@WhatTheHawk38 I felt the same at first, but believe it or not, as I kept on working all day, the thought of driving the truck slipped from my mind and became second nature
@WhatTheHawk38 You have to first off, relax, breath, and focus on how big the vehicle actually is. Imagine you're driving your car when you're in the truck. Have that kind of confidence going in. Also remember that you have a lot more space than you think when driving. I would say that if you go in with confidence and you really focus and believe yourself, you'll be just fine. That's how I did it
Wow How things have changed 33 years ago they put me and three other guys in a package car took turns driving a couple miles each and if you dint hit a curb You made it I started next day busted my ass for 33 years now I'm retired 55 years old enjoying the good Life good luck to all you new drivers out there it's a hard job but don't give up
I'm taking my driving test this Tuesday and going through the hub for my week testing. I've had a Class A CDL for 7 plus years with double and triples and a hazard mat endorsement as well. By the end of training I'll be in feeder truck!!
One thing up here in PA. NEVER, EVER BA LATE, for anything. The morning start time, coming back from lunch, coming back from break or even coming back from a bathroom break at the time they tell you to be back. They might give you one break in being late back from a bathroom break if you are a good student, but if you are ever late for the start of class or lunch, you are gone, no questions asked.
Know your 5’s and 10’s and Integrad is a cakewalk. I went to the Orlando school and was nothing like everyone says. I tested out on everything i could the first day, and the other 4 days I basically just had to sit there and wait until the end of the day. And the instructors are some of the nicest guys ive met, they are very willing to help you with any problems you might have
My hr rep didnt put the corporate ups school policy anti harrassment policy form or the uniform policy in my integrad binder and i got it thursday and coukdnt find her on friday. Am i screwed? I fly out tomorrow
james bishop my Hr didnt give me my nspt book, i called them and had them next day air it to me and i got it on Wednesday and i passed, you should be fine
Dang thats the first thing he said in the video is they wont let you go through the school without that paperwork. I hope your right though. I would rather stay home with my wife and kids then fly out there and turn around and come back home
james bishop yeah they collect it on the first day, and it sucks telling them you dont have it, but there was around 10 of us that didnt have the book and we got them sent in next day aired and all of us passed
Just passed at the Bridgewater location. They are hard on the uniform thing because it’s about attention to detail. Also, you are not supposed to dry clean your uniform. It’s not supposed to be given to anyone outside of UPS because of the access it grants. It pretty much allows you into ANYWHERE. It was hard because of the memorization. I was great at writing it but the second I needed to say it out loud, I’d freeze and blank out. The other thing for me was that I was the only one. Just me and Gary. He’s a great instructor because he’s done the job. Some may think that would make it easier but I had no down time. Questions that would normally go around the table,were all mine. No time to breath. Driving was easy for me because I have my CDL A and drove a bus for several years. I’m starting part time air. My goal is a feeder driver. Thankfully this process is moving fast for me. I started pre load through peak 2019, this driving process started at the beginning of February 2020 so I’m in step with my plan. BTW, I’m a 52 year old female. The work is tough but if you work and show up, it’s easy to move up. It only takes 4-5 years to reach top pay, benefits are top notch and the pension is awesome and unseen in most companies, now. Good luck to all who are on their way! It’ll be worth it.
Just about to check into hotel for Integrad. Wish me luck. I will say again these videos super helpful getting a edge on things. Looking forward to video #3
I breezed right through my road test, driving school, etc. Just waiting until mid August to get another chance at my 30 days. First attempt they made me go out in two feet of snow and not a single damn road was plowed and I ended up sliding sideways right into another vehicle. At least they let me go back to part time Saturday air driving....
Pretty good stuff. Orlando is way more strict on uniforms than my class was. As long as your boots could he shined, you shaved and you had a compliant haircut, they didn't care about creases and stuff. Probably bc most uniforms didn't fit and thrown together the morning of the first day of class.
Never went to Integrad. Had a week training at the hub. Started at 18.75 and a year later I'm already at $23. In a few years I'll be making $41. It's worth it to go through the BS.
@ Christopher: I'm starting Monday at the Gypsum hub as a delivery driver, and have no idea what to expect. I wonder if I'll go through the same "training" as you did for the denver hub
If you work like the supervisors want in the hub, more than likely you will be kept. Peak season hires are majority released. I started 9/14, took road and passed road test last year and now just waiting to see when school starts cause of this contract that's being voted on
@@jacobknippel8296 10 point commentary and the 5 seeing habits you can look them up online but they're a wicked pain in the ass they want the 5 point commentary memorized word for word im currently in the process of doing this now
integrad I went to was alot more lax then this, still super strict but not like this. They wouldn't say anything about a logo showing on your socks, or neck tattoos they would just tell them they have to wear turtlenecks. they were super strict with us the 2-3rd day after inspection they never said a word about uniforms, mine was wrinkled halfway through the day because it didn't fit well. they do like to mess with you and see how much BS you can take. just stay calm and confidant and memorize your 5s & 10s and you will be fine.
Just a heads up as of the last week of August UPS has a new intergrad curriculum. There is no drill drive scoring no pretrip test out or scoring on integration station. Just get to the bus on time, know you 5 seeing habits and your 10 point commentary and learn your diad. It's super easy to pass right now. Right now is the time to go.
@@TheSkeffdog the 5 has to be exact the 10 can very a little bit. But it really depends on whos observing your verbal or going over the written. Some are more lenient than others.
Don’t scare the new people. Some of the things you said isn’t even true at some locations. Where I went you can drive there, no bus, you can eat there. Very relaxed. Start time 8am to 5pm.
I went to school at the end of February 2020, I failed!! To me your class most of the day. Since they want u to driver in there manner why not have more outside driving time. So get your 5 seeing habits out of the way alone with your tens.. do that on the first day!! Secondly pay to have your uniforms dry cleaned if your not a ironing person. Have the with straight line for your pant no slouching in pant. You don’t have to have boots but they need to be slip resistant shoe that are shine able. Because they grade the shine and if it’s a work shoe, no heavy boots or shoes because they look at how you walk to the next stations for work. When your doing integrad station outside please make sure your walk at a brisk pace they look at that too. They also want u to know the diad. When u get your two driving papers please study that in your own vehicle.The 2 minute driving drill alone the othe paper that says stale green light , point of desission, left right left, then one mirror check. The drill make sure u clear ever intersection call out ever pedestrian or cross walk and do not driver over a pavement that is all broken up call it out as a hazard. Have self confidence in your self. They listen and look at class room presentations as a group. They put in buddy system so if one slacks u can help each other. I had a guy and he wasn’t helpful as soon he was finished with his computer work, he got up and left to start the work station which is for two ppl to do together. So it makes you look bad when your partner leaves ...u behind. Make sure to study the pre inspection paper as well. I think I would have passed if I had more time on the road. I slacked on the controlling of the truck. Make sure you finish all modules with diad connected to the Bluetooth. Uniform inspection was hard bc you spend so much time at the hotel trying to iron. Get hemm tape and men get a shaver. But it was good experience just overwhelming.Take deep breaths and show them that u hand the route, the truck and the driving drill, and timms, and stale green lights..pass all modules u get 3 tries so it best to read fast. Plan ahead
Passed Integrad last week, this was first week on job. Tough. That’s all I can say. This is not a job for anyone who’s looking for slacker type job. It’s tough
@WhatTheHawk38 if you watch my last video I talk about this exact thing management picks and chooses who they want by purposely failing people by putting them on impossible routes
Its so funny how strict they are in school. But once you get passed that ive seen drivers with full beards and long hair. Plus wearing sleeves under the shirts
Any thoughts where I can get boots that I can polish and not spend a fortune. Should be going to class in couple weeks maybe. Gotta do the 40hrs online yet
Ok a lot of people are mistaking this video for working at UPS on the job. This is a video on UPS Driving School. The school is much much stricter than on the job.
I appreciate the informative videos. I keep seeing people use the word "Integrad school." Is this the same as the courier/driver school? I am supposed to be called for the driving school in the coming week or so. So boots is a must? Will they tell you the general information before hand, like shaving and what type of shoes to wear? Or do they expect you to know this? Thanks in advance!
@@Rick_Smooth they give a a paper with basic rules. When you talk to HR and yes intergrad is the same as the driving school different places call it different things.
just went through class on a day notice. only had 4 days to study the 5s and 10s. well needless to say I failed! it's no joke but I feel like I was set up for failure from day one!
Do you live near Orlando? Just wondering how far they make you travel for school. I know it depends on location but I can't find ups school locations on Google anywhere or the ups site.
As a person who is on the high-functioning autism spectrum (and has almost achieved many goals such as getting a drivers license, but still has yet to get experienced with the road in a car) I have considered driving for UPS in the near future. I have a long ways to go yet, so this would be considered, my dream job right now. Therefore, I am in no rush until I’m experienced period.
I believe in you I know a guy where I work that has autism an had became a ups driver after 3 years of working as a pre loader never give up. My little brother also has autism an is going to graduate in next couple of years.
I went to intergrad at Phoenix and I failed on test day I didn't like that experience they make it too fast paced, but now im at NSPT in los Los Angeles its way more focused on driving and its not as fast paced so you get more practice on the road.
@@blackpharaoh6369 my advice would be to start practicing now as you drive practice everyday call the stale green light as you approach the intersections call out you eye lead time weather its a traffic light stop sign yellow sign, practice saying these thing out loud fast and smoothly also your driver drill for the highway its alot to memorize and in one week practice now so you can go in and call things out confidently and loudly as your driving.
Because of the busy season coming up, they are hiring crazy good right now. If you get luck you could get a permanent position. I’ll have to make a video of my experience. I see a lot of negative reviews on UPS school/training. I’ll give my honest opinion from personal experience.
So I got a call today from a lady that seen my resume and asked me a few questions then said we only do road tests on friday's hope u can come in tomorrow so I have a road taste in a few hrs this all seems so crazy
I was unaware you had to do all this just to be a delivery driver for ups. Im assuming same goes for fedex? Though i would search fedex integrad and find nothing about it...
Where is the school? Is there a driving school in / near every UPS HUb? District/area?? Anyone know? Just got job offer of casual delivery driver/package delivery driver. Driving the package cars.
I been working at ups in Atlanta from 3 months and nobody is tell me how to get on with feeder. One driver told me friday to come around 7am to talk to supervisor ask about it because there is no sign up sheet.
Need CDL with doubles triples endorsement, 10 year work history, CLEAN driving record, ability to pass a DOT physical and drug screen and pass a road test in a 10 speed manual
Are you talking about ATLGA? PLEGA?, FPAGA?, or the new hub? Anyway, at Whites Creek, they posted a bid sheet roughly each January; sometimes more often. But I'd expect without actually working at those hubs, you got years to go. And normally, full timers are getting first shot. Normally. And at Whites Creek, getting to feeders was cut throat. People could care less what malady excluded you, including your own death. So don't expect anyone to tell you. Find the bulletin board where bid sheets are posted and sign only the jobs you'd take if offered. Again at the creek, if you signed for a job and were awarded it, it was yours even if you didn't want it and even if it meant a month later the job you wanted came open. You were stuck until another bid sheet was posted. Also, there was or used to be a hard limit on how often you could change shifts in the hub. Like if next week, you changed from midnight to twilight, but a month after that, there was an opening on noon day, you were stuck. It takes a while to learn the ins and outs. Getting the hang of vacation was really foreign.
Like any driving positions at UPS you have to bid on the position. The way it works is a bid list is posted up and it is up for 10 days. Positions are filled by seniority from top down.
Dude I have 1 speeding ticket and that was my first ever. I got the start time confused in my hub and got it maybe 2 months back rushing to work. Will they let me drive? I’ve heard of guys having actual real shit and was told not to worry. Some people say it all depends
Fl_ATV_ Riders yeah, I was going well over the speed limit cause I was on the freeway. I did traffic school though. For some odd reason I still got 2 points taken off. 85 in a 65
Hi Jesus. From Atlanta, GA. It was tough but doable for sure. There were two classes going at the same time. Both consist of 49 n 48 students. Two got sent home from other class on the second day. And one from my class on the 3rd day. The two got cut due to hitting a curb in a parking lot and one from my class, she was a nervous driver, I meant NERVOUS!... I felt bad cause she was a sweet lady. Anyhow, they’ve delayed my starting date on me. So I’m starting next Monday. I once was seasonal driver so it was easier for me to go tackle the class. But others? Nervous as hell. Where do you drive?
@@randyyoungban4021 hey i leave in the morning and got my binder thursday and when i check it iut tonight it doesnt have 3 of the forms im supposed to bring to class. Am i screwed? Its the hr signed and dated forms. Anti harrasment policy uniform policy and corporate school policy
james bishop no you are not screwed. They will remedy that once you get to the Integrad. Be sure to talk to the instructor for the missing paper matters. If you don’t have dot card, have your hr person to send you the picture and do on. Good luck to you bro. Which school if i may ask?
Im going to Atlanta. They told me orlando all along then changed it mid week. I have everything but those 3 hr papers. We have 2 hr reps and the one that is not usually mine did those forms with me a month ago and a different hr rep did my binder for school.
I know you said that we need to know verbatim what the 5 seeing habits are down to the apostrophe s. What about 10 point commentary. How strict is that? Is it like a multiple choice?
Aim high in steering. Get the big picture. Keep your eyes moving. Leave yourself an out. Make sure they see you. I had to slightly cheat. I couldn't remember the order after number 2. I knew the items, just forgot the order. One thing every UPSer will never ever forget is: what do you do with a leaking hazmat or suspected hazmat?
My area doesn't seem to be anything like this."This conditional job offer is contingent upon successful completion of the UPS Road Test, Background Check and DOT Medical Exam." No mention of a school at all.
When you go to the school you are 100% hired. After you pass everything you stated they will offer you the position and then send you to driving school
@Nick's Randomness things have changed a ton since I went so it's really hard to say. Best way I can explain starting out for ups is your not actually a full blown ups driver until you sign your union contract. So basically your hired with the intent to be fired is how you need to look at it, until you sign the contract.
Good question. Perhaps is both originally a package service company, low-key boot camp preparing them for the real deal. I'm an unloader got a do that fast I mean fast.
@@hunterboyan5152 study study your 5 and 10’s! Do whatever it takes to memorize them. I used flash cards :) whatever you do, do not hit any curbs while turning the package car. Easier said than done but always use your mirrors while turning. Use your bottom blind spot mirror and you’ll be good to go. The new “diad” aka the scanner came out last August and everything is self explanatory. It’s awesome and so much easier than the one I had to use when I first started. The new scanner is a game changer but I think other than that you’ll be fine. You are going to do a lot of commentary while driving with your instructor so just be prepared and don’t over think it. They were very strict when I went through the class and I almost wanted to give in but I didn’t. I ended up passing at the end and now I’m almost 2 years in. I’ll soon be at top pay and I’m forever grateful. Let me know how it goes or if you need anymore tips!
I did OSUT at Ft. Benning, and there's a lot of the same shit going on with UPS, according to what you're saying. They're taking this shit too serious.
Sounds to me were ever you tested is completely ridiculous or they must have changed somethings since because at the hub I work at I do overnights pre load almost every single driver has visible tattoos and beards or longer facial and head hair im currently in the process of trying to be a driver I passed my road test first try got my DOT papers and now im working on all the computer testing stuff before I do the zoom stuff.they're doing 3 days on zoom and 2 in person sounds to me were you live is just strict as hell thankfully it's nothing like that were I live its actually the complete opposite my buddy from pre load just passed and he's got full sleeves and a beard talk to him this morning and he was wearing a short sleeve shirt
In reality whatever is in your truck Iv had to carry anything from a big wood crib up 3 flights of stairs. To huge coolers filled with medical supplies up stairs and any time you have stairs and no elevator you have to cary it.
Ups here in toronto canada only pays feeders $19 a hr to start and top pay is $36 a hr after 4 years if you actually get hired and not let go before the 3 months probation . I guess ups wants you to starve to death live on the streets . House are close to a million with in a hr drive from their hub . would be nice if they would get with the times
i have a "road test" tomorrow. they didn't tell me what to expect. i didnt even know there was a school for it. what was the road test like? they told me to study the 5's and 10's that's about it
I have a road test this week too after my DOT physical this Tuesday. I guess it’s just to see if you’re competent to drive and not an idiot then after around 1.5-2 weeks later they send you to school.
DJ Dineroe my road test was done with an automatic, so probably little easier than most. About 95% of trucks here are automatic. The only feedback I got was that I hugged the right side. If I were you I’d pay attention to the 5 seeing habits, and 10 point commentary. This should help with the things they are looking for
@@deancolonel5246 Alright thanks. I was told my driver test would be in a manual even tho most of the trucks are automatic. Don't even think going to a driver school is an option. Had an interview and drug test 4 days ago now waiting for a road test to be scheduled
Sadly you do in some areas. In my hub you need to know but only the newbies drive manual but only during peak when it tends to be a lot of drivers. If you’re not comfortable driving stick don’t apply. Get comfortable and apply after. The last thing you want is to get stuck in a manual and you don’t feel as confident. You will have a long day TRUST ME
What are the steps to becoming a driver? I just got the call today! Is it I train in my city, then fly out to a class in a different city and if I pass that I come back and start driving? Why did he say for 2 months you don’t have the job?
You go straight to class for a week then come back and get 3 days training that's it then your on your own and you don't really have the job for 35 days I think it is. Is because you are not apart of the union yet until then which means they will fire you over just about anything in those 35 days
Pattyg1st you go to school for 5 days, memorize the 5 seeing habits, 10 point commentary, 5 rules of backing, 8 yard safety rules, 5 rules to preventing slips and falls, 8 keys to lifting and lowering, and hazmat rules. When you get the email from HR, there will be a depth of knowledge attachment. Memorize it WORD FOR WORD. You will be tested on it every day. On the last day you must pass. Here are some acronyms that will help a ton. For the 5 seeing habits, All Good Kids Love Milk. (Aim High I’m steering, Get the big picture, keep your eyes moving, leave yourself an out, make sure they see you.) There are definitions to that also! 10 point commentary, Starting up in traffic, when stopped in traffic, Count 1.2.3 after vehicle ahead has started to move, 4-6 seconds following time for speeds under 30 MPH, 6-8 seconds for speeds over 30 MPH, 8-12 seconds eye lead time, scan steering wheels, stale green lights, eye contact, pulling from curb, use of mirrors. How I remember these is Starting, stopping, 1.2.3, #4 is 4-6 #5 is 8 And SCCCC ( scan steering wheels) STEP U!!! Imagine Shhhh!! Fuck you! ST- stale green lights E- eye contact P - pulling from curb U- use of mirrors. For yard control safety rules think ROB A SHIP R- Yard certified employees must wear Reflective vests while working in yard. O- Yard certifies employees must place orange cones in work area. B- Employyes must stay in designated Break areas and walkways. A- Only yard certified employees are Allowed outside of designated break areas and walk ways. S- Vehicles must obey posted Speed limits and and wear Seatbelts at all times. H - Vehicles must be equipped with operable headlights or reflective material for 360• visibility. I- Employees authorized to drive must remove keys from Ignition before exiting vehicle. P- Employees must enter and exit through Pedestrian doors. As far as the safe backing goes, imagine you’re in a package car backing up (let me save you some heartache and tell you DONT EVER BACK UP UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO! It’s dangerous, and a BIG no no.) Hazmat is Secure DEN. Secure area, don’t touch, evacuate, notify supervisor. As far as preventing slips and falls, imagine you’re there in the hub. You’re in a hurry, so you’re WALKING AT A BRISK PACE, but you also need to ESTABLISH FIRM FOOTING. It would be a waste of time to walk on the conveyors, so you should STAY OFF UNSECURED CONVEYOR EQUIPMENT. But while you’re walking you should also LOOK BEFORE STEPPING, and since someone spilled oil on the floor ADJUST TO CHANGING CONDITIONS. It’s not hard once you get it down. 25% of this is having a great attitude 75% is studying and learning. Find a study buddy or, UPS has videos on RUclips for it. On the last day of class when you take this you MUST have all of it right. Don’t get intimidated, and take your time completing the test. You’ll be much farther along if you memorize these before going to class. Also, before going to class, drive like you would drive a package car ( ie, 2 and 10 steering wheel position with thumbs pointed up etc... you got this!) Damion Albino has a couple GREAT books on how to become a UPS driver, and How not to fail as a UPS driver. If you have prime it’s FREE on kindle. Also, for the first 30 days you’re basically on probation. If you wreck.. and by wreck I mean hit ANYTHING you’re disqualified. Don’t let that get to your head, just be aware of your surroundings and take it easy. After 18 days you’ll be expected to scratch a load. What that means is they will assign you 9 hours of work, and you’re expected to get that done is 9 hours or less. A supervisor will ride with you for 3 days. After graduating, request a route manifest ( your route) and drive it in your personal vehicle. Get that route down and 50% of your work is done, and your supervisors mind will be BLOWN. Also, it takes a huge edge off if you’re already familiar. You know the area, know the hazards, and cut your chances of crashing significantly. It’s a great company, and it’s a GREAT LIVING!!! Remember this, as it’s true with MANY jobs. People don’t get fired, they fire themselves!!
You star driving like covering a driver. But you not just going to start driving permanently. because you pass. Remember is going to take a lot of time.
I don't think so to be honest they acted as if they really don't why you can't shave one guy even told them it makes him brake out in a rash from close shaving and he still had to
Kam it’s not that bad, just graduated about 2 months ago and passed 30day probation . I went to intergrad in Arizona . Just know your 5 and 10s shave and follow proper uniform guidelines and your fine. As far as probation use your breaks and lunch to fix your truck line packages right cuz the loaders suck. I would get work at 530 everyday to load my own truck because I wanted it loaded correct . After probation it’s all different I don’t get to work until 840 and actually take my full hour lunch and relax . All depends how bad you want the job .
3fiddy2720 for training it was 8-5pm mostly computer training like the yearly ones they do in the hub . Really strict on uniform and shaving. Study 5 and 10s before you go so you test out of it the first day you get there. Rest of the week will be a breeze
3fiddy2720 not as a strict as this, I remember watching this video back then thinking the worst and once I got shipped out it was actually fun . There goal is for you to pass if you fail they waste time and money . You just need really want this job and test out 5 and 10s right away .
getting a seasonal job,did my interview,never said i was hired,just sent me to get my dot physical,which i did,then he called the next day and said i was going to take the driving test tomorrow.Kind of confused because i thought i was going to the school for a week and that included the driving test. do i take a driving test first and if i pass that,then the school?
Yeah road test is flrst then school carrier do the same in usps But i chose the pse position so i dont worry about snow maybe become supervisor in post office later on Keep grinding!
Thanks a lot, I have an interview next week and I trying to be prepared as much as possible, I'm studying my 5 seems habit, and the 10 commentary list, hoping for the best
@@fl_atv_riders4455 thanks I lot!! That's why I'm looking forward for the second part of your video, lol the previous one was helpful because now I have a better picture of this hiring process
@@loko0o125 your welcome the hiring process is pretty straight forward. Your first interview will last about 10 to 15 mins all verbal, the next is a driving test rent a Uhaul box truck to practice if your not used to driving a bigger vehicle my video is based on the school for ups. The hiring part of the driving test is to make sure you are a safe driver.

I got lucky, 20 drivers retired in my area. Going to school tomorrow, if I pass, I'm working right after. Wish me luck everyone
Anthony98005 how did it go?
@@jameshetfield5978 I passed! If you apply yourself and dedicate your time to learning there, you will be fine
@WhatTheHawk38 I felt the same at first, but believe it or not, as I kept on working all day, the thought of driving the truck slipped from my mind and became second nature
@WhatTheHawk38 You have to first off, relax, breath, and focus on how big the vehicle actually is. Imagine you're driving your car when you're in the truck. Have that kind of confidence going in. Also remember that you have a lot more space than you think when driving. I would say that if you go in with confidence and you really focus and believe yourself, you'll be just fine. That's how I did it
@WhatTheHawk38 Good choice, if you go in with confidence, you'll be fine
Wow How things have changed 33 years ago they put me and three other guys in a package car took turns driving a couple miles each and if you dint hit a curb You made it I started next day busted my ass for 33 years now I'm retired 55 years old enjoying the good
Life good luck to all you new drivers out there it's a hard job but don't give up
I'm taking my driving test this Tuesday and going through the hub for my week testing. I've had a Class A CDL for 7 plus years with double and triples and a hazard mat endorsement as well. By the end of training I'll be in feeder truck!!
Goodluck
One thing up here in PA. NEVER, EVER BA LATE, for anything. The morning start time, coming back from lunch, coming back from break or even coming back from a bathroom break at the time they tell you to be back. They might give you one break in being late back from a bathroom break if you are a good student, but if you are ever late for the start of class or lunch, you are gone, no questions asked.
Sounds fun 😂
Thank you for the insight, I figured it wasn't easy - but not INTENSE.
Know your 5’s and 10’s and Integrad is a cakewalk. I went to the Orlando school and was nothing like everyone says. I tested out on everything i could the first day, and the other 4 days I basically just had to sit there and wait until the end of the day. And the instructors are some of the nicest guys ive met, they are very willing to help you with any problems you might have
My hr rep didnt put the corporate ups school policy anti harrassment policy form or the uniform policy in my integrad binder and i got it thursday and coukdnt find her on friday. Am i screwed? I fly out tomorrow
james bishop my Hr didnt give me my nspt book, i called them and had them next day air it to me and i got it on Wednesday and i passed, you should be fine
Dang thats the first thing he said in the video is they wont let you go through the school without that paperwork. I hope your right though. I would rather stay home with my wife and kids then fly out there and turn around and come back home
james bishop yeah they collect it on the first day, and it sucks telling them you dont have it, but there was around 10 of us that didnt have the book and we got them sent in next day aired and all of us passed
If they would have given me this stuff earlier in the week i may have noticed i didnt have it but i just checked today.
Just passed at the Bridgewater location. They are hard on the uniform thing because it’s about attention to detail. Also, you are not supposed to dry clean your uniform. It’s not supposed to be given to anyone outside of UPS because of the access it grants. It pretty much allows you into ANYWHERE. It was hard because of the memorization. I was great at writing it but the second I needed to say it out loud, I’d freeze and blank out. The other thing for me was that I was the only one. Just me and Gary. He’s a great instructor because he’s done the job. Some may think that would make it easier but I had no down time. Questions that would normally go around the table,were all mine. No time to breath. Driving was easy for me because I have my CDL A and drove a bus for several years. I’m starting part time air. My goal is a feeder driver. Thankfully this process is moving fast for me. I started pre load through peak 2019, this driving process started at the beginning of February 2020 so I’m in step with my plan. BTW, I’m a 52 year old female. The work is tough but if you work and show up, it’s easy to move up. It only takes 4-5 years to reach top pay, benefits are top notch and the pension is awesome and unseen in most companies, now. Good luck to all who are on their way! It’ll be worth it.
Is the diad training hard?
Congrats
@Drummer0088 currently 41.56 going up 2024
Just about to check into hotel for Integrad. Wish me luck. I will say again these videos super helpful getting a edge on things. Looking forward to video #3
Dean Colonel Thanks man, glad I could help.
Did you pass.
@@vag4lvevo22 nope
Check in for hotel?? Where the hell they send you???
I applied during peak years back off the street did well was hired fulltime been driving ever since now onto feeders
@Eclipse no only for tractor trailer
Lucky guy
What’s feeders !? And what did they start u at ? Hourly pay I mean
Baby in the the back just being hella patient!!
I breezed right through my road test, driving school, etc. Just waiting until mid August to get another chance at my 30 days. First attempt they made me go out in two feet of snow and not a single damn road was plowed and I ended up sliding sideways right into another vehicle. At least they let me go back to part time Saturday air driving....
Wow how long do you have to wait again? They are hiring seasonal drivers at my location now
Pretty good stuff. Orlando is way more strict on uniforms than my class was. As long as your boots could he shined, you shaved and you had a compliant haircut, they didn't care about creases and stuff. Probably bc most uniforms didn't fit and thrown together the morning of the first day of class.
What is an “compliant” haircut? 🤔
Never went to Integrad. Had a week training at the hub. Started at 18.75 and a year later I'm already at $23. In a few years I'll be making $41. It's worth it to go through the BS.
You must live in a somewhat rural area.
@@fl_atv_riders4455 No. Denver.
Fl_ATV_ Riders nah that’s like that everywhere. Top pay in Maryland is $40 after 4 years in.
@ Christopher: I'm starting Monday at the Gypsum hub as a delivery driver, and have no idea what to expect. I wonder if I'll go through the same "training" as you did for the denver hub
@@vancevalencia1462 I live in Maryland fresh out of school was thinking about Ups Elkton or Aberdeen location but this
Sound like hell
Great video man!!! Thank you!!
If you work like the supervisors want in the hub, more than likely you will be kept. Peak season hires are majority released. I started 9/14, took road and passed road test last year and now just waiting to see when school starts cause of this contract that's being voted on
I didn't start out as a warehouse worker and I'm talking about driving school in this video so supervisors have no say.
Just passed integrad last week it was tough but I made it 5s and 10s and the driver Drill is the most important thing
Hi eventually I want to drive for ups I was wondering what are the 5s and 10s mean?
@@jacobknippel8296 10 point commentary and the 5 seeing habits you can look them up online but they're a wicked pain in the ass they want the 5 point commentary memorized word for word im currently in the process of doing this now
@@justinvachon3839 why word for word
whats the driver drill?
Respect to the UPS troops yes troops! This is so similar to military basic training!😬 good golly molly
Basic military training all over again, but without the motivational screaming.
AF vet sitting here like oh damn...🤨
integrad I went to was alot more lax then this, still super strict but not like this. They wouldn't say anything about a logo showing on your socks, or neck tattoos they would just tell them they have to wear turtlenecks. they were super strict with us the 2-3rd day after inspection they never said a word about uniforms, mine was wrinkled halfway through the day because it didn't fit well. they do like to mess with you and see how much BS you can take. just stay calm and confidant and memorize your 5s & 10s and you will be fine.
I’m glad I didn’t have to go through the intense training this company expects now. I doubt I would have made it😕
Bro I'm trying to transfer to orlando,davenport area great vid👍🏻
Can’t wait until I’m 21!
Just a heads up as of the last week of August UPS has a new intergrad curriculum. There is no drill drive scoring no pretrip test out or scoring on integration station. Just get to the bus on time, know you 5 seeing habits and your 10 point commentary and learn your diad. It's super easy to pass right now. Right now is the time to go.
Where did you toke your intergrad class what location
Are you going to be a part time driver or a full time driver Iv heard they have 2 different classes atleast in Orlando they said they do
I took the class in Chicago. I'm going in as a cover driver.
@@TheSkeffdog in my area they are still very strict Orlando Fl and Atlanta Ga are the strictest I went to Orlando.
@@TheSkeffdog the 5 has to be exact the 10 can very a little bit. But it really depends on whos observing your verbal or going over the written. Some are more lenient than others.
Don’t scare the new people. Some of the things you said isn’t even true at some locations. Where I went you can drive there, no bus, you can eat there. Very relaxed. Start time 8am to 5pm.
I went to school at the end of February 2020, I failed!! To me your class most of the day. Since they want u to driver in there manner why not have more outside driving time. So get your 5 seeing habits out of the way alone with your tens.. do that on the first day!! Secondly pay to have your uniforms dry cleaned if your not a ironing person. Have the with straight line for your pant no slouching in pant. You don’t have to have boots but they need to be slip resistant shoe that are shine able. Because they grade the shine and if it’s a work shoe, no heavy boots or shoes because they look at how you walk to the next stations for work. When your doing integrad station outside please make sure your walk at a brisk pace they look at that too. They also want u to know the diad. When u get your two driving papers please study that in your own vehicle.The 2 minute driving drill alone the othe paper that says stale green light , point of desission, left right left, then one mirror check. The drill make sure u clear ever intersection call out ever pedestrian or cross walk and do not driver over a pavement that is all broken up call it out as a hazard. Have self confidence in your self. They listen and look at class room presentations as a group. They put in buddy system so if one slacks u can help each other. I had a guy and he wasn’t helpful as soon he was finished with his computer work, he got up and left to start the work station which is for two ppl to do together. So it makes you look bad when your partner leaves ...u behind. Make sure to study the pre inspection paper as well. I think I would have passed if I had more time on the road. I slacked on the controlling of the truck. Make sure you finish all modules with diad connected to the Bluetooth. Uniform inspection was hard bc you spend so much time at the hotel trying to iron. Get hemm tape and men get a shaver. But it was good experience just overwhelming.Take deep breaths and show them that u hand the route, the truck and the driving drill, and timms, and stale green lights..pass all modules u get 3 tries so it best to read fast. Plan ahead
Why did you fail and did you try again?
what shoes did you get? i dont want boots. how about brooks addiction walker?
This sounds kind of crazy . The whole time he sounded like he was explaining prison or marines lol
Passed Integrad last week, this was first week on job. Tough. That’s all I can say. This is not a job for anyone who’s looking for slacker type job. It’s tough
I was told it's like boot camp or a military style time of training, is that true?
Chicago Street TV I wouldn’t say that now, but that’s what I heard. I actually enjoyed Integrad a lot. Just make sure you practice
@@deancolonel5246 💯 🙏🏼
Definitely not. I'm on my last day taking my diad test now. They help a lot and want you to pass
@WhatTheHawk38 if you watch my last video I talk about this exact thing management picks and chooses who they want by purposely failing people by putting them on impossible routes
Bring your brain!! That's what you bring dude!!
Adrian Tomlin facts !! U have family issues this isn’t the place to go ijs
Its so funny how strict they are in school. But once you get passed that ive seen drivers with full beards and long hair. Plus wearing sleeves under the shirts
Any thoughts where I can get boots that I can polish and not spend a fortune. Should be going to class in couple weeks maybe. Gotta do the 40hrs online yet
Wal-Mart don't get the ones with dimples and if you plan on using them for work get Dr.sholes jogger inserts.
Fl_ATV_ Riders awesome thanks for the suggestion I’ll check it out.
I got my boots at the sketchers store and got 25% discount with my ups ID
Is that including PA???
Ok a lot of people are mistaking this video for working at UPS on the job. This is a video on UPS Driving School. The school is much much stricter than on the job.
I appreciate the informative videos. I keep seeing people use the word "Integrad school." Is this the same as the courier/driver school? I am supposed to be called for the driving school in the coming week or so. So boots is a must? Will they tell you the general information before hand, like shaving and what type of shoes to wear? Or do they expect you to know this? Thanks in advance!
@@Rick_Smooth they give a a paper with basic rules. When you talk to HR and yes intergrad is the same as the driving school different places call it different things.
@@fl_atv_riders4455 oh ok, so I should get that from HR before the next step then. I appreciate the quick feedback.
Not on Long Island, NY
johnny rbt is there a driver school on LI?
just went through class on a day notice. only had 4 days to study the 5s and 10s. well needless to say I failed! it's no joke but I feel like I was set up for failure from day one!
Did you fail because you didn’t memorize?
What book is that?
what is HR paperwork?
Do you live near Orlando? Just wondering how far they make you travel for school. I know it depends on location but I can't find ups school locations on Google anywhere or the ups site.
I'm about about 2.5 hrs from the location other where up to 4
just like working for oahu transit services (bus operator)
Is the 5 seeing habits and 10 points of commentary a multiple choice questions for the test?
No it's stuff that you have to memorize word for word
Question: Why is the camera moving?? Isn’t it on a stand/ tripod? Seems like it’s moving to the movement of your head!!! So strange!!
Ya I think this was recorded off of my phone and it has a face tracking feature really annoying.
Do you need to already have a CDL to work for Ups ? Or do they send you to school with their company?
No cdl needed at all just have a d.o.t health certification
How hard is it to pass a dot health exam?
As a person who is on the high-functioning autism spectrum (and has almost achieved many goals such as getting a drivers license, but still has yet to get experienced with the road in a car) I have considered driving for UPS in the near future. I have a long ways to go yet, so this would be considered, my dream job right now. Therefore, I am in no rush until I’m experienced period.
I believe in you I know a guy where I work that has autism an had became a ups driver after 3 years of working as a pre loader never give up. My little brother also has autism an is going to graduate in next couple of years.
Im on the high functioning spectrum of autism and have worked at fedex express and ground now have training for ups driver you can do it buddy.
Ups logo hat also must be an approved ups hat.
So do you also have to learn Manuel. Cause I heard some have Manuel and some don’t
Yes some very ruel areas have manuals still but atleast 95% do not
I went to intergrad at Phoenix and I failed on test day I didn't like that experience they make it too fast paced, but now im at NSPT in los Los Angeles its way more focused on driving and its not as fast paced so you get more practice on the road.
Fabian M.C. I’m going to class in two weeks. What do I need to look out for to make sure I don’t fail?
@@blackpharaoh6369 my advice would be to start practicing now as you drive practice everyday call the stale green light as you approach the intersections call out you eye lead time weather its a traffic light stop sign yellow sign, practice saying these thing out loud fast and smoothly also your driver drill for the highway its alot to memorize and in one week practice now so you can go in and call things out confidently and loudly as your driving.
@@blackpharaoh6369 also dont worry so much about the computer stations just learn the DIAD you can skip most of the other computer stuff.
Nope I'm out 😂
Didn’t kno I was joining the army again
I went back to look at the title because I been looking at getting ready for the Army videos for my Son taught this was one of his videos
Because of the busy season coming up, they are hiring crazy good right now. If you get luck you could get a permanent position. I’ll have to make a video of my experience. I see a lot of negative reviews on UPS school/training. I’ll give my honest opinion from personal experience.
90% of it is location seems like the south east has the hardest areas to pass.
So I got a call today from a lady that seen my resume and asked me a few questions then said we only do road tests on friday's hope u can come in tomorrow so I have a road taste in a few hrs this all seems so crazy
Ups does everything last minute
Can you please tell us how you prepared for the 5’s and 10’s
Flash cards and reading it over and over again
How difficult was it for you studying for that portion of the test ?
@@matthewbuesing9264 the 5s where what I struggled with because it is worded weird.
The 5's and 10's have me worried.
I was unaware you had to do all this just to be a delivery driver for ups. Im assuming same goes for fedex? Though i would search fedex integrad and find nothing about it...
FedEx doesn't do this as far as I know and UPS just really got into doing this about 6 yrs ago.
FedEx is like anything goes
Currently a pack handler , can’t waiiiittttt to be a driver so I’m here studying up before I even apply lol
Better have a very clean driving record or dont waste your time.
Where is the school? Is there a driving school in / near every UPS HUb? District/area?? Anyone know? Just got job offer of casual delivery driver/package delivery driver. Driving the package cars.
I been working at ups in Atlanta from 3 months and nobody is tell me how to get on with feeder. One driver told me friday to come around 7am to talk to supervisor ask about it because there is no sign up sheet.
Need CDL with doubles triples endorsement, 10 year work history, CLEAN driving record, ability to pass a DOT physical and drug screen and pass a road test in a 10 speed manual
Are you talking about ATLGA? PLEGA?, FPAGA?, or the new hub? Anyway, at Whites Creek, they posted a bid sheet roughly each January; sometimes more often. But I'd expect without actually working at those hubs, you got years to go. And normally, full timers are getting first shot. Normally. And at Whites Creek, getting to feeders was cut throat. People could care less what malady excluded you, including your own death. So don't expect anyone to tell you. Find the bulletin board where bid sheets are posted and sign only the jobs you'd take if offered. Again at the creek, if you signed for a job and were awarded it, it was yours even if you didn't want it and even if it meant a month later the job you wanted came open. You were stuck until another bid sheet was posted. Also, there was or used to be a hard limit on how often you could change shifts in the hub. Like if next week, you changed from midnight to twilight, but a month after that, there was an opening on noon day, you were stuck. It takes a while to learn the ins and outs. Getting the hang of vacation was really foreign.
Like any driving positions at UPS you have to bid on the position. The way it works is a bid list is posted up and it is up for 10 days. Positions are filled by seniority from top down.
Do you test in automatic or manual trucks?
Both
Depends, I just did a road test in manual
Dude I have 1 speeding ticket and that was my first ever. I got the start time confused in my hub and got it maybe 2 months back rushing to work. Will they let me drive? I’ve heard of guys having actual real shit and was told not to worry. Some people say it all depends
Ya like the others said it just depends if you were going well over the speed limit might be a problem but if its a 5 over i dont see a problem
Fl_ATV_ Riders yeah, I was going well over the speed limit cause I was on the freeway. I did traffic school though. For some odd reason I still got 2 points taken off. 85 in a 65
Graduated today. Starting Tuesday
What location did you graduate from
Hi Jesus. From Atlanta, GA. It was tough but doable for sure. There were two classes going at the same time. Both consist of 49 n 48 students. Two got sent home from other class on the second day. And one from my class on the 3rd day. The two got cut due to hitting a curb in a parking lot and one from my class, she was a nervous driver, I meant NERVOUS!... I felt bad cause she was a sweet lady. Anyhow, they’ve delayed my starting date on me. So I’m starting next Monday. I once was seasonal driver so it was easier for me to go tackle the class. But others? Nervous as hell. Where do you drive?
@@randyyoungban4021 hey i leave in the morning and got my binder thursday and when i check it iut tonight it doesnt have 3 of the forms im supposed to bring to class. Am i screwed? Its the hr signed and dated forms. Anti harrasment policy uniform policy and corporate school policy
james bishop no you are not screwed. They will remedy that once you get to the Integrad. Be sure to talk to the instructor for the missing paper matters. If you don’t have dot card, have your hr person to send you the picture and do on. Good luck to you bro. Which school if i may ask?
Im going to Atlanta. They told me orlando all along then changed it mid week. I have everything but those 3 hr papers. We have 2 hr reps and the one that is not usually mine did those forms with me a month ago and a different hr rep did my binder for school.
Does this information apply to LTL ( 18 Wheeler ) or Package Carts?
No just box truck drivers.
I start Monday. Main think I’m asking. Do you really have to remember word for word 10/5 driving habits
When I went yes things have changed though but I would still be prepared.
I know you said that we need to know verbatim what the 5 seeing habits are down to the apostrophe s. What about 10 point commentary. How strict is that? Is it like a multiple choice?
The bold lettering on the 10 point has to be the exact same. The paragraph below doesn't have to be perfect but close.
Fl_ATV_ Riders okay thanks again. You’ve been super helpful
@@fl_atv_riders4455 so only the bold lettering on the 10 point not the paragraph?
@@brazydre5956 the bold has to he exact down to the 's what's under it has to be very close
I'm leaving to Intergrad this Sunday by San Jose California and HR told me everything must be memorized word for word you can't even add words.
Do they make you parallel park road testing?
I didn't have to in my area but im sure if your NY or Chicago or something you might
Not in Chicago
Starting Intergrad zoom this Monday 10-26-2020. I know my 5’s and 10’s. Hopefully everything goes well.
just want to say to everyone doing the half assed training be careful and honestly expect to fail when you start to work. especially starting on peak
Got my road test tomorrow 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Just passed. Now i have to take my test online before getting a date set for integrad 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 i really hope it's not bootcamp military style
Any tips outside of the help from these vids? Road test next Monday
My grandsire drove for UPS for 97 years.
Lol
Oh man good thing I was in rotc in highschool it was very similar to this I can do this tbh I need this bread lmaooo
Aim high in steering. Get the big picture. Keep your eyes moving. Leave yourself an out. Make sure they see you. I had to slightly cheat. I couldn't remember the order after number 2. I knew the items, just forgot the order. One thing every UPSer will never ever forget is: what do you do with a leaking hazmat or suspected hazmat?
Sad part is hazmat isn't really tested well
@@fl_atv_riders4455 Nope, and nearly no one I knew could recite any of it.
So happy been a hazmat responder for the past three years otherwise I'd be toast lol BTW don't touch, get out of the trailer and tell a supervisor
ok howd you cheat? notes written on your skin?
There's an actual order to those?
My area doesn't seem to be anything like this."This conditional job offer is contingent upon successful completion of the UPS Road Test, Background Check and DOT Medical Exam." No mention of a school at all.
When you go to the school you are 100% hired. After you pass everything you stated they will offer you the position and then send you to driving school
@fl_atv_riders4455 Would there be a chance that I'd lose my job due to a uniform problem etc at school?
@Nick's Randomness things have changed a ton since I went so it's really hard to say. Best way I can explain starting out for ups is your not actually a full blown ups driver until you sign your union contract. So basically your hired with the intent to be fired is how you need to look at it, until you sign the contract.
How do they test you for the 5s and 10s??
Verbal or written test
I respect the UPS brand but is this a logistics company or a US military boot camp? Police Academy maybe?
Good question. Perhaps is both originally a package service company, low-key boot camp preparing them for the real deal. I'm an unloader got a do that fast I mean fast.
You make it sound like we’re going to Vietnam
You can have beards and visible tattoos now 😎 but everything else is still pretty spot on. The 5’s and 10’s are very important to learn and memorize
Are neck tattoos passable now ?
@@yoitskev8533 yes they are, as long as you can do the job and be professional you’re good
@@clichejose5600passed my drivers test today but going to school October 9th thru the 13th. Do you have any tips?
@@hunterboyan5152 study study your 5 and 10’s! Do whatever it takes to memorize them. I used flash cards :) whatever you do, do not hit any curbs while turning the package car. Easier said than done but always use your mirrors while turning. Use your bottom blind spot mirror and you’ll be good to go. The new “diad” aka the scanner came out last August and everything is self explanatory. It’s awesome and so much easier than the one I had to use when I first started. The new scanner is a game changer but I think other than that you’ll be fine. You are going to do a lot of commentary while driving with your instructor so just be prepared and don’t over think it. They were very strict when I went through the class and I almost wanted to give in but I didn’t. I ended up passing at the end and now I’m almost 2 years in. I’ll soon be at top pay and I’m forever grateful. Let me know how it goes or if you need anymore tips!
@@hunterboyan5152hey I’m 19 and wondering your first step to become a driver. Did u work part time and for how long?
Is this for UPS tractor trailer ?
No just delivery driver
That tattoo part: it’s a ups driver where I live fine as hell, has tattoos from head to toe
Im going to school but now I doubt it I have visible tattoos
If I go in with a cdl how can I jump others who may have seniority over me?
The position doesn't require a CDL so no most just let thiers expire. It's a union job
I fail because. I couldn’t concentrate in the driving test. On the 5 minutes driving drill.
What is the 5 minute driving drill?
I did OSUT at Ft. Benning, and there's a lot of the same shit going on with UPS, according to what you're saying. They're taking this shit too serious.
Will BearHeart in some way but it’s all about saving lives and being safe!
Sounds to me were ever you tested is completely ridiculous or they must have changed somethings since because at the hub I work at I do overnights pre load almost every single driver has visible tattoos and beards or longer facial and head hair im currently in the process of trying to be a driver I passed my road test first try got my DOT papers and now im working on all the computer testing stuff before I do the zoom stuff.they're doing 3 days on zoom and 2 in person sounds to me were you live is just strict as hell thankfully it's nothing like that were I live its actually the complete opposite my buddy from pre load just passed and he's got full sleeves and a beard talk to him this morning and he was wearing a short sleeve shirt
I’m in Integrad right now in Texas, day 2 tomorrow
Houston? How'd it go?
Passed.. it’s easy
How much weight are u required to be able to lift?
Just 50-70 lbs
In reality whatever is in your truck Iv had to carry anything from a big wood crib up 3 flights of stairs. To huge coolers filled with medical supplies up stairs and any time you have stairs and no elevator you have to cary it.
Is this ups driving school for people who have a cdl already ?
if you are going as a delivery driver you have to take this class regardless of license.
Sounds like your applying for the army
Are the trucks auto or manuel?
Both depends on the area, if they have manuals or not.
The drive test might have you operate a manual. They're either 4 speeds or 6.
UPS boot camp !
Not just a job a nitemare..
Work as a feeder !
My back hurts listen to you...
Ups here in toronto canada only pays feeders $19 a hr to start and top pay is $36 a hr after 4 years if you actually get hired and not let go before the 3 months probation . I guess ups wants you to starve to death live on the streets . House are close to a million with in a hr drive from their hub . would be nice if they would get with the times
That's more than the US

How was the road test? I have a road test coming soon
DJ Dineroe my road test was done with an automatic, so probably little easier than most. About 95% of trucks here are automatic.
The only feedback I got was that I hugged the right side.
If I were you I’d pay attention to the 5 seeing habits, and 10 point commentary. This should help with the things they are looking for

@@deancolonel5246 Alright thanks. I was told my driver test would be in a manual even tho most of the trucks are automatic. Don't even think going to a driver school is an option. Had an interview and drug test 4 days ago now waiting for a road test to be scheduled
Dineroe24 drug test? Ups doesn’t drug test drivers. Only CDL drivers get tested there
Do you have to know how to drive manual ?
I personally never had too but Iv been told some areas do
Sadly you do in some areas. In my hub you need to know but only the newbies drive manual but only during peak when it tends to be a lot of drivers. If you’re not comfortable driving stick don’t apply. Get comfortable and apply after. The last thing you want is to get stuck in a manual and you don’t feel as confident. You will have a long day TRUST ME
Yes
Btw Im a full time package car driver and I love my job and company. Well worth the hoops I had to jump through to get where I am now.
Good for you.
How’s it going for you
What are the steps to becoming a driver? I just got the call today!
Is it I train in my city, then fly out to a class in a different city and if I pass that I come back and start driving?
Why did he say for 2 months you don’t have the job?
You go straight to class for a week then come back and get 3 days training that's it then your on your own and you don't really have the job for 35 days I think it is. Is because you are not apart of the union yet until then which means they will fire you over just about anything in those 35 days
Pattyg1st you go to school for 5 days, memorize the 5 seeing habits, 10 point commentary, 5 rules of backing, 8 yard safety rules, 5 rules to preventing slips and falls, 8 keys to lifting and lowering, and hazmat rules. When you get the email from HR, there will be a depth of knowledge attachment. Memorize it WORD FOR WORD. You will be tested on it every day. On the last day you must pass. Here are some acronyms that will help a ton. For the 5 seeing habits, All Good Kids Love Milk. (Aim High I’m steering, Get the big picture, keep your eyes moving, leave yourself an out, make sure they see you.) There are definitions to that also! 10 point commentary, Starting up in traffic, when stopped in traffic, Count 1.2.3 after vehicle ahead has started to move, 4-6 seconds following time for speeds under 30 MPH, 6-8 seconds for speeds over 30 MPH, 8-12 seconds eye lead time, scan steering wheels, stale green lights, eye contact, pulling from curb, use of mirrors.
How I remember these is
Starting, stopping, 1.2.3, #4 is 4-6 #5 is 8
And SCCCC ( scan steering wheels)
STEP U!!! Imagine Shhhh!! Fuck you!
ST- stale green lights
E- eye contact
P - pulling from curb
U- use of mirrors.
For yard control safety rules think
ROB A SHIP
R- Yard certified employees must wear Reflective vests while working in yard.
O- Yard certifies employees must place orange cones in work area.

As far as the safe backing goes, imagine you’re in a package car backing up (let me save you some heartache and tell you DONT EVER BACK UP UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO! It’s dangerous, and a BIG no no.) Hazmat is Secure DEN. Secure area, don’t touch, evacuate, notify supervisor. As far as preventing slips and falls, imagine you’re there in the hub. You’re in a hurry, so you’re WALKING AT A BRISK PACE, but you also need to ESTABLISH FIRM FOOTING. It would be a waste of time to walk on the conveyors, so you should STAY OFF UNSECURED CONVEYOR EQUIPMENT. But while you’re walking you should also LOOK BEFORE STEPPING, and since someone spilled oil on the floor ADJUST TO CHANGING CONDITIONS.
It’s not hard once you get it down. 25% of this is having a great attitude 75% is studying and learning. Find a study buddy or, UPS has videos on RUclips for it. On the last day of class when you take this you MUST have all of it right. Don’t get intimidated, and take your time completing the test. You’ll be much farther along if you memorize these before going to class. Also, before going to class, drive like you would drive a package car ( ie, 2 and 10 steering wheel position with thumbs pointed up etc... you got this!) Damion Albino has a couple GREAT books on how to become a UPS driver, and How not to fail as a UPS driver. If you have prime it’s FREE on kindle. Also, for the first 30 days you’re basically on probation. If you wreck.. and by wreck I mean hit ANYTHING you’re disqualified. Don’t let that get to your head, just be aware of your surroundings and take it easy. After 18 days you’ll be expected to scratch a load. What that means is they will assign you 9 hours of work, and you’re expected to get that done is 9 hours or less. A supervisor will ride with you for 3 days. After graduating, request a route manifest ( your route) and drive it in your personal vehicle. Get that route down and 50% of your work is done, and your supervisors mind will be BLOWN. Also, it takes a huge edge off if you’re already familiar. You know the area, know the hazards, and cut your chances of crashing significantly. It’s a great company, and it’s a GREAT LIVING!!! Remember this, as it’s true with MANY jobs. People don’t get fired, they fire themselves!!
Pattyg1st Also, SHAVE EVERY DAY
You star driving like covering a driver. But you not just going to start driving permanently. because you pass. Remember is going to take a lot of time.
bystander66 wow thanks for sharing this. Feel like you just gave me some important keys.
This guy must have been transported to 1939 Germany. God bless him
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is there passes for people who can’t shave because it dries out the skin? Or I couldn’t even apply if I could not shave?
Christian Moran yes if you have a doctors note you should be fine.
I don't think so to be honest they acted as if they really don't why you can't shave one guy even told them it makes him brake out in a rash from close shaving and he still had to
Fl_ATV_ Riders impossible. If you have a medical condition they shouldnt be telling you to not follow it
Jesusjuice32 agreed
Andrea Moran you work for ups?
I’ve talked to two drivers in my city and they say neck tattoos are fine now.
Is this true I have a neck tattoo but considering not doing it anymore
you do all that and dont even go to work for month?
All this for a delivery job?!? Seems like I would be back in basic training again just to deliver some boxes. Idk about this anymore lol.
Kam it’s not that bad, just graduated about 2 months ago and passed 30day probation . I went to intergrad in Arizona . Just know your 5 and 10s shave and follow proper uniform guidelines and your fine. As far as probation use your breaks and lunch to fix your truck line packages right cuz the loaders suck. I would get work at 530 everyday to load my own truck because I wanted it loaded correct . After probation it’s all different I don’t get to work until 840 and actually take my full hour lunch and relax . All depends how bad you want the job .
scrappy is it really 10 hrs a day. And is the Arizona as serious as this guys was.
3fiddy2720 for training it was 8-5pm mostly computer training like the yearly ones they do in the hub . Really strict on uniform and shaving. Study 5 and 10s before you go so you test out of it the first day you get there. Rest of the week will be a breeze
3fiddy2720 not as a strict as this, I remember watching this video back then thinking the worst and once I got shipped out it was actually fun . There goal is for you to pass if you fail they waste time and money . You just need really want this job and test out 5 and 10s right away .
@@scrappy187affect What about the diad training is that complex or very hard to learn?
Do you get paid for training??
Yes you are paid for your milage if you drive there and you are paid whatever your starting rate is.
Fl_ATV_ Riders okay thanks!! Boyfriend is going next week. I’m assuming they don’t reimburse you if you fly 😂😂
@@blane1180 dont hold me to it but they should HR should have already told everything when he met with them to sign papers.
getting a seasonal job,did my interview,never said i was hired,just sent me to get my dot physical,which i did,then he called the next day and said i was going to take the driving test tomorrow.Kind of confused because i thought i was going to the school for a week and that included the driving test. do i take a driving test first and if i pass that,then the school?
That seems to be the process. Before going to the school you do a road test at your hub.
Yeah road test is flrst then school carrier do the same in usps
But i chose the pse position so i dont worry about snow maybe become supervisor in post office later on
Keep grinding!
This is so funny
Whats funny
Waiting on the second part
Sorry man been on a lot of overtime will get it uploaded asap
Thanks a lot, I have an interview next week and I trying to be prepared as much as possible, I'm studying my 5 seems habit, and the 10 commentary list, hoping for the best
@@loko0o125 good luck if you already have the 5 and 10 remembered before your interview that will show a lot. They like it when you go the extra step
@@fl_atv_riders4455 thanks I lot!! That's why I'm looking forward for the second part of your video, lol the previous one was helpful because now I have a better picture of this hiring process
@@loko0o125 your welcome the hiring process is pretty straight forward. Your first interview will last about 10 to 15 mins all verbal, the next is a driving test rent a Uhaul box truck to practice if your not used to driving a bigger vehicle my video is based on the school for ups. The hiring part of the driving test is to make sure you are a safe driver.
Jus to deliver some packages in a old no a/c van fuck this
UPS has much higher wages and you max out at 4 to 5 years on the job. Get into the union and you’re making $40 an hour
It’s not 10 hrs a day the class is only 36 hrs that’s 8 hrs a day. And Friday is the short day
