5s and 10s video was recently uploaded if you are interested.
Great video. Thank you
Haha they really cater to the younger generation...Nobody taught me anything about the routes I drove years ago, they just handed me the diad and said be careful.... I drove twice. Once from 2010-2012, it was terrible for me, having little kids. I drove again in 2014-16 & it ended up being really hard on my knees and I had to have surgery so I went back inside to work. I always tell people if they want to stay on after peak, start on preload (which is early in the morning loading the trucks). And you only did how many stops when you started? 20-40 stops? That's insane! I was doing 30 stops an hour and working until 8-9pm. That building sounds awesome!
That's probably because your store didn't have thousands of people trying to be seasonal. We were staff at one point where they had to tell people to go home.
@@Adutide lol thousands....? I don't even see a thousand people in a week lol. Our building has anywhere from 20-22 drivers for the year and 33 drivers for peak. Plus pvd's for peak. Them sending people home is all their fault for over staffing. Our preload does that all the time. Hell, I've gone home maybe 30 minutes after start time because of management over staffing.
Thanks for the info great video. Im currently waiting for an interview date as a seasonal driver.
“If there was a chance for me to go from seasonal to part time/full time, how does it work?.. would I have to reapply for a separate position or would they just hire me within?
Usually, you have to start from the bottom up. This means you will start as a loader in the graveyard shift. Depending on your location there is a seniority wait list for the Driver position. It can take 6 months or 5 years. I can only imagine now with the pay increase.
Yeah I have to attend UPS Driving school this Wed as a driver here in Florida. What’s the deal with Seeing Habits Quiz 10 phrases etc
Read through the comments and a lot of people have been asking that
Hello can you help me please like i applied for seasonal driver helper role position in Canada and after a day i received a mail from ups that they are happy to inform that my application is shortlisted and asked for my status in Canada and which route ID is near for me to meet the driver and a message to type that i am interested. So my question is have they picked me up for the position or my application is still in wait and i have to wait for there further response cause its been 3 days now and no reply from there behalf.
I do not live in Camada so I can't speak for them. However here in the U.S. they send you a link to schedule your orientation/driving test or they tell you what day to go for orientation. That can take a few days/weeks.
Start on truck tomorrow🤞🤞
Good luck!
my 1st 2 weeks package driving was light about 50 stops then they change your route and you have over 140 stops.
Yeah if you do good they will overwork you. You are paid a lot less than a regular driver so they will give you double the work
they usually give the senior drivers a break and they get small loads and then help out the seasonal drivers. it's a pain on the back but hey that's why I went feeder now lol
anyone else waiting for road test availability?
There are a few people waiting from my understanding
Took me over a week to get a spot to test.
@@Jklaver1 i applied on the 7th been waiting for a road test since. hoping this position can turn full time but i’ve been told it’s very rare so fingers crossed something works out
@@Jklaver1 did you get the job?
@@nicholasmccartney2521they denied me then randomly called me yesterday to schedule a road test this week
Hey guys, what is the first day of driving like? How many hours did the UPS "coach", or whatever they're called, have to drive along in your car with you for training? What time and for how long is your lunch? Did you really have to buy boots or did you get by with only sneakers and nobody said anything? Also with a car did you find putting the packages in the trunk faster to get out first instead of the driver's side backseat?
I finished Integrad training the week of October 20th. I got a Tuesday-Saturday schedule so following Tuesday i road passenger seat and basically helped my trainer. Next day he did the driving and he helped me with package selection but i did the deliveries. 3rd day i did the driving and deliveries while he watched. 4th day and since then i been on my own route… 40-50 stops first week 2nd week about 50-60… this my 3rd week and I got 111 today yikes lol
They are testing how safe you drive, the company understands the huge liability when they provide huge trucks to strangers, for example, new drivers can cost more than their lifetime salary.
Can you plz tell me How much time ups takes to hire someone because it’s been 2 weeks since i gave them my interview and 2 days ago i receive a background check email which i submitted successfully but don’t know if i am getting the job or not.
I honestly don't know I don't work in HR. It's probably very competitive right now with a lot of people applying so it may take some time. When I did the seasonal we had people show up to start working season until the last week of December. The contract expired on Dec 31st.
I have my driving test today. So I’m going to be doing this class for a whole week or is it a one day thing. I am doing the seasonal job here in San Diego.
After the driving test the class is Monday-Friday
what was the road test like?
@@nicholasmccartney2521 haven’t been able to take it or re schedule. I was told by the security guard that the facility in my area is using a third party company to hire the seasonal drivers, but they give wrong days and times to show up to the test and when I showed up the first time, a upset supervisor was unavailable to help me take the test. I am currently waiting for someone to get back to me so I can see what’s going on with my application.
@Jeeping21 how was the road test?
@@J__7777 they never called ! I got ahold of HR and no one ever responded to me !
I have my road test in two days, any tips or anything I should know about other than my 5s and 10s? I have them down for the most part, I’ll keep cramming them in to know them word for word just in case for these last couple of days and just try my best.
Make sure you implement them when driving. You will most likely be asked to describe what you are doing based on the 5-10s.
@@Adutide and do the 10s have to be word for word? A lot of people say it depends on the center you’re at but I’m just trying to get a solid understanding. My 5s are fine, and the titles for the 10s are fine too but I just don’t want it to be “if you miss one word, you’re out”, kind of thing but I’m definitely overthinking things.
Implement them while driving, got it. Thanks for the response!!
@@toabettertomorrow7949 where I worked it had to be word for word. You had to say it word for word while doing it on the test drive. It didn't have to be in order. However, they may ask you to say them all before you start. If you don't know them they may not even let you start. It's really up to who tests you.
@@Adutide Sheesh, better be prepared for the worst then, just in case. Thanks for your help, have a great rest of your day!!
Did u pass?
My husband passed road test at UPS today and person from ups said we will receive email from them in one or two days for training. And said there will be 2 days online training and one day in person. Does this mean ups has hired my husband?
If he applied for the seasonal driver yes temporarily until December 31st. Depending on how he does he may be allowed to start at the warehouse as a loader.
Wait. I’m going to be driving my own vehicle as a seasonal support driver. Will I still need to take the driving test? Also, I have orientation Monday for 4 hours. Will I still get a weeks classroom training?
I have no idea, but I don't remember anyone driving their vehicle in our class so probably no.
@@Adutide I saw that someone else had asked after I did so I apologize for making you repeat yourself. Thanks for the reply though bro take care!
so during the road test time, this was next step after application and background checks. Do I have to know the 5s and 10s at that time or during training. Cause nowhere it had said we needed to know this for the road test. My road test is tomorrow. 10-17-23 in Missouri.
Usually, you don’t take the road test until after you do the class. If you are taking it earlier you should be fine since they haven’t taught you the 5-10s
What are 5s and 10s?
@@J__7777 check out my new video I did a whole video about it.
But they included the list of 5's and 10's.
@@Adutidehere in MO I am required take road test first. Then sent to class for 5 days.
What is the orientation day? I have it scheduled before going to the school
They brief everyone on what to expect for the course. They also get all your information so that they can do a background check.
@@Adutide gotcha! I worked there for a season in the past but there was no orientation day. Do you know if it’s just for you or a group of seasonals as well?
@@kyle2206 when I did it it was everyone. They just pass paperwork and have you fill it out including your contract with pay information
On your second day with the supervisor aproximately how many stops did you have?
About 35-40
Thanks appreciate it!
hello i was doing my application online and then after i complete everything i get a screen were it says i have to select a day and time for road test ,,but its says all available tiime has been booked by other candidates,,its that mean i dont get the job or i just have to wait for that
It means that you have to wait for an opening. There are thousands of people applying. If you are early enough you should be fine. If not you may need to look elsewhere.
What I can suggest is that throughout the week if this is something you do want to do. Go to the UPS location you applied for between the hours of 8-10 A.m. and ask to see if you would be able to take the road test. Let them know that you have completed the application and everything else but you are just unable to get a date scheduled in. If you are persistent enough and well they are not maxed out they may accommodate you. You may need to go every day until they finally have a supervisor available. Took me 3 attends but it's possible.
@@Adutideare all the trucks standard?
@@J__7777 yes although you may drive a 24ft Brown truck so it depends
@@Adutide the 2 1/2 tons trucks are 24 feet right?
If I have a CDL A would it help me in the long run for Ups to keep me as permanent after the season?
I can't speak on that regard but probably yes to actually drive the UPS transport trucks
you have to get in 1st best and fastest way to drive feeder go and apply at a big and busy hub with over 200 feeder drivers . if you go to a Hub that's small it's gonna take you years before you drive feeder
TEAMSTERS LOCAL 104 👊
I applied for a seasonal driver that drives their own vehicle. Does the week of paid classes still apply?
I have no idea. I don't remember anyone driving their own vehicle in the class though.
No
There is no way I can be a package handler for 2 years just to get a driving job. Guess I will just get a CDL then, no wonder the pay is so good its like firefighters its almost impossible to even get the job!
Do drivers get to use a gps to find stops ?
The Diad will have GPS to each location and it's actually set up to where the package for that address was last delivered which is pretty cool.
@@Adutide thank you ! I have my cdl class A do you think I have a chance of getting a full time position ?
@@masterofnone11 I honestly have no idea truck drivers are at a different level
@@Adutide thanks for the quick response !
Do you really need to test out ans pass the 5s and 10s... WORD FOR WORD???
Depends on who does your test
Can you drive a truck if you’re a kid
I believe that you need to be at least 18 and have some years of experience driving.
If you do 40 stops in 5 hours you get pay 5 hours?
Yes although it shouldn't take you more than 3
@@Adutide ok thanks,but what i mean is you get pay by hours not by deliveries the fastest you go the more deliveries you need to make your hours?
@@raules70 honestly, I have seen guys take 8 hours to do 30 drops so you can take as long as you need and yes they will pay you. You will probably not have the option to be permanent though.
I don't know if they're lying or pay in U.S and Canada are so hugely different. in Canada, UPS pay is one of the lowest in the market.
for most jobs, they pay CAN$16.5 (US$11 min wage), Drivers pay is CAN$20/hr and they deduct $50 at first, and $44/month for ever for a sh**tty union that does nothing !!!!
You also need to understand that's an American company where HQ is in the U.S.
Drivers in Canada make more than $20 lol.
you don't know, be quiet @@smandin1
I thought you used your own vehicle?
They asked for my insurance information and dl number?
This is for Seasonal Drivers meaning you drive the UPS trucks or moving trucks that they provide. If you are driving your vehicle you fall under a different category.
Every seasonal driver is about to be sick when peak is over thinking there going to skip the line from the people waiting in the warehouse lol
Well why keep people in the warehouse waiting? Also, if people have been putting in the work to become a full time driver and did not work in the warehouse first, there shouldn’t be an issue. I have my CDL A, I was a driver helper for UPS last holiday season, and now I’m getting ready to start as a driver seasonally. Hopefully I’ll stay on past peak and if not, I’ll find another space.
Depends on the need of the hub. At mine they hired two seasonal guys full time last year. One of those guys is one of the top drivers at my hub now. You never know what can happen.
@@kassanova5430 True, you never know what can happen. I cannot stress enough how important it is to have positive attitude. In probation, you must scratch, but if you're getting along with center mgmt, you'll get full support.
Well they did sign a new contract when they where talking about a strike a couple of months back and also alot of the old school drivers from early 90’s where forced to retire during that time. And not everyone who was waiting in the warehouse makes it to the road.
Yeah new contract for 2023 is going to diminish thousands of non Union seasonal hires. It’s going to be Union members first and then any outside hires have to be negotiated with the local unions of each hub per the companies needs. Unions are going to protect union jobs all cost so you are most likely going to be only a seasonal hire.
What class license do we need? I had tried applying and they stopped my application because they said I didn’t have the right license class
Regular car license, you may have applied for the wrong UPS driving job
@@Adutide thanks for the fast response! I did apply for the right position but I will try again tonight
I’m guessing they’re ignoring me due to my age ( 56 ).
Don't believe that there are age restrictions. As long as your driving record is clean you should be fine.
@@Adutide They kept saying I had to wait for a opening in the road test schedule, but that’s been over a week now.
@@Adutide Yeah, my driving record is great, I’ve got a class A CDL w/hazmat. I’m physically fit and ready to go.
@@jimstenlund6017 everyone is now interested in UPS due to their pay increase to over 6 figures. It's going to be super competitive
@@Adutide That’s how it got when I was hauling fuel, guys making six figures, then you really have to watch out because people will lie and cheat to protect their job even if it means sacrificing yours.
No benefits, no guarantee to be a full-time employee ... not really great for people who need health insurance etc etc
It's a temporary place to work and make easy money
You forgot to say about the 5s and 10s
They will discover that in the classes. Didn’t want to give too much info and overwhelm people.
@@Adutidethat’s probably the most important part
It’s the bull💩 part of it
What are 5s and 10s?
when you get the position they will give you the 5s and 10s . he's covering his ass so he doesn't get in trouble
