years and my day is similar ( especially the Jesus calling part !) . I wish I could get on as a driver with UPS. Keep up the good stuff ...
This is one of the best paying jobs but one of the worst jobs my name is David Simon from Houston my dad worked 34 years and I quit after four fuck UPS for treating their employees drivers the way they do
This job is for highly motivated hard charging go getters only ! No wimps or save space pansies need apply. I've been a driver for 27 years and covered all the toughest routes back in the day. I drive a P500 on a rural satellite route now, no more P1200's or P1000's with 500 chunks and a 50 stop metro !
I'm starting as a helper this season and I'm a liiitle bit scared. I also don't have shoes for work. Would u mind telling me what boots you were wearing? Or which ones you'd recommend to me?
Also, we were not allowed to go out the jump seat side forward while carrying a box for fear of something going wrong and then you are diving in to possibly a cement sidewalk
Thanks for the Video. I'm getting ready for next year 2017. They gonna call me to go driving. I'm a little nervous and excited too. Also, I'm preparing mentally and physically for the 30 day challenge.
They’re hiring full time for a driver near me. I applied right away, only thing i dont know is manual transmission. Really hoping I get this job, I’ll be set for life.
I work at ups in Dallas Tx ,Between 80 to 120 stop working the shit out of you, but I love it , job security, 401k stock, great retirement 12 years service, changing over to cdl driver
I worked for UPS, as a counter person, in the deep south, for approximately six months. It was by far, the worst job I ever had! I was called every name in the book, including racist, if a customer's package wasn't ready and waiting. When I turned in my two week notice, I got fired. I am happy for those who make a good living for UPS, and I know some do, but I hate the way they run their company, and how I was treated. I pretty much got stuck on the counter with five minutes training, and abandoned. Then, when I couldn't figure out how to do something(like shipping a package overseas), nobody was available to show me. And nobody would come forward to defend me against the onslaught of angry customers. I left a job at Walmart, for a dollar more at UPS. I should have stayed at Walmart. At least you could get a manager to come deal with an unhappy customer. So all you Walmart haters, go get a UPS job, please! I have only worked a few side jobs since UPS, since I screwed my spine up, lifting heavy packages, while dealing with nightmare people, alone. (UPS also told me that back injuries don't come on gradually. It either happens all the sudden, or it didn't happen.) I do like that the guy reads his Bible every morning. I probably should read mine more. Because every time I hear about UPS, I get angry about the nightmare that I went thru. Is hating a company a sin?
itsnotthesamething I don't know if hating ups is not a sin but who cares.the way they treat people is the sin.my back is destoyed from 12 years unloading at ups its called repetitive motion injurys of course ups won't admit it.
I know the UPS life I worked as a trucker in a russain Wearhouse and boy it's a hard life. With just 14 trucks in our fleet but our Fridays were so busy our Wearhouse was stacked to the brick and if your package arrived in bad shape or even damaged it gets kicked and tossed around very bad to get things done fast
they should show day in the life of a ups driver during peak season(last 2 weeks on nov, all off dec.). the truck Is so filled up you cant even open up the doors. cant find most of the packages to be delivered. if you have 3 packages coming to your home, you're lucky if I find two of them.
Can't walk my truck till 2pm after I deliver'pickup a strip mall. 50-55 miles/day, 180-195 stops with pickups figured in, and 300-350 delivery packages usually... 100-250ish pickup packages if schools in.
As of about a month ago the diad’s have a making system that shows the path. But if you have done a route for a week you can get to 99% of your stops with no assistance.
How do we know where to go? First route you get, an on road sup rides with you and trains you on the route. Every route you run after that is like learning another language after your native tongue. The board is set up to run a route in a logistical order. For instance, you might start in the 100 block of Main Street, turn right at the 800 block, onto Clover Ave. Go two or three blocks, turn right again. UPS always tries to make right hand turns and routes are designed with that in mind. Sometimes, usually for time commitment packages, you have to break off and leave the area for a bit, but you come back and pick up where you left off.
I'm a 21 year old who just dropped out of college. I might go back but I also might try to work for UPS and work my way up. 2 questions: 1- if I bust ass and am one of the hardest workers as a part timer, how long will it take to drive? 2- once you become a full time driver could I have time to coach hs football? I'm curios because I would like to coach football and I know one of my coaches worked for ups
A: It dosent matter how hard you work. It is all senority based. You start at the bottom and wait your turn. A: It would be almost impossable to coach because of how late you get off. The first few years especially. Some guys coach, but they have been here awhile and have seniority (dont have to help others when done) and run all day to get off at 4:30.

These are kilometers ofcourse, in miles it'll be something like 200, but the difference is that i have around 1 city that i drive the lot in, and i have around 6-7 more little town that are on my route, including mostly farms! i have pickups too but i can either choose to do them directly in the morning or at the end of my route, but i have to make sure i can make it ofcourse cuz most businesses close around 5-6hr.
i count the miles that are from my home to the depot cuz i have my Sprinter van with me all week long.
nice to hear back from you man! :)
Much respect for using Costco organic strawberry jelly.
He deserves a raise
The man makes 100-130k I’m sure he’s fine
Mannnnn.....in my facility (nyc) you gotta have like 20-25 years seniority, JUST to punch out at 8-9....this guys load was light as hell
seat belt move was sweet going to do that its going to save me more time love the video bro and that last stop of the day is the best of them all
Thanks for the reply. I currently deliver for FedEx Home. However we are all contractors or working for a contractor. I feel as if UPS would be harder work, but better benefits and pay. I may give it a shot.
i'm in the same boat myself. Facing my first taste of peak here soon.
This would legit be me, with the ups mug and everything
You are a awesome human being btw
my fav part was when he read the Good Book before he left home..
Seems like better work at 30 than it will be at 50.
Great vid, thanks for posting!
Hey, you didn't shave. You're fired!!
God bless you and daddy all over the world.
I was a driver helper for 3 weeks. I resigned after I started to become depressed and have suicidal thoughts, I started developing medical problems such as back and joint pain. It was a terrible job and the driver I worked with was treated so badly by management he wasn’t even allowed to stop to use the restroom he used to go #2 in a bucket in the back of the truck. It gave me nightmares. I just finished treatment with a psychologist and can finally move ahead with my life.
ha! i remember coming home exhausted at night trying to keep my eyes open playing on the floor with my son. been with UPS 20+ years- in feeders last 8. great job on the video. there are alot of negative videos out there about working at UPS. Hey- it's a tough job but a great paying job and great benefits if your willing to work hard. also met alot of great people on route to help get through the long days
this was more entertaining than i thought it would be
Antweezy - haha thanks
Great video man ! I’ve worked for Fedex Ground a few years and my day is similar ( especially the Jesus calling part !) . I wish I could get on as a driver with UPS. Keep up the good stuff ...
LOOK at that seat recline, and WOW push button start with automatic transmission!!!!!!!! I retired 12 years ago, you people have it made now.
This is one of the best paying jobs but one of the worst jobs my name is David Simon from Houston my dad worked 34 years and I quit after four fuck UPS for treating their employees drivers the way they do
UPS has the highest number of foot, ankle, leg and back injuries of any company in the USA.
I really want to be a ups driver for some reason..
me too, it's seems like a nice job.
If money matters more than having a life, you absolutely want to be a UPS driver.
This job is for highly motivated hard charging go getters only ! No wimps or save space pansies need apply. I've been a driver for 27 years and covered all the toughest routes back in the day. I drive a P500 on a rural satellite route now, no more P1200's or P1000's with 500 chunks and a 50 stop metro !
Lots of fun taking off and putting on your seat belt over 100 times a day.
I'm starting as a helper this season and I'm a liiitle bit scared. I also don't have shoes for work. Would u mind telling me what boots you were wearing? Or which ones you'd recommend to me?
dme warm brown steel toed shoes/boots
Nothing wrong with hard work.
i am an OMS at UPS and really enjoyed this video :)
Also, we were not allowed to go out the jump seat side forward while carrying a box for fear of something going wrong and then you are diving in to possibly a cement sidewalk
I find it funny that you forgot your diad a couple of times. But great vid either way
Thanks for the Video. I'm getting ready for next year 2017. They gonna call me to go driving. I'm a little nervous and excited too. Also, I'm preparing mentally and physically for the 30 day challenge.
still working for them?
Still working?
Died working as a ups driver. Sad :(
They’re hiring full time for a driver near me. I applied right away, only thing i dont know is manual transmission. Really hoping I get this job, I’ll be set for life.
Did that job for 31 years, bout sums it up, nice job.....our stops per car was 154....
Mark Stench - nice. Hopefully that will be me someday.
I work at ups in Dallas Tx ,Between 80 to 120 stop working the shit out of you, but I love it , job security, 401k stock, great retirement 12 years service, changing over to cdl driver
Hot weather
This guy is what we call a “runner”
I love being a driver helper! 😍
Heck of a way to earn a living. Much respect.
Why?
Dont you dare not smile when you deliver my packages.
I love delivering in cold and cloudy conditions
I worked for UPS, as a counter person, in the deep south, for approximately six months. It was by far, the worst job I ever had! I was called every name in the book, including racist, if a customer's package wasn't ready and waiting. When I turned in my two week notice, I got fired. I am happy for those who make a good living for UPS, and I know some do, but I hate the way they run their company, and how I was treated. I pretty much got stuck on the counter with five minutes training, and abandoned. Then, when I couldn't figure out how to do something(like shipping a package overseas), nobody was available to show me. And nobody would come forward to defend me against the onslaught of angry customers. I left a job at Walmart, for a dollar more at UPS. I should have stayed at Walmart. At least you could get a manager to come deal with an unhappy customer. So all you Walmart haters, go get a UPS job, please! I have only worked a few side jobs since UPS, since I screwed my spine up, lifting heavy packages, while dealing with nightmare people, alone. (UPS also told me that back injuries don't come on gradually. It either happens all the sudden, or it didn't happen.) I do like that the guy reads his Bible every morning. I probably should read mine more. Because every time I hear about UPS, I get angry about the nightmare that I went thru. Is hating a company a sin?
itsnotthesamething I don't know if hating ups is not a sin but who cares.the way they treat people is the sin.my back is destoyed from 12 years unloading at ups its called repetitive motion injurys of course ups won't admit it.
I know the UPS life I worked as a trucker in a russain Wearhouse and boy it's a hard life. With just 14 trucks in our fleet but our Fridays were so busy our Wearhouse was stacked to the brick and if your package arrived in bad shape or even damaged it gets kicked and tossed around very bad to get things done fast
I never DRed a package at the side of the door that opened because I was afraid someone would come out of the house and trip over it
Glad I am on the downward side. Got till October 2022 and I am done.
I’m so nervous have driving training tomorrow for ups this video is Motivating
Love it bro ,but that must be the perfect life! Or your definitely working that 9.5 lol
they should show day in the life of a ups driver during peak season(last 2 weeks on nov, all off dec.). the truck Is so filled up you cant even open up the doors. cant find most of the packages to be delivered. if you have 3 packages coming to your home, you're lucky if I find two of them.
I painted my son's car like a ups truck for Halloween. Lol.
I clocked out after 20:45 every day last week, but we are "Under stops per car by 4." I guess I just suck.
King T Squared up
I like the shadows of trumpeters, UPS always late, blow those trumpets of angst. 🤣🙈📯🎷👹
first of all, this beat is stupid fire..
i love your video.
My old city.
god i wish my truck was this light lol
Can't walk my truck till 2pm after I deliver'pickup a strip mall. 50-55 miles/day, 180-195 stops with pickups figured in, and 300-350 delivery packages usually... 100-250ish pickup packages if schools in.
How do drivers know where to go? Is everything GPS or do you just know your routes to the T
As of about a month ago the diad’s have a making system that shows the path. But if you have done a route for a week you can get to 99% of your stops with no assistance.
How do we know where to go? First route you get, an on road sup rides with you and trains you on the route. Every route you run after that is like learning another language after your native tongue. The board is set up to run a route in a logistical order. For instance, you might start in the 100 block of Main Street, turn right at the 800 block, onto Clover Ave. Go two or three blocks, turn right again. UPS always tries to make right hand turns and routes are designed with that in mind. Sometimes, usually for time commitment packages, you have to break off and leave the area for a bit, but you come back and pick up where you left off.
I'm a 21 year old who just dropped out of college. I might go back but I also might try to work for UPS and work my way up. 2 questions: 1- if I bust ass and am one of the hardest workers as a part timer, how long will it take to drive? 2- once you become a full time driver could I have time to coach hs football? I'm curios because I would like to coach football and I know one of my coaches worked for ups
A: It dosent matter how hard you work. It is all senority based. You start at the bottom and wait your turn.
A: It would be almost impossable to coach because of how late you get off. The first few years especially. Some guys coach, but they have been here awhile and have seniority (dont have to help others when done) and run all day to get off at 4:30.
Jordan Nelson still young my brother, go back to school and pursue your passion! I had this job at 20 but for gso and I was depressed....
Beautiful
He is very disciplined
