I worked in a UPS warehouse for 2 years and let me tell you, coming from construction, it was the most physically demanding job I’ve ever had. The craziest part is you would expect like a bunch of young guys to be there but nope almost everyone there is like 40/50 or older and still out working the young guys. I would always ask why they are still doing this and almost 100% of the time it’s because they wanted the benefits for their kids. Those were some real men.
What kind of construction were you doing that makes you believe driving for UPS is more physically demanding than construction 🤣 if you were an electrician than I’d understand
Same, I was a pre loader for about a year and a half. I’d end up walking like 10+ miles during my shifts and there was a bunch of people in their 40’s-50’s that had been there for years. Craziest thing is that we’re in Phoenix, AZ and the warehouse isn’t air conditioned lol, just fans.
I wish there were more people like this, willing to talk about how much they make or experience and not just push it off or whatever and make it personal.
@@therealjpoe23 why is it personal? What does how much you make say about you as a person? Quite the opposite - if you and I are doing the same job and I'm making more than you, I want you to go to our boss and demand a raise because you're getting hosed.
My dad grinded for 35 years at UPS as a driver. Worked 12 hour days - 5 days a week. He provided for the family and NEVER skipped a beat. Took us on vacations to Disney. My sister and I will always be grateful to UPS for providing a stable income to my father to raise our middle class family.
@@joseavila5616Guess again, they make big money and great benefits! More then you make trust me. I should know, i work there and made 150k last year, 9 weeks paid vacation and free health care.
UPS workers are going on strike in August because UPS is trying to cut their pay. For drivers they’re cutting their pay by $8/hr (minimum) and for warehouse workers it’s even worse. UPS made $13billion in profit last fiscal year and they’re trying to pull this shit. Over 340,000 workers are set to go on strike on 08/01
That guy was sooo chill talking about his career. Hope he’s doing well, and was cool of him to talk to that guy with questions. He answered everything honestly. That’s respectable!
I'm not with UP s, but. Most of us delivery drivers get a bed rap for not wanting to talk to people. But The Thing is, it's just war under a time. Crunch from the higher-ups, but if you have questions about certain things, we will 100% answer If we know the answer.
There should be MUCH more of these videos. Honest people asking honest questions with even MORE honest answers. Gives a great idea on what it entails instead of being gaslighted and finding out its not for you. Great short.
UPS and related drivers are some of the most demanding jobs, I’m glad they get great benefits and have good pay. I always really appreciate my drivers that handle packages well
Warehouse work is hell so I respect him for that but most drivers I knew were assholes so I appreciate seeing the chill drivers even more. Dudes like this would help us preloaders and irreg sorters load the trucks so we don’t get hurt (despite osha saying we need to get help from our preloader coworkers if it’s 70lbs+). Problem was that only a handful of drivers were like that and all the rest were miserable spiteful SOBs that laugh at you while you struggle.

Even walking an average speed of 4 mph, you could easily hit that many miles in a 10+ hour day.

@@christopher7398 Maybe now I sit at a desk as a film editor. But for 15 years I worked as an EMT on an ambulance and in an ER. Guess who's on their feet and walking around way more than UPS drivers? Medical personnel. Whenever a patient was admitted to the hospital from the ER.... Guess who pushed them on a bed with wheels to their room? Me. On my busiest day i'd register 18,000 steps which would equate to 7 miles. I think I know a thing or two about walking and delivering all day at work
I know someone who works in the warehouse currently, whose father also worked at UPS for almost 50 years as a package driver and then a transfer truck operator. I also worked as a temporary driver for a while. The job does pay well once you get to be a driver, but those driver positions fill up extremely quickly. It's not really a hard job if you're moderately in shape, but can be very boring sometimes. The people who get those jobs don't quit very often so if the local area has no openings it could take more than 5 years of working in the warehouse before a position opens up. My friend has been trying to get in as a package driver for about 3 years now in his area, but it's been pretty difficult.
Then he needs to start writting his grievances. I work 50 hours bc I want to, anything after 9.5 hours for two days in a row UPS has to pay you 3X and lighten your load.
Same as truck drivers or any construction worker remember you still have a wife at home can’t just get home and go to sleep bro you gotta do yo thang in bed too.
@@Timnguyen819more so say you have a baby ,gotta spend time and help her too because i known a lot of guys woman leaves because she feels like a single parent.just working making good money isn't enough gotta bond .

Awesome, nice to quality people out there doing the right thing. No excuses, just grind it out & take care your business. You'll get rewarded in the end. God bless
Been at ups 22 years great company especially for people without a college degree… package delivery is pretty tough… The best position to be is driving the big rigs (feeders/ team drivers) 6 figures no problem!
It was cool to see him at first be a little hesitant and then as you asked more questions he got the chance to talk about his career to someone and was happy
Happening all over the world. Black men are successful all over the world. White men need to be just as appreciative of having a job and it's good to see white men work.
With the new contract august 1 they’ll get rid of the 224 position and top pay should be 50 an hour. Also end excessive overtime. UPS pays well but there’s no AC in the trucks and when I started I was out there 9am-9pm 5 days a week, hard work
@@iRivasTV just a rumor in the warehouse, now it’s 41.50 an hour. I hope it goes to 45-50 an hour due to cost of living rate increase. With inflation it should
@@iRivasTV I’ve heard from some Union Guys that they’re asking for a $5 raise on top of current wages plus a $10 raise given incremental. So top out would be over $50 if those terms are agreed on.

@@micromashington You literally could’ve just said, “A hard working young man, Love to see it” but no you had to bring his race into it because I suppose most normal men that are black cannot work hard lmao
That’s cause FedEx ground drivers are 3rd party drivers who don’t even technically work for FedEx and who don’t get the incentives like the actual drivers do. They’re not even considered actual employees of the company. Pretty shitty huh.
@@navinstrument8353defiantly worse. I work for FedEx in the warehouse as I go to school. (Because they pay for my tuition). But the warehouse is absolutely horrible. And it's not much better for the drivers
I was a driver helper in peak season of 2019. I then trained for package delivery in June 2020, but the job was not for me. Now I’m in school studying automotive technology so I can service and work on the UPS trucks. I’m proud to have 4 more months of school. 😃
This job works for some, but I tried it for about a week(got hired on as a driver) and they lied about the hours and don't give you the tools to do your job well. They said it was 40hrs/week in interview but day 1 they said I'd be doing 60+ and my supervisor said 80% of the trucks don't have gps
Okay, this is out of the context but, I remembered when I was working at UPS as customer service representative before. The weirdest call we received that time was when a guy customer was complaining about one of our driver because the driver was having an "affair" with his wife 😂
If you can survive the horrors of the warehouse it might be worth it. I tapped out on day 2. I just wasn’t happy there and felt very unsafe with a million ways to get injured easily.
I can tell you that driving isn't any easier or safer then working in the warehouse by any means. It's just a faster way to get a full time position and top rate pay. I see drivers coming back in the building all the time. You would have tapped by lunch day 1 as a driver fam 😅 ain't got that juice
Don't forget to mention it's mad difficult to get in because either you gotta know someone or really stand out. That's what I've seen at least. They giving you a ton of stuff they expect appreciation in return
Make yourself stand out is the easiest way if you just show up and work hard.. i work at ups lmao sure there are kiss asses who move up positions faster but its definitely possible to move up just by working hard
@@zerosnear4344 idk where you work at but from where i used to live it was hard to get in there. One avenue i had was a boss of mine at another industry warehouse who also worked for UPS. Everyone has different experience
@@petermacqueen4703 I learned the hard way that ass kissing will never get you where you truly wanna be in life. You gotta just show other people you are legit and a good coworker. But then workplace politics gets involved, and I hate that more than anything else.
The 22.4 position this guy has it starts at 20 an hour and gets to 34 an hour after 4 years and is scheduled to work tue through saturday. For regular drivers (RPCDs) they start at 21 an hour and hit around 41 an hour after 4 years and they work mon through friday. Despite the significant pay difference they are essentially the same job.
@@kthnxbi8834 if theres a spot available but hopefully this august they get rid of 22.4 and convert them into traditional driver ,22.4 are underpayed drivers
She was wrong. Asking someone how much they make can help in 2 ways. 1. You know where you stand 2. You know where they stand That little bit of information can change your life
@@randolphurriola1309 Its literally the same in America too. Pay has probably only went up like 30% in the last 10 years while housing went up like 100%+. Your probably aren’t paying $2,000 - $4,000 rent each month for a regular 2bd apartment in your country. Just a cup of coffee here is like $7 after tax
Black people love to work single man/ woman jobs and are 10/10 phenomenal workers. That's the only way they're left alone. This guy could be a completely awesome worker but still you'll have people judging whether he deserves it or not based on criteria usually political that has nothing to do with the job and will ruin a good worker.
@@NickRidgerspay is wayyyyy worse. They usually don’t pay you by the hour. You get a daily rate. So like $120-$160 a day. Basically equals out to $12-$16 a hr depending on your contractor. Long 10 hour days. Christmas time you’ll be absolutely slam packed with no extra pay. No vacation time, sick time or personal time. If a holiday falls on a week day you’re screwed. No holiday pay. No benefits.
This is why the UPS teamsters are threatening to strike. You only get benefits like this when you fight for them. Good on the teamsters and good luck in their struggles.
$21 an hour and after 4 years you’ll get paid $45 an hour which is 87K a year not bad and it haves good benefits
I talk to UPS drivers on my route and they making $100k after taxes. But they working after four years, mbn.

Even walking an average speed of 4 mph, you could easily hit that many miles in a 10+ hour day. Even delivering in an average residential neighborhood for an 8 hour shift, I would climb enough stairs to equal the Empire State Building and walk 7+ miles a day. Don’t speak on things you have no knowledge of.

@@christopher7398 Maybe now I sit at a desk as a film editor. But for 15 years I worked as an EMT on an ambulance and in an ER. Guess who's on their feet and walking around way more than UPS drivers? Medical personnel. Whenever a patient was admitted to the hospital from the ER.... Guess who pushed them on a bed with wheels to their room? Me. On my busiest day i'd register 18,000 steps which would equate to 7 miles. I think I know a thing or two about walking and delivering all day at work

I know someone who works in the warehouse currently, whose father also worked at UPS for almost 50 years as a package driver and then a transfer truck operator. I also worked as a temporary driver for a while. The job does pay well once you get to be a driver, but those driver positions fill up extremely quickly. It's not really a hard job if you're moderately in shape, but can be very boring sometimes. The people who get those jobs don't quit very often so if the local area has no openings it could take more than 5 years of working in the warehouse before a position opens up. My friend has been trying to get in as a package driver for about 3 years now in his area, but it's been pretty difficult.
Yep and theyll fire you anthing and warehouse worker gets treated like shit
Hope this brother moves up through the ranks! 🙏
lol my ups driver said, the job is what allowed him to buy a house but its also what caused his divorce and he works 10-12 hours a day
Then he needs to start writting his grievances. I work 50 hours bc I want to, anything after 9.5 hours for two days in a row UPS has to pay you 3X and lighten your load.
Damn 10/12 hrs days that’s nothing I work construction and I do 16/19 hrs day and I’m the supervisor I guess he needed to be a better husband

FACTS
That’s cause FedEx ground drivers are 3rd party drivers who don’t even technically work for FedEx and who don’t get the incentives like the actual drivers do. They’re not even considered actual employees of the company. Pretty shitty huh.
Better or worse?
@@navinstrument8353defiantly worse. I work for FedEx in the warehouse as I go to school. (Because they pay for my tuition). But the warehouse is absolutely horrible. And it's not much better for the drivers

The 22.4 position this guy has it starts at 20 an hour and gets to 34 an hour after 4 years and is scheduled to work tue through saturday. For regular drivers (RPCDs) they start at 21 an hour and hit around 41 an hour after 4 years and they work mon through friday. Despite the significant pay difference they are essentially the same job.
For RPCDs in my area they start at $34 and 22.4 start at $24
Can 22.4 hit $40 eventually too? Do they ever convert to regular drivers?
